Eight lives. You'd think Dominique would get it right, but she's failed every time. Now on her final life, Dominique must discover the secrets of her past before confronting the Transhuman hunter who wants to kill her for the last time. Farrell, a mysterious Transhuman protector, and Trent, a hot guy from school, want to help her. But it's up to her to get it right this time—or she’ll be dead. For real.
Five Questions with Rose Garcia
1. When did you realize you wanted to
be a writer? My earliest memory of writing goes back
to 3rd grade when I wrote a story about a skunk. He was gross and
dirty but a little girl gave him a bath and then he was clean! I still remember
using the phrase “squeaky clean.” I even illustrated it! And I must say, it was
pretty darn good!
2. Where do you get your ideas or
inspiration for your characters? Just about all of the characters
in my books are versions of people that I know—from the personality to the
physical characteristics—everyone is “real” to me. Some of my characters live
on my street, some are my family members, and others are childhood friends. It’s
definitely easier to write what you know, and I “know” everyone in Final Life!
3. What books have most influenced
your life? The first books that really blew me away were the
Chronicles of Narnia. The books were required reading in my religion glass at
Incarnate Word Academy. I’m pretty sure I was in 5th grade and I
know for sure that my teacher was Mr. Quesada. The books instilled in me a love
and passion for fantasy, science fiction, and now paranormal. After devouring
those books, I got my hands on every sci-fi/fantasy book I could find, and I haven’t
stopped reading since!
4. What do you like to do when you are
not writing? When I’m not writing, I’m reading! In
fact, reading is a super important component to writing. Stephen King himself
said, “If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools
to write.” When I’m not writing or reading, I’m hanging with my family and
friends and enjoying life.
