Dane Michaels has been to Hell and back and isn't interested in repeating the experience. But as a human caught up in the Soulkeeper's world, his life isn't exactly his own. No one can explain why Dane was allowed through the gates of Eden, but it's changed everything. Now, the only one who can make him feel safe is Ethan, the telekinetic Soulkeeper with a dark past and a heart of gold.

When Malini asks Dane to be part of a mission to find the last Soulkeeper, Cheveyo, more than one team member thinks she's tempting Fate. But Malini suspects Fate has had a hand in Dane's life for some time and that he could be the key to unraveling Lucifer's latest plan of attack.

    1. While many aspects of being an author are rewarding, especially having fans who are touched by my work in some way, I am a caregiver for a sick family member and being an author has allowed me the flexibility to work around doctor's appointments and such. I'm really thankful for that.

    1. If a name doesn't just pop into my head when I picture a character, I use a baby names book and try to find one with a meaning close to the characters personality.

    As for my Question to G.P.Ching.....
    What made you decide that you wanted to be a writer?

    1. Writing is one of those careers you don't really decide on, you just do or don't do. That is to say that most fiction authors do all of the work upfront and only when the book is done find out if they can make a career out of it. So, I've always written stories, since the time I could hold a crayon, but my readers made me an author.

  10. Being hat you are an adult now, do you find it difficult to write a young adult series? I can understand a stand alone, but I would think keeping a plot going for multiple books in a series would be difficult.

    1. The characters in The Soulkeepers Series have always seemed real to me, so it's been easy to tell their story as they have revealed it to me. I know that seems strange but it hasn't been as difficult as you might think.

  11. Were do you find name and background character for your books?
    It's look very hard to find info for your character.

    1. I don't go looking for it. It comes from somewhere within me, from my experiences I guess.

  12. What kind of books do you enjoy reading?

    Replies
    1. I read books in every genre but tend to gravitate toward literary, young adult, romance, fantasy, thrillers and light Sci Fi. I recently finished Matthew Quick's Silver Linings Playbook and am looking forward to reading Dan Brown's Inferno.

  13. What Is the reason you decide to write or become a author instead of any other choice of careers?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Actually, my undergraduate degree is in accounting and I have second degree in nursing. I am a RN in the state of IL. I worked for a major corporation for over a decade as an Information Technology manager. I always wrote fiction as a hobby and didn't expect it to become a career until it was! I am very thankful, however, for this twist of fate in my life because it has allowed me to do what I am most passionate about.

  14. My question is ; What room or place is your favorite to write in? Thank you!

  15. For the first book of the Soulkeepers series (the only book of the series I've read so far, to admit), how did you decide how much focus to put onto race? It seems like a major theme in the book, but not enough to put it into "issues book" territory.
