The Man With the Tool Belt by Stefan Angelina McElvain


Promote Me Please After Dark welcomes Stefan Angelina McElvain to talk about The Man with the Tool Belt. As usual, here come five curly questions…

Q.1. Is it a real tool belt or a metaphorical one?

A real tool belt

Q.2. Where did the kernel of the idea for this one come from?

My wife swears by the man. If an item stays on the honey-do list for a few weeks, she gets the man in.

Q.3. Please describe a supporting character from The Man with the Tool Belt

The man falls in love, but does she love him?
He first meets Roxy when the man is working his day-job, cleaning tables at a coffee shop. He thought she’s cute and gives her his card. He does a job for her, and they start dating, but she’s not ready to settle down with just one man.

Q.4. Do you write with a grin, a gentle smile, an earnest frown or in a manic panic?

All of the above. The best is the manic panic. I love it when the story takes over. I have no idea what’s going to happen, and I have to write to find out. I’m a big believer…writer’s block is the conflict between what the characters want to do and the author’s preconceived outline.

Q.5. What is your favourite go-to tool for DIY?

I love Scrivener, and I’m currently looking at the Amazon suite. The carrot of having a book in print without having to buy a few hundred copies is too good not to try out. Ask me again in a few months.

Project X by Cheryl Headford

Image
Today Promote Me Please After Dark welcomes Cheryl Headford and her brand new release Project X. Morgan Bentley is a bastard. Matthew knows this absolutely—until he doesn’t. Matthew and his friend Cory are thrilled to attend one of the most prestigious universities in the UK. On their pre-entry visit, they met Morgan Bentley and his stuck-up friends. Matthew takes an instant dislike to the arrogant, conceited, self-obsessed, beautiful, intelligent, and charismatic boy. Throughout the next year, Matthew harbours his dislike, never missing the opportunity to complain to his best friend, Cory, what a bastard Morgan is. Then, an unexpected turn of events catapults Matthew, Morgan, and Cory into a nightmare, and all the things Cory had said about Matthew’s true feelings about Morgan come crashing down on his head, and he realises that what he thought was hatred and anger was, in fact, growing attraction and begrudging admiration. But when the deadly nature of the elusive Project X...

Mack 'n' Me: Origins by C. M. SImpson

Image
Today C. M. Simpson is visiting Promote Me Please After Dark to answer five curious questions about her new book Mack 'N' "Me: Origins. Q.I. Mack ‘n’ Me: Origins . The title implies this might be the first of a series. Is this so? A.1. Yes. This is the first book in a new series. I’m currently working on Book 2, while compiling an anthology of short fiction set around these characters. The short fiction was where the idea spawned, but the novel takes me back to before when those stories were set. It came as a bit of a surprise, too, because it’s the story I’m writing now, that I thought I was writing, when I started Origins . However, the characters took a quick step to the left, and told me they had some stuff they wanted to do, first, so I followed them through the course of Origins , and I’m glad I did. Q.2. Describe Mack in five words A.2. Big, shrewd, commanding, manipulative, deceptive Q.3. Who is “me” in Mack ‘n’ Me ? A.3. “Me” is Jocelyn Cutter,...
