Hello. Thank you for visiting my blog today. I am
Rebecca Scarberry – Scarberryfields on Twitter.
I have interviewed author, Nicholas Forristal. I think you will enjoy getting to know this
talented author as much as I have.
Scarberryfields:
Can you please tell us how many books you have written and their titles? Please
also explain a little about each book.
Nicholas: I
have written one book and it was self-published on May 18, 2012. It's called
“Chronicles of M”. It's a modern day story about a newly retired Hollywood
agent who is offered a job working for an ex-government agency whose purpose is
the handling of an unconventional man named "M" as he battles the
supernatural.
Scarberryfields:
When you finished your debut novel, did you miss the characters?
Nicholas: Nope!
I started writing the second book the next day and I've got at least 2 more to
do after that.
Scarberryfields:
While writing, if you need help with punctuation, grammar, etc., where do you
turn?
Nicholas: The
internet, family, sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figure it
out. At the end of writing, I'll hire a proper editor and let them tell me what
I did wrong. Stephanie Dagg did the editing for this book (she's at http://www.ebook-ed.it/ ) and will probably
do them from here on out.
Scarberryfields:
With the number of hours spent writing, do family members support you or
complain about the time spent away from them?
Nicholas: I
do the majority of my writing in the early morning (5 am) or when I have time
at work. So no, they only have to deal with me talking about it.
Scarberryfields:
Does writing benefit you in any way and if so, how?
Nicholas: It
makes the voices in my head stop talking.
Scarberryfields:
When you’re writing, do you shut-off all social networks?
Nicholas: I
can usually write in any setting. It's only when the writing becomes more
difficult or thoughtful that I need to shut out the world. The chapter about
this mortician named Uhler was mostly written in silence. It's one of my
favorites.
Scarberryfields:
Did you use any family members as Beta readers for your debut novel?
Nicholas: I
used anyone willing to look at it. I figured the more opinions I got, the
better off I'd be.
Scarberryfields:
What do you do when you aren’t writing? Do you have any hobbies or a job?
Nicholas: Any
time outside of writing or getting the word out is spent with my wife and son,
video games, reading and watching television or movies.
Scarberryfields:
Are you writing anything at this time? If so, please tell us about it.
Nicholas: I'm
currently writing the sequel to Chronicles, it picks up moments after the first
book ends. I've also been jotting ideas for some future books not related to
the series.
Scarberryfields:
Where can readers go to find your books?
Scarberryfields: Thank you, Nicholas for taking the time to answer my questions. I wish you the best with all your writing.
