Let's Talk: Character Connectivity (Reversal Blog Tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! It's fast and furious in Interludes. Can you believe it is already Day 3 of the Reversal blog tour? Where has the time gone? If only we could reverse it 😄. I think that's my cue to exit. Don't worry. I won't quit my writing career to pursue comedy. Once again, here's Y! Main Character Connectivity: Albert, Celestine, and Trudy I’ve never been the type of writer to sit inside a mold of any kind. I’ve always written in a way that blurs genres, lines, and character makeup. In a typical story the two main characters—Albert and Celestine—would either be related or have some sort of romantic connection, whether it was reciprocated or not. I, however, believe that in real life that isn’t always the case. In real life, things aren’t just black and white. Thus, when mimicking real life via its fictional mirror, it’s important to stay true to certain elements. Blurred lines is one of them. I was asked, “Why aren’t Albert and Celestine an item?” The an...

Let's Talk: Setting and Location (Reversal Blog Tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to Day 2 of Y. Correa's Reversal blog tour. Today, she takes over Interludes once more to speak on how setting and location can be its own character. When the location and setting is also a character Yup, you heard me right. Today I am going to talk about how the location and setting of “Reversal” is also a character in the story. Or at least, that’s how I see it. Open your mind and let me take you on a trip into the impossible. Over one hundred years from now a society exists that is living in a reversed reality. This is not a dystopian future, but the future thereafter. It’s a time when humanity has rebuilt the devastation that destroyed reality as humanity knew it. But, in this time, everything is old, because old is new. Picture being so far into the future that people are living in a replica of the past. A 1950s replica to be exact. Underneath all of the vintage allure of this world, one can still find the rubble of a world that once was. Things...

Let's Talk: Behind The Scenes (Reversal Blog Tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! It has been quite busy on Interludes for the past few months. First, with my Husband of Erotic Literature and I releasing Simmer: Sensual and Spicy . Then, with the release of the final book of Concordant Vibrancy . But ... just when I thought things couldn't get any more jam-packed, one of my fellow authors is coming out with a new release! Okay, I am just kidding. But seriously, it does feel like a lot right? Anyway, enough of my rambling. I'm going to indulge in a spa vacation while Author Y. Correa takes over to speak about her newest release Reversal . What was the inspiration behind the Reversal concept? Coincidence or destiny? That’s the question I ask myself when it comes to the birth of “Reversal”. To this day, I honestly don’t know which one it was. But after having completed the story, I’ve come to believe that I was meant to write it all along. So, perhaps it was destiny. I guess, like with all stories, we should start at the beginning …. One...

Let's Talk: Synergy (Day 9 of Concordant Vibrancy book Tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! We are at the final stretch of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Today, co-creator Y. Correa is in the spotlight as she speaks on Synergy and why it is vital to one's survival. Coming full circle … that was the most predominant feeling I got from the completion of “Concordant Vibrancy 5: Extancy.” I feel like I have so much to say but I am finding it difficult to express. The “Concordant Vibrancy” project was, in retrospect, executed with expediency. At the time it was being created things felt eternal, now that we’ve come to the end of the road, the time invested feels minute. I am certain of one thing, however, the shelflife of this collection will be perpetual. The words encrypted within its pages, historic. This is something that could not have been done without the participants. It was their skills, their wordsmithing, that led to the footprints made by Concordant Vibrancy. I will never, ever, forget how much this project meant to me. Now to answer som...

Let's Talk: Evolution (Day 8 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! This is Day 8 of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Today, Queen of Spades stops by to discuss how Evolution plays a part in survival. Greetings everyone. My name is Monica, professionally known in the writing community as Queen of Spades. On Day One of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour, you received an inside look at the think scape that prompted the project. Today, I am speaking as a contributor to the collection as I answer the following questions. What prompted you to be a part of the Concordant Vibrancy concept? For one, it would look a bit strange that the co-creator of  Concordant Vibrancy wouldn’t be a part of the undertaking. Moreover, I was curious as to what my imagination would conjure as answers to each theme question. Which Concordant Vibrancy books are you featured in? I am featured in all of the books.  Unity: “The Authentic Snap” Vitality: “Operation Restore” Lustrate: “Threes” Inferno: “The Calefaction of Insight” Extancy: “The Itine...

Let's Talk: Optimism (Day 7 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
  Hello Awesome Visitors! I hope you are enjoying the Concordant Vibrancy book tour so far. On Day 7, we are going to talk Optimism! I know that may be a difficult concept to grasp, considering everything that is occurring in the world today. For the majority, the word “sucks” can apply to the year 2020. Like, seriously, can we get a redo? But …  there are some things I’d like to stay intact. I had the opportunity to work with Adonis Mann once again, and just like that, Simmer: Sensual & Spicy was created. It was all very impromptu, and yes, I am to blame for that one. But one has to strike while the iron’s hot. Otherwise, poof, the idea will be gone. I am still high off the excitement of that release, which was back in December. Another caveat that I’d like to keep intact was the opportunity to work with such fantastic minds for the final book in “Concordant Vibrancy”. I was unsure exactly where I was going to start or how I was going to go about it, but I did know that ...

Let's Talk: Unity (Day 6 of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome back! It is Day 6 of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Today, no other than my Hot Hubby in Literature, Adonis Mann, is center stage as he speaks on his participation in Concordant Vibrancy . Adonis, take it away! The Concordant Vibrancy Collection holds an exceptionally important space in my heart. Through this channel, Adonis Mann, the author was born. I will be eternally grateful for the doors it’s opened up for me. My story of joining the Concordant Vibrancy project is an interesting one. In 2014 I just recently signed my contract to become an All Authors Publishing House author. I was, as yet, inexperienced in the field and knew very little about anything other than I was now being represented by All Authors and I would have to complete the book I was working on very soon. One day I received an email asking if I would be interested in participating in the anthology project. I was delighted but there was one big issue … I wasn’t published yet. Bein...

Let's Talk: Felicity (Day 5 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to a special "Let's Talk Thursday". In case you were unaware, All Authors is in the midst of the "Concordant Vibrancy" book tour. Today's spotlight is on Da'Kharta Rising. She discusses her involvement in "Concordant Vibrancy" and shares an excerpt from her story "The Unmasking". What’s happening everyone? The Slightly Antisocial Socialite, also known as Da’Kharta Rising, here to talk about all things associated with Concordant Vibrancy . What prompted you to be a part of the Concordant Vibrancy concept? No lie. At first, it was all about the exposure. When I made my writing debut, I didn’t have too much under my belt, apart from a couple of free independent short stories: “Vocal Remedy” and “Simi’s Komma” (which later became extended into S.K.A.R.). Also, I was one-third of “The Collective”, so there were those three stories. As time went on, I became more invested in the theme questions and really tra...

Let's Talk: Awareness (Day 2 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to Day 2 of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Today the 1st of the participants, C. Desert Rose, stops by to discuss how awareness plays a role in one's survival. C. Desert Rose, take it away! I know you're there! 😁 I’m just kidding! Hello, everyone. C. Desert Rose here; just stopping by to say hello and share the 411 on my “Concordant Vibrancy” adventure throughout the year. Going into this blog tour I was asked these questions. What prompted you to be a part of the Concordant Vibrancy concept? Which Concordant Vibrancy books are you featured in? Why did you choose a certain attribute as your answer to CV5's theme question? Honestly, where do I begin? How can one fully encompass and quantify the value of the above questions without potentially leaving something out? It seems difficult but I will do my best. I’m going to try to answer all of these questions at once, albeit, potentially not in order. I, gratefully, have been in all of the Co...

The Roots (Day 1 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Before the participants of Extacy showcase their contributions, co-creators of the concept Y. Correa and Queen of Spades thought it was important to give a backstage pass. So ... what are we waiting for? (shrugs) Let's get to it!

Let's Talk "Empathy" (Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno Blog Tour)

Image
Hello Awesome Visitors! I am very glad you could join us on the  Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno  tour. It is an honor to be featured in a collection with such wonderful talents and that you have a chance to learn about their craft and their stories in this anthology. On the final leg of this blog tour, the multi-talented Queen of Spades takes the floor to discuss "The Calefaction of Insight". The Kindling The creation of my submission for Inferno stemmed from an unusual place. Unusual in that I was working on a different story for this project. While working on the original story, an event occurred that I concluded only took place in the thick of my poetry writing—I lost the frequency that the story coasted on. In order to better understand this, I must give a glimpse between what my approach to writing poetry is like versus essays and story writing. When I write poetry, it’s an unplanned thing. It’s uncaring of the time of day or what ...
