Today
on my blog I put Aaron Speca under the microscope.
Aaron's
books are available from numerous outlets, links below.
AW Hello Aaron and thank you for agreeing to be quizzed about
your writing. So, what sparked your first foray into fiction?
AS In
2010, my wife and her friends convinced me to join an online role-play writing
group. This has been a surprisingly fun
diversion and it what got me interested in creative writing in the first
place. This is where I learned about
character and plot building. It’s
almost like an improv version of writing with a large group of writers.
AW From your books do you have
a favourite character? And if so, why?
AS My favourite character is the first one I ever
wrote, who became the main male character of the two short stories I wrote with
Patricia Laffoon. Rudy is damaged but
noble, completely devoted to his love Trish, sarcastic yet caring. Hopefully
soon you will hear more about these characters in novel form.
AW Writing alone or writing
with others – which would you say is best?
AS I actually prefer writing with others, because of how I got
started. All my works so far have been
with partners. I think it gives another
perspective built into the story and I really enjoy the collaborative
process. Plus, in the publishing world,
it helps me at least to feel like I am not in this adventure alone.
AW And your latest book is…
AS “Progeny of Sin: Dark Dreams” by Dawn Treadway and Aaron
Speca was released in August 2015. It
is a paranormal adventure romance set in the present day. Here is the blurb and links …
The Devil wants his due … The Daemon wants his out … and Jade just
wants it all to be over. You don't always get what you want.
Jade Shear is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary ability
that’s literally about to send her to Hell. When Daemons discover Jade’s power
to read and manipulate others true feelings, they force her to assist with the
rescue of their sibling; thrusting her from her everyday normality deep into
the Underworld with the tall, dark and deliciously demonic Nias Hu’dor assigned
as her guide.
All Nias wants is to live out his life without being involved with
anyone else. No more emotion, no more connections, especially to pain in the
ass humans. But when he sees Jade twisting a long curl of her wild red hair,
and showing off the most amazing backside he’s ever been privy to; Nias just
knew he was staring at a world of trouble. How could his family have enlisted
him to obtain this girl's help to traverse Sheol?
This dark paranormal romance takes you from Jade’s everyday
existence into the world of the Djinn Sentry; an army of demonic solders
determined to protect the human race; and then plummets you straight down into
the seething malevolent Underworld where a multi-levelled caste system of
Shaitan and the Devil himself welcome you.
AW If you had the opportunity
to spend an afternoon with any fictional character, who would it be and what
would you discuss?
AS
What an amazingly difficult question to answer. Being a techno and comic book geek, I might pick someone like Tony Stark and get him to show me around his lab! It wold undoubtedly be a fun afternoon!
