I’m so pleased to be with L. Marie today as she graciously gives me the opportunity to visit and discuss Eternal Road – The final stop. She asks some very good questions and I appreciate the opportunity to provide the answers. Thank you again, L. Marie. It is a real pleasure.
Today on the blog I’m happy to have the one and only John Howell here to talk about his latest novel, Eternal Road. It was published on August 23. Go here to read a synopsis of the book. Now, give it up for John!
John: Thank you so much for having me on your blog today, Linda. I certainly appreciate being here with you.
El Space: My pleasure, John. Four quick facts about yourself?
John: 1. I write every day.
2. I’ll be 80 years old in the spring.
3. I am a pantster and do not outline my work.
4. When I begin a novel, I write the last three lines and then go back and write to that conclusion.
El Space: Groovy! What inspired you to write this book? I can’t help thinking of a film from 1978 called Heaven Can Wait. The premise of that film…

Before getting into the tips, let’s set the stage. You are launching a new book, and you get a call from someone wanting to know if you would like to do a video interview. Does your heart freeze?

There is no need for any of these feelings if you remember the tips I’m going to share.

The Mermaid and the Bear by Ailish Sinclair
I finished this book a few days ago and it’s stuck with me. I didn’t realize until I’d reached the end that it’s historical fiction based loosely on real women in 16th century Scotland when witches were rounded up, tortured, and murdered. Somehow it was easier to read when I thought it was pure fiction. After getting to know the characters, the author might as well have stabbed me in the heart.
The whole book is beautifully written…

“Man, this is like pea soup.”
“Are you sure we should be continuing to be on the road?”
“Oh, my goodness, yes. We are perfectly safe. I have the auto-drive set. It will warn us of any approaching traffic.”
“It’s not the traffic that worries me so much.”
“What is it then?”
“The curves that bypass a forest.”
“Don’t worry, the auto-drive can detect those as well.”
“It must be a miracle invention.”
“Thank you.”
“What?”
“It is my invention.”
“Your invention?”
“Yes, this is the first prototype, and as you can see, it is functioning beautifully.”
“You. mean you and I are guinea pigs for this thing?”
“Harsh words, but yes.”
“What’s that noise?”
“It is a Klaxton horn announcing we are approaching traffic.”
“I see the car. Shouldn’t we pull over?”
“No, you see, the car is ahead of us.”
“Why is he getting bigger? He seems to be heading right for us.”
“Very strange. It looks like he is in the wrong lane.”
“In the UK, he is in the right lane.”
“Oops.”
“What do you mean ‘oops?'”
“I forgot we moved to England. I set the auto-drive for France. How in the heck did I do that?”
“Never mind that. Time to get over.”
“I need to disengage the auto-drive.”
“Try the steering wheel.”
“Brillant. We missed him.”
“Now find a rest stop.”
