I love watching Jenna Moreci’s hilarious writing videos. #TheNaughtyList looks like fun, so I thought I’d play along with my Lupercalia books since the characters all cross over.
My intro description: The Lupercalia books follow a large group of LGBT friends and lovers through a sexy world of preternatural beings. Sex, blood, and magic are the calling cards of our stories centered on a gay strip club in Lupercalia, Nevada. Come for a visit, stay for a bite; we’ll keep you up all night!
THE RULES:
1) Provide a brief description of your novel before beginning. NO MORE THAN 5 SENTENCES.
2) If your cast is fewer than 15 characters, you can’t use the same name more than twice. If your cast is larger than 15 characters, you can’t use the same name more than once.
THE QUESTIONS:
#1 Which character is SO into the holidays, they nearly cause a street-wide power outage from all their Christmas lights? Laney, because it’s a Christmas rave!
#2 Which character attends the office new years party with ONE date…and goes home with someone else? Kolya, because he can.
#3 Which character is more than happy to steal Hanukkah gelt from poor, unsuspecting children? [Note: Hanukkah gelt = chocolate coins] Marco, if he’d steal a Genomo then chocolate is NBD.
