Breaking Möbius
T.R. Horne
ONE GOOD DECISION…
Leaving behind an abusive father and emotionally scarred
mother, Mali Struthers catches a bus to freedom. Atlanta University is the
perfect place to discover her inner strength and special talents that lead her
to a future she never imagined outside her father’s walls. Still learning to
love herself, Mali must push past her own doubts to realize she deserves
everything she’s worked for, even the love of a man seemingly out of reach.
…CAN CREATE A BAD DECISION
As a star football
player, Justice Bradford juggles his high profile relationship and aggressive
groupies but with his best friend’s constant lure of temptation, he struggles
to remain focused. He has the world at his fingertips until his plans are
shattered by deception. Fighting depression, he’s re-routed on a dangerous path
of self-destruction until, by chance, he finds a light in the darkness that
makes him second guess his vow. When Justice is faced with his new reality,
will he get his life back on track before he loses it all?
…AND INCITE REVENGE.
T. R. Horne interviews with The Most Happy Reader
MHR: Tell us about yourself and background...
TRH: Well, wow, let’s see what’s interesting about me? I started
writing poetry when I was only 9 or 10 years old. Then I started writing a
journal about my daily thoughts about life when I was around age twelve. My
poems were a lot like short stories, so I started writing my own little stories
(in poetic form mostly) in my journal. I started really writing more when I
shared it with friends and they were really interested. My first short story was
an email story to my family, chapter by chapter. I never finished it to this
day. (laughs) And trust me, my family doesn’t let me forget it because I tapped
out after the climax and left it without an ending. When I was young, I didn’t
realize that the ending was just as important as the climax. Now, I write
because it’s a way for me to live in a fantasy world and escape from the
mundane. I read because I love being swept into someone’s world and walking
away with some type of emotional connection. Weird, huh?
MHR: Do you write to an idea or plot? Or do you prefer to see
where the idea takes you?
TRH: You know, I really love to write from the heart. I start a
book with a single thought and let it bloom organically. I use thought bubbles
later in the story to make sure I’m pacing properly (marking the characters
highs/lows and timeline the events so it’s authentic). I also do a bit of
research for topics I know nothing about. For instance, in Breaking Mobius, one
of the main characters lived in Washington. I’d never stepped foot in
Washington but I researched areas, looked at pictures and got an overall feel
for the place to sell it to the readers. To be perfectly honest, my plots
usually come from dreams or other people’s experiences. The things that happen
in Breaking Mobius have really happened to people and it’s a little scary once
you think about it!
MHR: Are you reading at the moment? If so, what?
TRH: I am constantly reading! I like reviewing other people’s
work because I love giving props to people that put hard work into their books.
I mostly read indie authors because they have a refreshing tone to their
stories and it’s unpredictable whether you will like it, love it or hate it. So
that gives me excitement to start reading a book from a person I’ve never heard
of. Currently, I am reading and reviewing four books: Jordan’s Brains by J.
Michel (zombie novel with great reviews), A Madaris Bride for Christmas by
Brenda Jackson (well-known romance writer), Subfrenzy by Kimberlee Jane (BDSM –
my first), The Weight of a Feather and Other Stories by Judy Croome
(compilation of short stories). If you want to follow along with me, friend and
follow my Goodreads page under T.R. Horne.
MHR: For your own reading, do you prefer E-books or
paperback/hardcover?
TRH: This question has been the source of many discussions on
Twitter, Facebook and with friends. I think all versions serve a particular
purpose for me personally. E-books are good when I am on the go and want to
read. Therefore, I don’t like reading novels on e-books and try to stick to short
stories and novellas. Paperback is my all-time favorite method of reading. It’s
bendable, easy to throw in a purse, doesn’t hurt my eyes and is much lighter on
my wrist for lengthy reading. Now, hardcover books are for my special
collection. If I loved the book, I buy the hardcover and keep it on my shelf
for friends and family to ooohhh and aaahhhh over. (laughs) The hardcovers are
too heavy to read and the dust jacket always jacks up while I read but I love
the shelf appeal. So the easy answer is…it depends on what I’m reading and what
the book is for.
MHR: Any last thoughts?
