Exquisite Quills Welcomes Aimée Brissay
EQ: Welcome to EQ!
Tell us a little bit about yourself!
Aimee: I guess you
could say I'm a thirty year old dreamer. I'm not talking about hoping to get
rich and famous or to win the lottery, because I'd lie if I said that thought
never crossed my mind. But that's not what I meant. I'm the kind of dreamer who
lives the perfect life, filled with joy and adventures. In my mind, I've
traveled the world, seen all the wonderful places I could have hoped for and
met all sorts of interesting people. Too bad more often than not real life
stands in the way of my fantasies.
EQ: Tell us a little
bit about your most recent release.
Aimee: That
would Daring Adam. It's the first part of
a vampire series called Taking Chances, a MMM menage. We have Darien, an old
and powerful vampire, and Zephyr, his incubus lover. Life is beautiful. They
have each other, Darien is the master of Bucharest, unchallenged for decades
and Zephyr has his business. What could possible go wrong? But all of a sudden,
all hell breaks loose. Bodies are left in silent challenge for Darien to find and
an unknown enemy threatens his cozy life. And on top of everything there is
Adam, the fledgling that appears out of nowhere and takes up residence in
Darien and Zephyr's hearts.
EQ: What made you
want to become a writer?
Aimee: I've always
wanted to be a writer, ever since I was little. I used to read all these great books
(every single one of them was great for me back then), that took me all around
the world. Great characters living exciting lives and half the time I was torn
between wishing to be them and having written their stories in the first place.
Of course, would I have done that, the books would have been totally different
and not nearly as good.
EQ: Describe how you
came up with the plot of your novel.
Aimee: Usually, I
come up with an element, or even a character I like, and I devise a plot around
it. For Daring Adam I came up with the title first. I had no idea what the
story or the characters would be like, but I had a title I really liked and I
wanted to bring it to life. I have to say, it turned to out to be a lot more
difficult than I was expecting. And guess what? I'm probably a masochist, because I'm doing
the exact same thing for book two of the series.
EQ: If your novel
was adapted into a movie and won an Oscar for best screenplay, what would you
say in your acceptance speech?
Aimee: I love this
question. Not in a million years would I have thought if asking this.
I would love to
thank my parents for offering me all the books I could possibly want. My
friends for putting up with my disappearing act whenever I felt the need to
write and I have to admire their never ending patience with me because I'm
pulling Houdinis more often than not. And my cats, for bringing me all sorts of
interesting gifts in the form of live lizards, frogs and mice whenever I need
cheering up.
