and http://www.etreasurespublishing.com/gabriel-madison/three-seeds.htm I started writing poetry and short stories back in high school. I fell in
love with filmmaking and learned how to write screenplays. While in art school,
I developed an affinity for novels and novellas. I focused completely on writing
novels, and hung up my filmmaker hat for good. I have three that's tied for first place, and one of them is a
musician, not an author. First is Anne Rice. I love the way she tells a story.
Her writing is easy to follow, yet extremely clever and filled with metaphors.
The first fifty pages of Memnoch the Devil is brilliant. You have a gangster
that thinks he's invincible, being stalked by a vampire that thinks he's
invincible, being stalked by the devil. It was really cool how she pulled that
off. Next on my list is Nancy Holder. Her book Heat changed the way I perceived
scenery and weather. A lot of writers try to use as little description as they
can when telling a story, and I thought that was the way to go, until I read
Heat. I loved the way she made you feel the hot weather wrapping itself around
you as you flipped from page to page. Last is actually John Lennon. I love the
wit, cynicism and hidden honesty of his lyrics. Other artists. Mostly music, but TV shows and lately youtube videos.
Seriously, I’ll watch a fan video about something they love, and the need to
create builds inside of me. Like now, I’m normally not into writing romance, but
I know it’s needed in stories so I put it in them. But I’ve seen a few fan
videos on youtube about this couple from a TV show called Skins that has me
itching to tell a love story. Well, I like to say it’s about destiny. It’s about whether we choose our on
destiny, or if it’s chosen for us. That’s what I believe my main character’s
journey is about. Rose, my main character, had spent the last three years of her
life living in a small town trying to remember something about her past. She’d
awoken in a hospital with no memory of who she was or how she got there. All she
had was the story the nurse and the guy who claimed to have saved her from a car
accident told her. So, her world gets turned upside down when five men show up
at her place and attacks her. David, the guy who claimed to have saved her from
the car accident, rescues Rose and talks her into going on the run with him.
During this time a strange snowstorm is slowly covering the world. There are
those that believe Rose and the snowstorm are connected, and want to use or kill
her because of it. So David has to protect Rose from supernatural creatures that
resemble humans and a secret government that has existed since the time of
Augustus Caesar, while trying to keep from her the fact that she isn’t human.
Actually, she’s one of a kind, the only person to be born with all three
bloodlines of mystical beings known as Seeds. You see, a Seed being born with
all three bloodlines is like a human being born with three different souls. No
one knows what Rose’s existence means. To continue to write in the world I created for Three Seeds, and have more
people fall in love with it. I went to a convention recently, and saw Sherrilyn
Kenyon. The way her fans responded to her work, seemed more like people talking
about real people instead of made up characters. I want that. I want to keep
creating until a room full of people gets into heated or playful debates about
my characters as if they were real. In front of my computer writing or
watching youtube videos. I can’t choose between a vampire and a Jedi. So how about a vampire
Jedi! The Beatles 1967-1970 album. Zombies freak me out! |
