What I’m Researching: Lightning

What I'm Researching: LightningEver wonder what research looks like for an author?

Well, messy. Let’s just start with messy, for me at least. And it involves tons of browser bookmarks. That too.

But it also means learning things that you might otherwise have never known. For this new series I’m working on – the mermaid one – I’ve been digging into all sorts of topics I wouldn’t have anticipated needing to research. It’s crazy what random details can crop up in a story. But as part of that, I thought it might be nice to share a few of the sites and videos I found with you.

For my last spotlight of 2013, I’d like to introduce you to Cameron Jace and his new book, Insanity – a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, set in the modern day – as a part of his book blitz with Good Choice Reading. He’s also got a giveaway as a part of this tour, so don’t forget to take a look at that too (there’s a Kindle involved…).

Story Synopsis

After accidentally killing everyone in her class, Alice Wonder is now a patient in the Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum. No one doubts her insanity. Only a hookah-smoking professor believes otherwise; that he can prove her sanity by decoding Lewis Carroll’s paintings, photographs, and find Wonderland’s real whereabouts. Professor Caterpillar persuades the asylum that Alice can save lives and catch the wonderland monsters now reincarnated in modern day criminals. In order to do so, Alice leads a double life: an Oxford university student by day, a mad girl in an asylum by night. The line between sanity and insanity thins when she meets Jack Diamond, an arrogant college student who believes that nonsense is an actual science.
