Happy Wednesday, sweeties! I'm happy to host the lovely author +Dominique Watson as we chat about writing and her latest book Concealed Betrayal. Please make her feel welcome.
*****
Q1) Welcome to my blog, Dominique. Please tell us a little about yourself
Yes, I am a published author of fifteen
books. I write in the genres of Urban/Christian Fiction, Poetry, Inspiration
and Mystery and Suspense. I am the owner of PEN’Ashe Literary Magazine and
Diamond M’Press Publications. I am also a literary mentor.
Q2) An accomplished writer. Great to have you with us. Have you always wanted to be an author?
No. I went to school for cosmetology. I’ve
always had a love for writing though. My grandmother inspired me to publish my
first book.
Q3) It's so nice when I meet other writers who did other things before writing. Who are some of your favorite writers? Who
do you feel has influenced your writing?
My favorite authors are Joy Deja King and
James Patterson. I love Joy’s hustle as a self-publisher. She’s a woman of many
hats. I love James Patterson because he tells such compelling stories. I love
anything that’s of mystery.
Q4) Will have to check out Joy's work. So tell us what a typical writing
day for you is like.
Well if I need to sit down and work on a
book I like to shut out the world and simply write. I write without editing or
anything else. My office is in the front of my house so I have the blinds open.
Sometimes I’ll sit on the floor or at my desk with a cup of tea or Starbucks
White Chocolate Hot Chocolate or my favorite snack.
Q5) Cool. I love shutting the world out too when I'm writing. Now, let’s talk about your new book. Can you
tell us a little about it?
Yes, Concealed Betrayal 4: My Saving Grace
is the last book in the Concealed Betrayal Series. It’s a Christian Fiction
series that stared off with a woman having an emotional affair after her
husband fell into a depressed state after the loss of his mother. In the 3rd
book tragedy hit close to home for some of the characters. Book four picks up
right where book three left off answering a lot of questions and closing the
story up nicely. I like to call my work a replica of Tyler Perry with a twist.
There’s always a moral or lesson somewhere.
Synopsis
Harmony has just lost her father. In need
of a mother’s touch, she goes to visit her mother only to find her knocking on
death's door. Meanwhile, Zora has found a new life and new love in her ex.
She’s beaming from ear to ear and things couldn’t be better until she realizes
the hurt and pain her Goddaughter is facing. Zora takes matters into her own
hands bringing healing to those closest to her. Concealed Betrayal 4: My Saving
Grace is the perfect end to a heartfelt series. With readers wondering about
past enemies and new loves, all questions are answered while visiting past
friends and mending broken hearts. Concealed Betrayal 4 will not leave you dry
eyed.
Q6) Sounds fascinating. How did you come up with the idea for
this story?
I’m not sure where the idea for the series
came from. I just got the idea and went with it. I wasn’t planning to write
four parts to this series but the fans fell in love with it. So I went with it.
Q7) Fabulous! So, what is up next for you?
I will be re-releasing my poetry collection
under my publishing company. Then I will be releasing the paperback version of
my Secrets and Deception series. The next book to follow will be the 2nd book
in my Scarlett Fry series. That will drop on August 16th.
Q8) You're a busy lady. Best wishes for all your projects. What is the best piece of advice you
would give to a budding writer?
Learn every area of the business. Stay true
to who you are and don’t allow a bump in the road to keep you from your dreams.
Q9) Great advice! What is the next book on your To Read
Pile that you are dying to jump into?
Probably Rum Runner by JA Konrath or
Furious by TR Ragan.
