Happy Halloween! On this spooky day, we're thrilled to have Julia Keller with us to share more about her novel, THE DARK INTERCEPT.Julia, what did this book teach you about writing or about yourself?
What a great question! I love the idea that books are for the people who write them as much as they're for the people who read them. It's really, really true. When you write a book, you make a new best friend: Your ideas. THE DARK INTERCEPT let me take some of my favorite ideas out for a spin.
How long or hard was your road to publication? How many books did you write before this one, and how many never got published?
I've been lucky in my writing life. I won a Pulitzer Prize for my work at the Chicago Tribune, and that made people interested in my stories. The hard part was having them understand that, while I was journalist and wrote about real things, I wanted to write fiction. Once I'd written THE DARK INTERCEPT, I was fortunate to be paired up with a great editor -- Ali Fisher at Tor. She helped me re-think the shape of my story. And like all writers, or at least the ones I know, I have several unpublished manuscripts hanging out in my desk drawer. Someday, they may see the light of day . . .
What are you working on now?
Book Three in the THE DARK INTERCEPT trilogy, which I call MUSIC FROM A BROKEN STAR. I just finished Book Two, A SCREAMING IN THE MIND, which will be published in 2018. I hope readers are so engaged with the characters in Book One that they just can't wait to read the rest of the story!
