Blog Tour #giveaway: Duplication by Leigh Clary Abdou


Duplication
Duplication Trilogy # 1
By- Leigh Clary Abdou
Genre- Sci Fi

Our tomorrows are today, our yesterdays a secret memory.


Under the new world dictatorship of Pangaea, religion dominates, putting those marked as Christian at a disadvantage. Forced to wear crosses on their clothing and adhere to strict governmental rules, Katrine Matthews and Ramsey Greene find themselves oppressed, living under a government duplicating events from the darkest hours of history.
Together, with people of all faiths, Ramsey decides to fight, while Katrine learns to confront her two greatest fears: falling in love and death, which push her to make the ultimate sacrifice.

  

About the Author
Leigh Clary Abdou graduated from the University of Georgia and wrote her first book in the third grade. That story, along with a collection of poems and other books, can still be found in their original location: a purple Trapper Keeper.

Leigh writes Contemporary Fiction and Science Fiction, coupled with romantic and inspirational undertones. Along with her characters, she doesn’t like to work inside a box or color between the lines.

When she isn’t writing, she’s reading, or watching reruns of Friends and Sex and the City.

She considers being a wife and mother her greatest accomplishments.

Leigh loves to connect with her readers!

Do you have a guilty pleasure? Tell us all about it.
Sleeping-in. As a mother of two children under five, sleeping past 6:30am is nearly impossible so when I get the chance, I take it, and can sleep till almost noon!

Explain your writing process to us.
Complete solitude. I have to be “in the zone.” I can’t write when the kids are running around or with the TV playing in the background. I turn the music off, leave my cell phone in the other room and write. I don’t have a certain time or a certain way. I do make sure I know what I’m writing that day (so I don’t spend the entire time day-dreaming out the window) but other than that, I do whatever feels natural.

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?
Write, write, and write! Read, read, and read!
When I write a book, I do about two or three re-writes per book...writing is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
I also read EVERYTHING. I heard an author say that reading is research, and that’s so true! I used to follow books paragraph by paragraph to see how they were developing characters and how they were using punctuality. I learned everything from reading and then implementing what I had learned into my own writing.
  
This or That 
*Paranormal or Dystopian? Both!

*Winchesters or Salvatores? Winchesters all the way! I loved Twilight but stopped with vampires after that.

*Morning or Night? Night...I get so much more accomplished when the kids are asleep.

*Vanilla or Chocolate? CHOCOLATE! :)

*Summer or Winter? Fall...
