So, my CP and friend, Leigh Covington posted a fun meme about her book today about her WIP. Then she asked everyone else to do it. Normally I don't do them because my brain never works to think of awesome answers, but I thought this one looked fun. :)
1. What is the name of
your book?
THE GAME (working title)
2. Where did the idea
for your book come from?
You know, I'm not really sure... I guess I watched Pirates of the Caribbean a few months ago and it sort of came from that...
3. In what genre would
you classify your book?
YA Time Travel
4. If you had to pick
actors to play your characters in a movie rendition, who would you choose?
Captain Raine: Penn Badgley
Emmy: Ellen Page
Ty: Austin Butler
5. Give us a
one-sentence synopsis of your book.
Six teens are thrown into a dangerous game of time travel to find a magical artifact, and the one who finds it is the only one who can return home.
(That was a little lame, but hey, I only had two seconds to think of it...)
6. Is your book already
published/represented?
Nope. Writing the first draft right now. :)
7. How long did it take
you to write your book?
I'm hoping I'll be ready to query by the end of this year.
8. What other books
within your genre would you compare it to? Or, readers of which books would
enjoy yours?
Uh ... I have no idea. If you like pirates you might like it. ;)
9. Which authors
inspired you to write this book?
I wanted to write something different than my usual paranormal and contemporary fantasy. So, this was the result. I don't know of any authors that inspired me for this particular book, but maybe I'll think of one later.
10. Tell us anything that
might pique our interest in your book.
Time travel, nasty pirates, a handsome privateer and a race to get home? Is that good enough? I can't think of another way to explain it! Ha ha!
If anyone wants to do this, let me know! I'd love to see what you're working on! Or you can just leave it in the comments. :)

This sounds intriguing! Hope it turns out as good on the page as it is in your head (I'm really hoping I'm not the only one with that issue).
I like the sound of that! I'd defintely pick it up.
Sounds different and interesting. And fun to write.
Sounds intriguing.
Super cool. I think I'll try it next week.
Sounds like a fun story!!! Good luck getting it written. I'm a fan of pirates, so I'd definitely read it. :)
This does sound interesting! Good luck with the writing.
I'll probably do this sometime in July. I need some fun things to fill in my crazy summer.
Thanks for passing along a great idea!
Your WIP sounds super fun!!
That has to be such a fun book to write! I heart pirates. :)
Time travelling and pirates! What a fun combination! I've been watching Pirates of the Caribbean every day, practically, and have decided the world could use more pirate stories. There aren't a whole lot out there, that I'm aware of!
Ooo, I LOVE the idea of this! Thanks for sharing with us!
This sounds great Chantele. Good luck with it!
I've always liked pirates. Wait, no. I've always liked Will Turner. ;) Really though, your novel sounds awesome! Good luck. :D
I'm a firm believer in wanting more books with pirates. :)
Oh man, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but this seriously sounds so fun! I hope I get to read it someday :)
This sounds good -n- all but...
Chantele, you're KILLING ME!
How much longer till the cover reveal?!?!
Can't...last...much.......longer....
Your book sounds like it's going to rock! Seriously, it sounds really intriguing and I hope your drafting goes well!
Gosh, I really hope I get to finish this one. ;) ;) But seriously, how awesome is your new look on this blog here?!!!!
This book sounds awesome. Definitely not the typical fare. PLEASE try to finish.
Oooh, YA time travel. I'm working on an MG time travel. Isn't time travel the best?!
This is an awesome idea. Also, I like the questions...may have to snag this and post my own blog about my WIP, too :)
