Description:
Frustrated
by the audacity of local villains, the sheriff of Marion County turns
to the mayor. Urban fiction set in a real city, The Double Life of
Tutweiler Buckhead takes some of the charm of vigilante comic book
heroism and mixes it with the nitty gritty of contemporary crime
fiction.
A
band of champions searches for the missing pieces in the evil plot of
a local drug kingpin in The Double Life of Tutweiler Buckhead: An
Adventure in Indianapolis.
Ideal
for those who love events of the outside world and the workings of
the mind – characters’ actions and thoughts are portrayed in this
contemporary novel – with just a touch of magic.
About
the Author:
Miriam
Pia has been writing for decades, including over ten years as a
professional. Most of her work was done without a byline and as a
ghostwriter. This is the author's first published novel.
Interview
Where are
you from? Originally, from Syracuse, NY,
USA. That covers my first 23 years. I lived in Indianapolis, Indiana for ten
years. I sent 5 years in England in
between living in the USA and Germany. I
have been dealing with a small farming village in North Germany for nearly 6
years now. I do intend to live in the
USA rather than in Germany most of the rest of my life, but I have reasons for
being Germany. (long story).

The
Baby Goes to College
I'm happy that my only child is now a college
student. He is a dual citizen of the USA
and of Germany and because of that I am very glad that he is fluent in both
English and German and that he has spent years of his life living in the USA
and years living in Germany. Mothering
him was one of my most important activities for the past 20 years.
Book
Tour Launched
This,
right here, taking this book on tour.
This is my first tour, and my first novel so this is very exciting for
me – even though it is supposed to be to please you (plural)! :)
Science
Fiction Novel in Production
My first
science fiction novel, a military science fiction novel starring a genetically
engineered young woman soldier of the Naav – if woman is the right word, and a
big mulatto from planet Earth (that guy Rock could be cast as this character in
a movie) named Kiel Bronson. How fate
brings them together and how they become the head of a mercenary order is a
wild story.
The
Children of Loki
is both the name of their mercenary order and the title of that novel. Release intended to be 2016, if delayed early
2017.
Short
Fiction Available Online
Short
fiction works under my own name and as Suzanne Larrison or Okrongli are up for
sale at Amazon and at a few other locations.
Juvenile
science fiction and fiction, intergenerational and adult comic science fiction.
I'm
excited about getting these items up where people can buy them. There's even a new paranormal vampyre romance
short fiction story available.
When and
why did you begin writing? Like most
people, I was a child in a school. I was
not given a choice.
When did
you first consider yourself a writer?
After I wrote an entire novel manuscript. Ironically, a remake of that novel is the one
scheduled to be released this year in 2016.
(long story)
What
inspired you to write your first book? I
wanted to see if I could. I had been an
avid reader for many years.
Do you
have a specific writing style? I hope
so. Read my work and comment, post,
discuss, tell me – do you recognize a clear and distinctive literary voice in
my work?
How did
you come up with the title?
The villain leads a double life. His surname really is named after a wealthy
neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia that I learned about while professionally writing
a real estate blog.
I wrote this novel only after a few years of
writing professionally.
Is there a
message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? Yes, of course but I won't tell you what it
is.
How much
of the book is realistic? 90 – 98%
Are
experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life? No. I
have a very wild imagination.
What books
have most influenced your life most? I
have read so many that I don't feel I can give a reasonable answer.
If you had
to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? Some lady now elderly, who's name I barely
noticed until after I read like her 12th novel...The lady who wrote
the Pern novels. Who is she? I don't know if I would say she was a mentor
of if I was just a big fan.
What book
are you reading now? More than one, but
dealing with reading some in German.
What's even weirder are the ones I am reading in German that were
translated out of my native language of English into German. I'm working towards becoming genuinely
bilingual. I sort of am now but only
sort of.
Are there
any new authors that have grasped your interest? Last time I picked novels I actually went by
whether or not they were my FB friends list novelists...except for one, and
that was science fiction. That is not
quite true, in that the one I got translated into German was not an FB friend
author's book.
What are
your current projects? I feel I
explained this in 'latest news'
What would
you like my readers to know? I am
delighted to be here. I hope you not
only all try my book, but also give me feedback and post honest reviews all
over the place. I feel as if I have been
waiting for ages to find out what others really think about this book.
Also, if
you try it and love it you can get other stuff by me.
Normally,
I am not a biter and right now, I will be as happy to hear from you as you are
from me. If there are 10 Million fans 5
years from now, then I might not react the same way if a reader contacts me. I'm sure you all understand and are probably
the same way.
