 Once again I'm part of Page Turner Book Tours. This weekend I'd like to welcome MM Shelley and her new novel, MURDER ON MARS, A New Orleans Mystery.
Murder On Mars (A New Orleans Mystery) Blurb: A paranormal force has lured Ava to New Orleans, where shadows lurk behind every corner and an unknown power has yet to be unleashed. There is a darkness in New Orleans, one that has brought sixteen year old Ava Lopez to the city in search of her best friend, Dyson. A dark crime has been committed, and there are supernatural forces involved. Three sisters who whisper "fate" are awaiting the arrival of the Guardian. Shadow People fiercely haunt the city, unchallenged, but Ava senses that Dyson may be involved with their crimes. She must discover the secret that the Shadows are so determined to keep hidden. Ava will have to risk everything, because where the Fates are concerned there are no second chances. Amazon UK Amazon USA About M.M. Shelley: M.M. Shelley is a storyteller, word smith and dreamer.

What inspired you to write Murder on Mars a New Orleans Mystery? The city of New Orleans was a great source of inspiration. I’ve had the ideas for this story for quite a while, but it wasn’t until after I took a trip to this city that it began to really form and come together. Don’t give away any secrets, but what’s your book about? Murder on Mars is a mystery suspense, it begins with sixteen year old Ava Lopez arriving in New Orleans after learning that a good friend of hers has disappeared. She begins to track him down by piecing together what he had been doing the last few days before he disappeared; she discovers a hidden world within the city. Do you have plans for a new book and/or is your book part of a series? This is the first book in a new series; they will each be stand alone stories. I’ve done so much research on the city of New Orleans that I discovered so many tales and myths. How long does it take you to write a novel? It depends; it can take me four to five months, sometimes longer. What do you think makes a good story? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, well the same goes for readers. Each reader is different and is looking for different things. I suppose I can say that a good story is something that keeps the reader engaged and keeps them reading! Do you work from an outline or just write? Yes, I do outline and I also create character profiles that include what they look like. I found this helps me keep track of the simple things like hair and eye color. Fun Questions: If you were a car, what kind would you be? Honda Accord! I love my car! White wine or red? White! I’ve tried red, but unfortunately I don’t have the test for it. Coffee or tea? Loyal coffee drinker, I’ve been teased that 10% of my D.N.A. is now coffee because I drink so much of it. Vanilla or chocolate? Chocolate! Dogs or cats? Both! Sleep in or get up early? Get up early!
