Now for my "Next Big Thing"
What is the working title of your book?
The Secret Door
Where did the idea come from for the book?
This is book 4 in the Budapest Moon series and it was born out of book 3. In book 3, Zoltan Kristos is the "bad" guy. He's a werewolf intent on making Morgan Duma his, but she doesn't want him. Zoltan does some questionable things - including turning Morgan into a werewolf herself. I wanted to tell Zoltan's story in book 4 and go about redeaming him.
What genre does your book fall under?
This is a paranormal romance with werewolves and witches.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
