The Children of Clay
Book 2
Bridget
Blade is both a god with an insatiable desire for love and adoration
and a human plagued by insecurities, fears, and anxieties. Unaware of
her true divinity she longs for the kind of love and a happy family
she's never had. Her husband, Jeremy, though, seems more interested
in turning her into a research project that he can
commercialize.
When Bridget
discovers her new abilities she revels in the discovery that she is a
god. But her new powers attract unwanted attention and Bridget must
fight for her independence and survival.
But
when survival means giving up the adoration she craves Bridgett must
confront the desires that drive her. Does she want freedom or does
she want adoration? She can have one or the other, but not both.

Do you have a
favorite movie? which of your novels can you imagine made into
a movie?
Favorite movie would be Ben Hur, the original one. My
favorite line, “We keep you alive to serve this ship, so row well and live.”
After that, I’m a big fan of a film called The Hunter
with Willem Dafoe. I love The Chronicles of Riddick with Vin Disel. I think it
is a film that is vastly underrated and on my blog I’m slowly teasing out some
of the beautiful elements of that film. The Visitor is a great one to watch.
Amazing Grace about William Wilberforce is also a favorite. Glory with Denzel
Washington and Morgan Freeman is one that I can watch over and over again.
There’s a scene before they storm the fort which Matthew Broderick’s character
looks over the water and watches a flock of birds fly graceful over the calm
waves capturing this wonderful moment of zen before marching into the hell of
war. I’m embarrassed to say, but I love the Small Soldiers. It does a great job
of raising question about artificial intelligence, the moral obligations with
regard to sentience, and the dangers of commodifying things like war.
Every writer sees their book as a movie. If it ever does
happen for me, I’ll eat a hot pepper and horseradish wrapped in cheddar cheese
while singing “Let it Go.” My writing style is more visual so I run through
scenes in my head visually but I try to be careful not to write screenplays.
