WHAT I LIKE TO READ:
I'm often asked what books/authors I would recommend
from readers who have read all of my books and are looking for more good
reads. If you're one of those folks and are looking for a good read, I
have provided my top 40 picks for novels by some of my favorite
authors. Enjoy.
After days of nail biting, hair pulling and general mulling about, I have decided on a name for the new novel. It's vague...which is on purpose (the original title gave away too much and I like keeping secrets). So here it is: FROM THE DEEP.
I told you it was vague. But I made a mock book cover and it looks and reads easy on the cover. So it will do for now, or until a publisher takes it and at that point they'll probably change the title (it happens). I also finally have names for all my major characters.
Atticus Young - A father and hero of the story. Giona Young - Daughter of Atticus and the motivation behind Atticus' actions (she's in danger). Trevor Manfred - Good guy or bad guy? You don't know...or won't know...but I do...err, will. And of course whatever is FROM THE DEEP (say that dramatically like a radio announcer...catchy eh?) But what it is will be kept under wraps completely. Not even on the back cover will it say. Why? Because when you find out, or figure it out, you're gonna say, "Holy crap!" That's the plan anyway.
I have yet to start writing the book but hope to start next monday. I now have about 100 pages of research printed on various topics like research vessels, scuba diving, the Gulf of Maine (this is our lacation in the story), our mystery creature (which, by the way has NEVER appeared in a work of fiction!) and other assorted topics.
This story should be great fun, and that's nice for me because I'll finish it faster that way.
I'm willing to take guesses on what the creature is. I'm will to bet no one can come up with it...but I'm also willing to bet you've all heard of it. I would guess about 90% of the world knows about this creature, if not more. Before I start laughing like Dr. Evil, I'll say goodnight.
Is the mystery creature mythical or something that actually exists or has existed?
I always debate whether my questions are stupid or not, but I thought if it was something that existed, would it really surprise us by coming "from the deep?" But if it were mythical, that increases the odds quite a bit (I think) that it would have been seen in previous works of fiction.
Or maybe you're only taking guesses and not fielding questions.
I believe about 70% of the 90% of people who know about this creature would say it was real. But there are plenty of people who believe it is mythical. Of course my take on the creature is fairly different than whats typically depicted... but this is because no one really knows what the creature was because the single account of it is vague. But what I've done is take a creature that has many modern accounts of its existence (though no physical remains)and apply it to this single ancient account (that everyone has heard of). It's my way of taking something well known and giving it a new spin. So I guess the question is two fold -- what is the original account of the creature and what modern creature am I using for it? Of course, if you happen to guess I'll promptly delete your post so no one sees the answer! Though I'm still confident no one will figure it out.
It would probably be fair of me to say that this creature doesn't have an official name. So anything like Kraken, Hydra, etc is out. In fact, what exactly it is/was is highly debated even still. The original account I'm using for the creature's first sighting/creation is vague, using an all around term for sea creature or more specifically "sea monster". And this account is the story everyone knows.
I did say I'd delete your post if you guessed correctly! I'll let you see this before I do...and I will! You got it..though I did give a good bit of hints! Was I correct in assuming the creature has not appeared in modern fiction?

INTERVIEWS
Here are some links to
interviews I've done, past and present--newest on top.
I'm a huge fan of the genre I write,
and read books by the following authors like they were my Grandma
Vincent's homemade chocolate bon-bons on Christmas Eve. If
you're a fan of any of these authors, you'll feel right at home
within the pages of my books.
jamesrollins.com - My favorite
author, and my biggest supporter, James Rollins, bestselling author
of BLACK ORDER and THE JUDAS STRAIN can do no wrong in my book. I've
been a fan since reading SUBTERRANEAN maybe seven years ago.
prestonchild.com - Douglas
Preston and Lincoln Child are the fantastic writing duo that brought
us THE RELIC, DEEP STORM and BOOK OF THE DEAD. Whether they're
writing together or solo, these guys don't miss.
matthewreilly.com - Matthew Reilly's novels are basically
action-adventure/thrillers on speed. I love his creative and his
non-stop pace. His first novel, CONTEST is not only my favorite
of his, but it was also originally self-published...no wonder I
like him!
stevealten.com - Steve Alten thinks big...big creatures
that is. I discovered his books about two years ago and read one
after the other until I ran out, finishing with THE LOCH, which
I have to admit was a major inspiration (along with his MEG
series) for the novel I just finished writing. I am now proud to
say that I am publishing the next book in the MEG series, HELL'S
AQUARIUM through my publishing company, Variance.
crichton-official.com - Not including
his two most recent book, Michael Crichton is the master of science
based thrillers. JURASSIC PARK, THE LOST WORLD, TIMELINE, SPHERE and
PREY all rank among my favorite novels.
scottsigler.com Scott is not only a cool guy, but he
also writes awesome novels. Ancestor, which I blurbed, is one of
my favorite new novels. Look for his future books, INFESTED and
NOCTURNAL from Crown Books.
jackdubrulbooks.com - When you're looking for action
adventure novels, Jack DuBrul's character, Phillip Mercer, can't
be beat. And now that DuBrul is teaming up with the granddaddy
of the genre, Clive Cussler, we'll be seeing a lot more from
him.
stelpavlou.com - Not only is Stel a stand up Brit and a
really nice guy, but he's also written one of the finest books
of the last 10 years. DECIPHER is an amazing and smart thriller.
