May 14, 2012

"Author shares about abuse, witnessing the unimaginable and the hope found in Christ"

Author Antionette Campbell releases From a Legend and Kingdom of Darkness into Poems of Hope. Surviving a horrific family tragedy, Antionette Campbell, witnessed the unimaginable. As a young child her life was filled with abuse, then at the age of 11 she witnessed her enraged drunken father assault her mother with a knife. As she watched her mother’s lifeless body, it was a miracle that she was not killed. As a result, her siblings and her were taken away into custody and Antionette was forced to testify against her own father.

This event and the history of abuse sent Antionette into a pit of despair that entrapped her most of her young life. She offers her heart and soul through this journey that became the poems of hope as she triumphantly declares that God has turned her tragedy into triumph. Author Antionette Campbell offers hope to the hopeless and reaches out to those who are broken and spiritually bankrupt. This illumination of her book continues to give those who read it life and hope in God.

Antionette Campbell has a unique writing style that boldly proclaims the absolute healing power found in Christ. As the author states, “It doesn't matter who you are, how deep you have fallen into despair or how tight the chains of bondage are around you, God's power can set you free!” The author speaks of being transformed from the inside out and into a wonderful new journey. There is healing and new life that's only found in Christ.

Creating Characters

 

I’m often asked how I create my characters. At last count I have somewhat in the neighborhood of seventy-five to eighty relatively strong characters. By strong, I mean these characters actually have back stories and personalities that come across on the page. Some are absolutely terrifying, like Cody Larson in FROSTPROOF and Tommy Fielding in DEGENERATES. Some are adventurous, like Tim Madison in SILENT INVASION, and Jamie Richards in DREAM TRAVELER, and some are tragic, yet beautiful, like Nathan Cruz and Miriam Kanter in DROP OUT. All of my characters have one thing in common. They are not modeled after any single person. You see, my characters are a conglomeration of people I’ve known and associated with over the course of my life. I can’t say that one certain character has more of someone than another character. This always seems to perplex my friends and associates who often tell me this or that character is just like them. It seams most people are hoping their personality will be immortalized in story form. I’ve even had an old girlfriend get angry with me because she thought the character Astor in DEGENERATES was too much like her. I had to assure her that Astor was NOT based on her, but on at least eight different people, most of whom I went to college with. When I write I transform and become my characters. I become the clairvoyant prostitute in PULP and the daring young man fighting an alien insect invasion in INSECTLAND. I immerse myself in that world and create the fantasy. It would be hard for me to pretend to be someone I know, if that makes any sense.

Read about the parallel between a true story (although I didn't know about it until a few days ago) and my recently published mystery novel, Mixed Messages. Truly eerie! http://ning.it/n0myM1

Promo machine!

 

My Kindle ebook of the week sponsorship for the kid’s corner has begun. Sales are slow however, I’m guessing because of the Easter holiday. Perhaps, they will pick up more when my author spotlight interview comes out. That’s right, I was chosen for author spotlight on Kindle Nation Daily. This is a great FREE promotion offered by Kindle for me. They will post an interview, a picture of my book SILENT INVASION, links to buy the book, and links to my blog, all for nothing. They claim the spotlight will reach more than 70,000 opt-in readers. As you can imagine, I’m very happy about that. The author spotlight will be on the site either tomorrow night or Wednesday. I’ll post it. Also, I continue to reap sales of DROP OUT from my Kindle Fire Department sponsorship and I’ve begun to show some numbers off of the select lending program for my other books. I’m almost halfway to my sales goals for the month. One other plus, most of my books on the ninety-day Kindle exclusiveness are nearly up. That means I can re-publish with Smashwords and sell to the Nook again, possibly doubling my audience. I’ll probably find a few sponsorships for the Nook and I’m dying to start getting involved in the Nook forums and discussion groups. On a slight downer-side, my sales in the U.K have dropped off significantly. By my own admission, I haven’t been paying much attention to the overseas market and it obviously shows. I’m off to the Florida Keys soon to do some serious marketing and writing. Hopefully, warm, salty breezes, the cries of wayward seagulls, and the gentle rustling of palm fronds will conjure weird tales from my IMAGINATION (first draft nearly complete).

I'm just joining this discussion group.  I recently publshed my first novel, FALL EAGLE ONE, on both Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace.  It relates the tale of a Luftwaffe special detachment assigned the mission of flying from Europe to the U.S. to kill FDR with "smart" bombs.  The aircraft and weapons involved all actually existed.  The book's counter plot follows Allied codebreakers in England as they read the detachment's signals but fail to divine its purpose.  FALL EAGLE ONE is at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062EU4DG.
