What is it that you want,
but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.“I desperately need to locate my fiancée, Priscilla. We
were separated when, The Earth Fell, and I need to develop a plan to cross the crevice.”What’s your internal limitation?
Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
to do during this story?“At moments, I had difficulty believing that she is still
alive. I’m moving forward on faith. It wasn’t until I saw her waving to me from
afar that I pushed forward with my quest.”What inner doubt causes
you the most difficulty?“My fear of dying, and my need to rely on, Letch, for help.
He is less than trustworthy. I know that he is only in this for the money and doesn’t
believe in love. I hope I can trust him.”What’s your external complication?
In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.“The Diablos are treacherous monsters. I’ve witnessed the
havoc that they can wreak on a poor soul. And then there’s the crevice. The impassable
crevice, the thorn between myself and Priscilla, I must figure out how to get across
it.”Tell us about your significant
other, that person who makes living worthwhile.“Priscilla is as beautiful as the rising Sun. She is smart
and loyal. We were so happy before we were separated.”What would that person
say about you?Priscilla always said that I was her rock: steadfast and true.
She always called me her little provider and then she would pinch me on the ear
and kiss the top of my nose.What is your family like?“When the Earth fell, I had no family other than Priscilla.
Then I met, Junkyard. He’s my dog and the closest thing to a brother I’ve ever known.”What special skills do
you rely on?“I rely on my engineering skills to keep alive. Junkyard
has a special talent for locating things that we need. Letch provides an extra set
of hands. We need all three to survive.”Are you happy with the
way your story ended? Why or why not?“The end of the story brought me great happiness and great
sorrow at the same time.”About You: Questions for the writer.
You have the length of
a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
do.Bellakentuky has a penchant for the absurd and the unusual. You
will never read another story that is written quite like one of his.Why did you choose to
write about this character?I wanted to explore the idea of misplaced love.Was there anything you
discovered about this character that was a surprise to you?He had more inner strength than I originally thought he would.When you wrote about this
character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?Abner’s ingenuity made me the happiest. His decision to desert
Junkyard made me the saddest.Why do you write?It allows me to become people that I’m not in real life. I live
vicariously through my characters. I would never have the guts to cross the crevice
– Abner Rosenthal does.What do you want to write
next?I’m working on a horror story titled, Teacup. And an action adventure
story titled, Rocket
Man.What other character from
this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why? Are any sequels planned
for this book?I do believe a sequel might be in order for this story.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your readers?Please note that this book is a short story. “In Search
of Priscilla” will be available for free, on Amazon, from Jan 7 – 9, 2014.I hope you enjoy it. Please leave a review.Cheers!Author Social Media

How did you get your start
in the industry?
Bellakentuky I’ve written fiction since high school. Then, about three years
ago I began to market my short stories in earnest.If you could change something
about your first book, what would it be?I would have made it a little longer. Still, it was a personal
triumph to have it published.What do you enjoy most
about life?love my wife. She is the thing I enjoy most about life.If you could choose anyone
to be your mentor who would it be?That’s a tough one. If I really had to narrow it down to one
it would be Janet Evanovich. I love Stephanie Plum and Janet’s writing style.If you could give the
younger version of yourself advice what would it be?Be true to yourself and don’t worry about everybody else so much.Do you have a muse? Describe
this person, please.It is definitely my wife, Clarisa. She is the smartest, funniest,
most creative person I know. She makes me laugh all the time and is a constant source
of inspiration. One of her favorite things to do is to pretend she is dead somewhere
in the house until I find her. And then I say, “You’re not dead.” And
she smiles. She’s done this for years and it still makes me laugh.What does “balance”
mean to you as a writer?It means to write in a style that puts the reader into the story.
They don’t feel as if they’re reading a story, they’re living it.Do things your family
or friends do ever end up in a book?Yes, my most recent story (which is not a romance. I tend to
genre jump from time to time) is loosely based on an event that happened to my son.
If anyone is interested (horror/thriller genre) it is currently a finalist in the
America’s Next Author 2012.What are some jobs you’ve
done before (or while) you were a writer?I have been a professional photographer most of my life.What kind of books do
you read when taking a break from your own writing?HorrorWhat do you think is the
future of epublishing?I’m too new to say. But I do think the industry is going to continue
to evolve rapidly for the next decade.What was the proudest
moment of your life so far?In 2003, I wrote, produced, and directed a satirical short movie.
It was done in a small town in Florida
using local people for actors. It took four months to complete the project. We did
the premiere showing at a large meeting room in a historic building. So many people
showed up that the fire marshall
wouldn’t let anyone else in. At the end of the movie, the cast got me up on stage,
and the applause was thunderous. It lasted so long I was beet red with embarrassment.
There is no other creative experience like making a movie.Imagine you get to go
on a dream vacation, but you have only one hour to pack and leave, and it starts
as soon as you finish this interview. What will you take with you and where will
you go?My wife, my camera, my laptop, a toothbrush and toothpaste, and
I would go to South Africa.What is your favorite
holiday and why?I love Christmas because it brings up all kinds of warm fuzzy
feelings.Where were you at midnight,
on December 31st when the new century started?Believe it or not, I was DEATHLY sick in bed with the flu. It
was horrible!What do you like to do
when you’re bored?Write…If your life became a
movie, who would you want to play you?Ben StillerIf you were a color, what
color would you be?My favorite color is red.Which statement is more
like you?“I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”“I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
I do things as fast as possible.”Please Fill in the Blanks
I love pizza with LOTS of cheese.I’m always ready for a movie.When I’m alone, I surf the net.You’d never be able to tell, but according to the medical
profession I’m overweight.If I had a halo it would be dripping
with cheese.If I could do anything for my wife, I’d take her on
a trip around the world.I can never run because I have bad knees.Previous Books
