For More Information
It’s a pleasure to have you here today, Sophie. Can you tell
us what your new book is about?
It's the story of a woman who is more than one woman, each
of her alternate personalities having different behaviors and living lives of
their own. How this happened to occur will eventually be revealed as the story
progresses with the help of a handsome young psychiatrist.
Can you tell us a little about your main and supporting
characters?
Katrina is what psychologists term the host personality, the
original person holding all the others together, and I'd consider her the main
character. She's introverted and cautious, not very approachable when it comes
to intimate relationships, and she is typically sensible and pragmatic. Then
there's Cherry, a reckless adventuress and nymphomaniac getting into all sorts
of sexy situations. The third person, Anisa, is a dark, calculating,
cold-hearted black ops government agent.
Your book is not set in any specific location. Can you tell us why?
The story intentionally lacks any specific geographical
setting. It could be anywhere, or nowhere. I thought that such obscurity would
add an element of surrealism.
Open the book to page 69.
What is happening?
Good choice for a page number, considering Girl Within
Girl is a work of dark erotica. Depending on the format you have, page 69
is the start of chapter 13, when Katrina wakes up in her apartment dressed in
clothes that are not her own. She also remembers finding other things in her
apartment that do not belong to her, and realizes she has multiple
personalities.
What has been the most pivotal point of your writing life?
Gee, I don't think I arrived there yet.
What kind of advice would you give other fiction authors?
That's a tough question. This is my first book. I'm the one
who should be asking for advice. But I'll say one thing: write for the sake of
it, and have fun doing it. Keep in mind though, marketing is a pain in the ass!
