Little Bird: How did you get the idea for Cold Komodo?
Me: I got the idea when I went to this reptile petting zoo place in a mall, that had actual reptiles in the back of the store and you got a tour and information about all of the animals back there. Our tour guide showed us this one type of lizard that is called Komodo Dragon. The facts I learned about that type of lizard was so neat, I could not let it get away. I had to do something with it. What better way of putting it in a novel?
LB: What inspired you to write Cold Komodo?
Me: What really inspired me to write Cold Komodo was death, as morbid as that sounds. For a long period of time I tired to teach and tell myself that death is not the enemy, even though we cry. It's not death that makes us cry, it's the thought that we wont see that person for a very long time and they are no longer with us physically. It's very hard to cope with that. Death is our calling, that takes us, hopefully, to a better place.
LB: Can you describe a little bit more about how this fits into your book?
Me: Yeah. Even though the petting zoo gave me the idea and the facts were so interesting, that part had very little inspiration for me. In order for me to create a story and make it into a novel, the plot line has to be super thick and there has to be something sturdy behind it. What I mean by that is, there has to be a strong message that follows the book or a lesson that the character learns. So, the inspiration of death could easily fit in here. Even though you are not to mix YOUR feelings up with the CHARACTERS feelings, I thought I could spill my feelings and looks on death into the book. It easily fits in with the plot line.
LB: So does somebody die?
Me: Yes, two people do, but it doesn't spoil anything. It's one of the first things you'll come to read in the beginning of book.
LB: Alright. So, what are you trying to convey in this novel?
Me: The way I try to convey the message is that the main character states, a few times in the book, that she sees people take life for granted. That really is the main thing. I would totally, go into more detail on this, but I would definitely have to give some spoilers.
LB: What is the genre for this book?
Me: Action and a little bit of Science Fiction, with a tint of Mystery.
LB: The theme for this book is meaning of death and life, right?
Me: No. The two themes I always play in my writings are either heroism or second chances.
LB: What else can you say about Cold Komodo?
Me: It's a superhero story.
LB: You said that you are going to be mainly going to be writing screenplays, now. What's gonna happen with Cold Komodo?
Me: Yes. I will be writing screenplays, but for the mean time until I am more educated about screenwriting, I have to write my stories in book form. I will eventually transform Cold Komodo into a screenplay, unless it is not necessary and somebody else decides to do that for me.
LB: Okay, so do you have a teaser or a sneak peak we could read for Cold Komodo?
