Interview - Piece Keeper by Antwan Floyd Sr.
About the Book:
Teresa Prince, a small town girl with a big
heart, had dreams of working in law enforcement her goals put on pause in the
worse way possible. Will she overcome this tragedy and emerge triumphant with
her mind and soul intact? Or will the mental anguish be too much for her to
bare?
James, a twisted soul with ideas of love and grandeur with a woman that doesn’t feel the same for him, at least not yet. That will all change if he has anything to do with it. Also, her old flame has stepped into the picture. Will James be able to win her over and make her the love of his life before the flame is rekindled between her and her ex? Or will he be left in the cold while they live happily-ever-after?
Black Love was always a white collar kind of guy more so than a gangster when an unfortunate incident occurs in a small town in Illinois he rushes to the side of his ex-fiancé to attempt to save the day. It does not take long to figure out that not everyone wants to see justice served. On top of that, his feelings for his past love may not only cause conflicts in the case but also add a rift to his new relationship. Will Black put his past behind him and find out who violated Teresa?
In this fast-paced tale of pain, misguided passion, and lost love we follow these three souls as they embark on a journey of romance, rape, and retribution. When there’s no one to count on but yourself will you stand and deliver? Or bend and break? Each will face that question in the midst of what they once thought was true. They all find out that when love turns to war, someone has to be the Piece Keeper!

Interview:
1. Is being a writer a gift or a curse?
A gift of course I could never view this as a curse, the ability to craft a story and hold someone’s attention using my imagination is a blessing.
2. Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
At times I get writer’s block, still haven’t mastered how to conquer it yet. I just keep grinding it out until I get my rhythm back.
3. Who are your favorite authors?
Walter Mosley, Eric Jerome Dickey, Vince Flynn, and K. Sean Harris.
4. Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
Man, that’s a hard one. No I don’t remember the first many titles come to mind but as far back as I can conjure up in my mind as a child the first book that comes to mind is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.
5. Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
A wrote a screenplay called Crew Love which I converted into my first novel I released in 2009.
6. When you develop characters do you already know who they are before you begin writing or do you let them develop as you go?
I know who they are and write a loose backstory but the characters always evolve as the story begins to form.
7. How did you break into publishing?
I started off writing screenplays and discovered this author named K’wan after reading his book Hoodlum I began researching how to self-publish and wrote and published my first book.
8. What marketing strategies do you find most helpful? Any resources you would recommend to other authors or aspiring authors?
To be honest even after all this time the best method for me has been meeting readers face to face selling books hand to hand I am no good at internet marketing so I would not be the best person to answer that question.
