~ About Lifer ~
The Bourne Identity
meets Under the Never Sky in this intergalactic tale of love and deception from
debut novelist Beck Nicholas.
Asher is a Lifer, a slave aboard the spaceship Pelican. A
member of the lowest rung of society, she must serve the ship’s Officials and
Astronauts as punishment for her grandparents' crimes back on Earth. The one
thing that made life bearable was her illicit relationship with Samuai, a
Fishie boy, but he died alongside her brother in a freak training accident.
Still grieving for the loss of her loved ones, Asher is
summoned to the upper levels to wait on Lady, the head Official’s wife and
Samuai’s mother. It is the perfect opportunity to gather intel for the Lifer’s
brewing rebellion. There’s just one problem—the last girl who went to the upper
levels never came back.
On the other side of the universe, an alien attack has left
Earth in shambles and a group called The Company has taken control. Blank wakes
up in a pond completely naked and with no memory, not even his real name. So
when a hot girl named Megs invites him to a black-market gaming warehouse where
winning means information, he doesn’t think twice about playing.
But sometimes the past is better left buried. As Asher and
Blank’s worlds collide, the truth comes out—everyone has been lied to...
~ My Interview ~
On Writing and Riding - Interview
I wanted to follow Asher’s story after Lifer, the first book in the
series. She’s gained her freedom but at what cost? I wanted to explore just how
a person might feel/act when losing control of their temper.
2. Did you start
with the main character, the world or the overarching concept?
I started with Asher – both for this story and
in the first book Lifer.
3. Panster or
Plotter? Or in between?
I fall somewhere in
between. I can’t write without a good knowledge of my characters, an opening
and the end but how much I have in-between varies and I’m happy to stray from
the path if that’s where the story takes me.
4. Are you a fan of
writing contests?
I love contests. I
was a contest junkie I think. The opportunity for unbiased feedback (although
sometimes painful) is gold as well as the chance to get your work seen by
agents and editors.
5. How did you find
your agent? How many query letters did you send?
I found my agent
through a writing contest. I had to put up a pitch and start (I think). I’m not
sure how many queries as I had several projects.
6. What's the best
marketing tool you've found so far?
Word of mouth. I
love connecting with readers and bloggers as much as I can.
7. What do you like
best about your mc?
Her fight. She’s got something that means she
simply won’t give up.
8. What do you like
best about your main antagonist?
I love an antagonist
who is as determined as the hero. They just won’t give up – I think the Company
is a match for Asher is this.
9. Anything else
you like to share about your journey or your upcoming launch, including links
to giveaways or ways people can help spread the word?
I would like to
thank my readers. Writing a sequel is tricky and those who’ve contacted me with
their thoughts on LIFER have been amazing. I feel so lucky every day to be able
to share my stories. Please follow the Temper release celebration to find out
more.
~ About the author ~
I always wanted to write. I’ve worked as a lab assistant, a pizza
delivery driver and a high school teacher but I always pursued my first dream
of creating stories. Now, I live with my family near Adelaide, halfway between
the city and the sea, and am lucky to spend my days (and nights) writing young
adult fiction.
