version: tell us about your book in 140 characters or less.
Opening a
vortex sucks! In ENTANGLEMENTS, Kizzy Taylor must enter an evil alt. dimension
to save her stepsister, but will she ever get home?
--How did you get the idea for the story?
The idea for
the plot came largely from the quantum mechanics theory of entanglements.
Scientists have found that a particle may be tweaked and second particle will
react even though it may be miles away from the first and even though there is
no discernable connection between the two. It's theorized that the connection
exists in an alternate dimension of which it is believed there are at least
seven. I began to wonder whether people could also be connected through
alternate dimensions.
I live in
Savannah, Georgia, which is known for being the most haunted city in America.
However, it is not as widely known that there are many alleged vortexes in
Savannah. When I combined this with the quantum mechanics theory, the plot was
born.
--Which character
would you most/least like to have dinner with? I would definitely like to have
dinner with the villain, Prince Leopold. Being the son of Britain's Queen
Victoria, in an alternate universe of course, he has many a story to tell.
--What are some of your favorite books? Do you still have much time to read?
I love to read.
Right now I'm exploring the Steampunk genre.
--Do you have
any other works in progress? Any teasers or release dates?
My work in
progress is a sequel to Entanglements, which I plan to release in January of
2012, entitled RESISTANCE. It tells the story of a young female resistance
fighter who, along with her warlock/vampire love, must defeat an army of soul
sucking golems.
--If a fairy godmother told you your life could be
like a favorite book for 24 hours, which book would you pick and why?
--Do you need anything to write (music, coffee, etc)?
My daily
writing routine usually begins in a local coffee shop. If I can get out of the
house and away from the temptation to sit and read (or do household
chores...although that's more like a nagging impulse rather than a temptation),
I find it much easier to concentrate on the story I'm writing.
Are there any
songs on your playlist- songs that inspired you or that
were playing while you wrote?
Right now, I'm
very inspired by the Florence + the Machine album, Lungs. I particularly love
Cosmic Love and Heavy In Your Arms. When
I was writing Entanglements, I was listening to Muse (Map of the Problematic
and Uprising are particular favorites). Also, pretty much anything by Vast is
wonderful.
--If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
Invisibility. I
think it would be fantastic to be invisible and thus be able to gain access to
any place I wished and observe anyone I wished.
--Besides writing, what do you like to do in your free time?
I love to spend
time chatting with friends in a coffee shop or reading as I sit on the sofa
with my two cats cuddled around me.
--Is there anything else you want to add or say to your readers?
I love to hear
from readers. They can email me at contact@prmason.net or follow me on @prmason
on Twitter.
Lightning
round: this or that?
Vanilla or chocolate? Chocolate
Edward or Jacob? Neither. But if I
have to choose I'll take Jacob
