These novels are written like a television series and this box set is your binge watch.
Gillian Felix was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad. She grew up watching night time soap operas by Aaron
Spelling with her mother. That’s where her obsession with rich, powerful and devious characters were
born. After repeatedly seeing Mr. Spelling’s name on the screen night after night, Gillian knew she
wanted to be an Aaron Spelling, before she knew that Aaron Spelling was actually a person.
Gillian pursued drama in high school although it was not taught as a “serious subject”. When asked what
career she wanted to pursue after graduation, she told her guidance counselor that she wanted to be an
actress and was told that acting is not a “real job”.
When Gillian moved to the US in 1998, she landed an internship with Spotlight On Theater in New York
City, where she learned stage managing, casting and the technical aspect of running a production. Later
she branched out into film and fell in love with the behind the scenes action of production.
When not writing, Gillian can be found hiking in the many mountains that surround New Mexico. Gillian
can easily get lost in a parking lot and considers herself directionally challenged. She is always grateful
for the people she hikes with because without them she’d be left roaming the trails like a lost mountain
goat.
GUEST POST
Ten things I look for in a good novel.
As a
writer it’s almost like we are trained to read. I personally don’t
have a favorite genre, I just read what appeals to me. I’ll even
read spiritual and I own a couple of non-fictions. I find that
reading outside the genre which I write helps spark my creativity. It
might surprise you to know that I don’t own any books in my genre
(except the ones that I’ve written). With that said, here are ten
things that appeal to me when deciding to give something a read.
A great
synopsis. Whether it be funny, sad or dramatic, I usually read the
first 4 lines of it and, if my mind don’t start wandering after
that, and I make it through the whole thing, I download a sample of
the book from Amazon.
I don’t like
too much details. I like enough for me to understand what is going
on without the piece being to wordy or overly descriptive.
I love strong
female and devious male characters. They make the story so very
interesting.
I love stories
with a strong plot. It shows me that the author put some thought
into the work and took the time to develop the storylines and
characters.
I don’t like
too much graphic sex in a book (unless the book is erotica).
I enjoy twists
and turns in a book and also a bit of mystery. I used to love to
read Nancy Drew as a child. I also loved Little House on the
Prairie.
If it’s a
non-fiction it’d better have information that is beneficial or I
lose interest. I loved Losing My Virginity by Sir. Richard
Branson. It is actually his bio and it was a great read, very
motivational and inspirational.
Dysfunctional
relationships. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is my
favorite novel in that genre. I loved that Heathcliff and Cathy were
so in love with each other that their love destroyed them.
I like horror
novels, but not horror movies. My favorite novel in that genre is It
by Stephen King. I read it as a child and as an adult and it had
the same terrifying effect on me. The smell of the sewers still
burns the back of my throat and I shudder at some of the scenes in
the book.
I think books should take the reader out of their own world and into
the world of the characters. That’s a good book for me.
