 Guest Post:

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

Temptation Trials Bloopers

     Temptation Trials is an adult, dystopian, romance, and urban fantasy. The story focuses around a corrupt government that now controls the most powerful emotion of love. 

     The protagonists face tribulations, and they desperately want to fight for their relationships. With arranged marriages at the age of twenty-one, the only way to prove their love is through the Temptation Trials—a reality TV show.

       Due to the theme, there is much heartache and a ton of drama. In order to balance it, I did try to add humor within the story.

       The Temptation Trials application is an element that I really enjoyed writing. I formatted an application within the book, so the readers could feel like they’re actually reading along with the heroine, instead of her just telling them about it. The application has the character’s name, age, height, etc. It includes personal likes, such as their favorite food and color. But also, obscene questions sponsored by the government.

     Some examples are: What sin do you think is worse, killing or adultery?
      Do you think intercourse before marriage is a sin?

     Those are some of the milder questions. It was interesting to think about my characters personality and correspond it with how she should respond.

     During the Trials on the island, I decided to use outrageous names for the enforcement officers. 

     Example: Enforcer Ménage & Frisky.

    The plot also revolves around love and lust. So I thought it would be a comical touch to name the dating destination sites lustful, risqué names. 

     Example: Bass of Delight and Ultimate Peak of Climax Isle.

    Introduced during the Trials is the host of the show, Zimmerman. He’s a lively character who loves drama, and I feel added a bit of humor to the Trials. Zimmerman’s specialty is gossip. He liked to embarrass the contestants by putting them on the spot. With Zimmerman there is no subject too taboo or question that he’s ashamed to ask the contestants—all the while everything is being recorded for the entire nation to view. 

     The novel required a lot of research, especially for part 2. I liked corresponding the research by also putting my own spin on it—adding fiction to nonfiction.

      Temptation Trials is a unique blend of dystopian, romance that I think readers who like either genre would enjoy.
