MEET MY CHARACTER
1.
Who are you?
o
What is your name?
·
Quinn MacCann
o
Are you a fictional or historical character?
·
I am a fictional female
drawn from the strength and moral fabric of so many pioneer women who braved
the frontier.
o
What should we know about you?
·
I am a
twenty-two-year-old woman born of Irish blood. I do not believe in true love,
but I married anyway only to find myself quickly widowed. Alone with nowhere to
go, I've snatched a "Women Wanted" flyer off the church bulletin
board and, in answer, I have used my last coins to hire a wagon to get there.
2.
Tell us about your story:
o
When and where is your tale set?
·
My story takes place in
the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. It is 1849 and the Gold Rush has
captured the attention of almost every man, worldwide.
o
What is your personal goal?
I mean, what do you ultimately want?
·
A woman should never be
wholly dependent upon a man—they are not dependable in the least, nor are they
trustworthy. It is my intention to become an independent businesswoman so that
I will never need to rely on another.
o
What is standing in your way?
What conflict(s) do you face?
·
Gold country is in dire
need of women, but the occupations are unbefitting me: Saloon girls, a schoolmarm,
wives for lonely men, and a cook.
·
A saloon girl, I am not. I do not possess the friendly nature
required, especially to men whom I have little use for anyway.
·
And although I am well educated having attended the Oregon
Institute, I am certainly no schoolmarm.
·
Being a wife again is clearly out of the question, and what I know
about cooking wouldn't fill a spoon. Oh, have I mentioned the rumor of food
poisoning that surrounds the death of my former husband? For now, I'm keeping
quiet on that matter.
3.
How do I get a copy of your book?
o
What is the title or working title for this piece?
·
The title is still
undecided, but for reference purposes is it ONE TRUTH.
o
Is it available now or when can we expect to see it released?
·
It is not available yet.
It is truly a Work-In-Progress (WIP) in its polishing stage. I am talking with
publishers, but it is not ready to submit at this time. Hopefully, it will be
on the market in 2019!
