Interview with Destiny Booze

Why did you write
this book?

The idea for this book came to me over a decade ago in a
dream. I started writing this story in my head way back then. It’s amazing I
kept it all in there for this long! Ha ha.

What is your favorite
genre to read?

Romantic Suspense! I want an intense conflict, continuing
suspense, romance, and a happy ending.

Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?

Just one? Oh boy, I’m not sure… Maybe Wonder Woman. Doesn’t
every girl secretly want to fly?

What are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?

I am currently working on a romantic thriller about a deaf
girl whose sister goes missing. It is a really fun and exciting challenge to
write. I’m loving it. It does not yet have a title. Any ideas are appreciated! J

Please tell us about
your latest book.

Eric Teague is moments away from
making history. Thanks to him, the world of gaming is about to experience
technology like it has never seen before. When his new establishment, Against
the Game, opens, playing video games will be a thing of the past.

At Against the Game, players
experience the game as if it is real in a virtual reality. There is no TV, no
console with wires and controllers. The game feels absolutely real. Kids get so
much more than puppeteering cartoonish characters through a game of basketball.
No matter the person’s health or physical ability, they will be the characters
in a world without limits and they will experience what it is really like to
compete as a pro ball player.

During test trials, kids called
Against the Game “amazing,” “fantastic,” and
“miraculous.” One kid declared it was the best experience of his
life. Indeed, everyone knew it was going to be something big enough to alter
the whole gaming industry. For Eric, it meant a long awaited dream come true.

But, all too soon, reality breaks
into Eric’s moment when something goes terribly wrong. He and his best friend
Lacey get trapped in the virtual reality of the supercomputer behind his
establishment. It is definitely no longer just a game. The danger is real. The
consequences are real. And, Eric and Lacey’s fight for survival is more than
real.

To live, they must win, and to win,
they must overcome the biggest challenge of all: to trust and to love.
