AJ Williams' BOUNTY FOR LOVE (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Today I would like to welcome AJ Williams, joining us with her recent release and third book in the Bounty Series - Bounty For Love!

Storytelling

What is the art of storytelling? Is it the way we love the story? Is it the fact that we know the beginning, middle and end? Are the characters and their adventures what we crave the most?

Several things go into storytelling. The main thing is to have an interesting story. I mean really, who want to read a boring story. Are there times when we get to a point in the book and we are screaming for the book to move forward? SURE...  I won't lie I have been there times myself. The key is to find who you want to read your books. Zero in on that audience.

Okay next is that you have to make sure that your story flows like a regular conversation. Often at time, we read something and like wow that could so happen in real life. Drawing from real conversations helps to bring the author and the reader closer.

With any story, it is important that each character have an individual voice. A female character and a male character should not talk the same. Nor should they have the same mannerism. Sure, there are things that we might say similar to our male and female counterparts, but as individuals, we turn that similarity and make it our own.
I can tell you I say dork a lot different than my husband does.  LOL

The key to remember I feel is that no matter the story from the beginning, middle or end, or the characters themselves. The key in the story is your love of either writing or reading about what happens next.

Wen has been in love with her neighbor, Thomas, for the last six months. Yet, with his schedule and her inability to welcome a new relationship, Wen is certain that her love will stay hidden.

Tess Michaels only wanted her brother’s safety; she did not realize that she too would be placed in danger. Yet, the danger that is following her is not the only threat she faces. When she learns the truth of who her son’s father is, not only will her life change, but so will her child’s.
Once the truth comes out, there is no going back for Alek or Tess. What’s worse is that their ever-growing attraction is a distraction that neither of them need. Can Tess and Alek work together, or will danger and secrets tear them apart forever?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

AJ Wiliams lives in Kansas City Missouri with her husband and two children, and their faithful dog. She grew up in Arizona and at the age of eight, her mother brought her to Missouri to be close to family. As an only child, AJ had to learn how to entertain herself. Writing was an escape from an isolated life she led as the only child with her parents. Living in a small town also proved to create lots of stories. Like most small towns, everyone knew everyone.
As she grew older, her grandparents played a large role in her writing life. By the age of thirteen, she had written several poems about her family and about growing up. Reading and music also became an outlet for her.
AJ loves listening to everything from the classics of Mozart to System of a Down to even Indie music such as Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine. That love of music has continued on, influencing her and the stories she likes to write.
