Chapter Five: Gianna

"And now, it's an honor to introduce Isabella Swan, a world famous author!" Gianna Star stood up from her plush red chair and the crowd cheered and clapped as I walked out, waving. I walked over to Gigi and hugged her, before we both sat down, opposite of each other.

"Bella, it is just GREAT to see you again!" She smiled, tossing her red hair over her shoulder.

"Thank you, Gigi, it's great to be here." I smiled back, taking a quick glance at the crowd.

"So," She said, cocking a brow, "You're known worldwide because of your book series, To Kiss An Angel. What was the inspiration for the books?" It was just like Gigi to get straight down to business. She was never one for small talk before the serious stuff.

But I knew this was coming so I recited the words I had practied hundreds of times.

"Well, I think every lady has some sort of sexy fantasy she comes up with at some point in her life. I just took mine, talked to some friends about theirs, and lo and behold, I put it all together to write a book."

"Interesting. So any real life experiences?" Gianna crossed her legs and leaned forward so she was sitting closer to me. Her light blue dress left little to the imagination on the top but that was just the way Gianna always dressed.

"Haha, no, not yet that is." I blushed on cue and the crowd laughed.

"So, I was reading some comments on my facebook page about the comparison between your book and the newest book to hit the strores, Fifty Shades of Gray. What do you have to say about that?"

Again, I felt myself blush, spreading lower this time. I also expected something like this.

"Well, I think Fifty Shades take the whole sexy fantasies a bit further than my books. I haven't read the books myself, but I've heard a lot about the series. My books have nothing to do witht he whole dominating/submissive thing. Fifty Shades is what I consider literary porn. My books have more of a supernatural essence. Now, E L James has made money the best way she can and with that, I have total respect for her. If that is what you're into, go for it. If not, don't bother. But I personally think my books are age appropraite for teens and up."

Gianna smiled at me and claped her hands gleefully.

"That was an excellent way to put it Bella! Now, just a few more questions before our time is up. Your book is a trilogy, right?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Any news on the last book?" She asked, looking at me sweetly.

I swallowed and tried to smile.

Don't think about the dreams, don't think about the dreams...

"The book will be coming out sometime middle of next year. It'll finish off the story of MaKenna and Jacksons relationship and she figures out the mystery of his killer."

"Ah, the mystery essence of this series. I'm going to assume solving a murder isn't part of your sexy fantasies."

I laughed along with the crowd and nodded my head.

"Yeah, well, I figured a book about sex with an angel wouldn't take me very far and so I knew I needed to add something else to keep the series going."

"And so how did you come up with the evidence and the secrets and the murder clues?"

I laid back in the chair and crossed my legs. "Let's just say I use to watch a lot of Pretty Little Liars and Criminal Minds."

The crowd laughed and the cover picture of my first book showed up on the screen behind our chairs.

"Well, that's all the time we have today, but please, if you haven't read them already, check out To Kiss An Angel by Isabella Swan. It's a story about a young adult whose boyfriend is murdered. About a year after his death, MaKenna starts getting visits from an angel which is her boyfriend, Jackson. Together, they work to find out who his murderer was and what happened the night he was killed. This is an amazing series that has love, romance and mystery all rolled up into one! You can pick up a copy at your local bookstore. Isabella, thank you so much for coming today. I'm really looking forward to our next interview. Maybe then, you'll be able to give us more information about the last book."

We stood and she hugged me again as loud music started playing, cueing that the show was about to end. The crowd also stood up, clapping loudly.

Just loud enough so I could hear her Gianna said, "I really love seeing you Bella. And I truely can't wait until the next book."

I laughed back and replied, "Me either, Gigi."

Me either...
