Danita Minnis: Dreaming of Him

I’m driving to work and in front of me a man gets run over by a car.

A tragedy? No, it’s a romance, my paranormal romance Falcon’s Angel.

For three weeks this man haunted me, always getting into trouble. I had to throw this man into life-threatening scenarios and let him figure his way out. Threw a couple of his friends and enemies in there with him. Some of them didn’t make it. Whoever he is he must have nine lives, I thought. If he’s that good at dodging a knife, maybe he’s an assassin. While breading chicken for dinner I would wonder; what would this man do to stay alive?

I had to record these thoughts, get them out of my mind and into my laptop.

I didn’t know then that I was learning some of the most important ingredients for a great story: goal and motivation.

What do your characters want? Give it to them (even if you think they’re crazy) and see where it takes them. y alive? (I didn't know then that I was learning some of the most important ingredients for a great story: Goal and Motivation)

That's how I started writing.

Writing is not easy for me. It's not effortless, and the learning curve only increases. But I love it. I have stories in my mind that wake me up at night and fill notepads. That's inspiration, yes, but delivery is key. I'm working on that, I better always be working on that.

My debut paranormal romance Falcon's Angel releases on May 28th (www.LiquidSilverBooks.com).

It's countdown until release day and like any new author I'm jumping out of my skin with hope, fear and a few things in between. Hope you don't mind if I share....

Here’s what I learned by writing Falcon’s Angel; my characters write their story. After all, they live it! I’m just telling their tale.

As it turns out, my hero Falcon does not have nine lives, he’s got something better; Angel. He just doesn’t know it yet. She’s just as clueless, and perhaps a bit more stubborn. Without giving too much away, let’s just say that’s a problem for both of them.

 A haunting tale of passion, two hundred years in the making...

Angelina's passion is music but she has never felt this kind of want before.

Falcon wants the Stradivarius in her possession and goes undercover to track down a thief. He soon discovers he is not the only killer in search of the violin.

il Dragone, a devil-worshipping cult, wants revenge for a past only they can remember.

Falling in love was never part of Falcon's plan but before he can have what he wants, he must help Angelina unlock the secrets of a love which ended in tragedy in eighteenth century France. This is one special assignment that must be completed before il Dragone gets what they want.

Falcon’s Angel is a paranormal romance of love that ended in tragedy in eighteenth century France. That love is tested in a fight of good versus evil some two hundred years later. This time around Falcon and Angel have an opportunity to put a stop to the cycle of murder and mayhem, if only they can remember.

Bio

If you asked Danita Minnis which is easier, writing songs or writing novels, she would say it was the former. Melodies and rhymes are second nature. What her characters want is another thing entirely. With her debut novel, Falcon’s Angel, she learned to listen to her spunky heroine and sinfully confident hero. They’re funny and in danger, and that’s just the way they want it. Lesson learned: don’t try to save them.

When she’s not writing, Danita exercises her lungs at her son’s soccer matches and their favorite theme park, because everyone knows it’s easier on the stomach to scream your way down a roller coaster.
