Interview with Cohen (Silhouette)!

Me:

I haven't done a character interview in a long time but since Beautiful People has ended for the time being I thought I'd bring it back ... because I miss talking about my characters. XD Thank you to everyone who asked questions! This really helps me develop characters. *sitting in a chair Tonight Show-style, turns to Cohen who's sitting in the chair next to me* Hey, Cohen.

Cohen:
Hello.

Me:
Ready to get started? You've got a lot of questions.

Cohen:
Yes, it'll be a good break.

Questions for Cohen (Silhouette)!

Since Beautiful People has ended for the time being I thought I'd try reviving character interviews on the blog so I can talk about my books a little bit. This is Cohen Makovsky and he's the main character of my Adult Science-Fiction novel Silhouette. He had his own Beautiful People, but I need to get to know him even more. XD Let me tell you a bit about him. 

Cohen is a twenty-five-year-old convict from the planet Copec, but he's currently imprisoned on the volcanic planet of Valdura and furthermore, he's trapped inside a clay replica of himself as further punishment. He longs for the day the appraisers come and he has a chance to serve the rest of his sentence on a different brighter planet. 

Cohen was raised on an apiary in Copec with his mother and sister. He had a very poor upbringing and always dreamed of bringing a better life for his family. After receiving a scholarship, he went to university and gained a degree in mathematics and worked as an accountment before he got wrapped up in illegal financial dealings.

Besides his ambitions, he loves astronomy and one of the things he misses the most on Valdura is the inability to see the stars because of the planet's clouded toxic atmosphere. His best friend Osment helps him keep hope as each day grows closer to when he can leave Valdura and make his family proud of him again.

Leave your questions in the comments or in the form if you'd wish to remain anonymous or if you're having trouble with the comments. Cohen will answer them on June 29th! Thank you! 

The Comp Title Challenge

A couple weeks ago I saw Tracey @ Adventure Awaits do this tag on her blog and I knew I had to steal do it! I've done a lot of comparative titles for book proposals, but now I'm doing it for fun and it could be helpful later. XD

Beautiful Books 2017 ~ Introduce Your Novel: Silhouette

NaNoWriMo approaches so it's that time of year again! Time for Beautiful Books! This is a link-up hosted by Paper Fury and Further Up and Further in! Instead of the usual character focus, this time it's about your whole book in preparation for NaNo! I've been participating in it for the last three years with Red Hood (Post #1, #2, and #3), Subsapien: Hybrid (Post #1, #2, and #3), and Starbloods (Post #1 and #2). It's been great fun! If you'd like to participate, head on over to Paper Fury or Further Up and Further In!

Beautiful People #27: Cohen (Silhouette)

It's time for this month's Beautiful People! Yay! This is a link-up hosted by Paperfury and Further Up and Further Inwhere you answer questions about your characters. I participated in Beautiful People for the last three years every month. Pretty crazy. XD This link-up has been just so helpful with character development. 

Cohen is a new character I'm developing for my NaNo novel Silhouette. This BP fits perfect for him. His story is adult science-fiction (Writing an adult fiction. Scary. XD) and he comes from a 1900s tech trio of planets connected by space elevators and he's currently in a mining colony as is his sentence. The planet is unsuitable for humans so him and his other inmates have had their souls transferred into special ceramic bodies to survive the conditions. If you'd like to participate in this link-up yourself, check out either Paperfury or Further Up and Further In to see how. Here we go!
