Sonny Black Independent Wrestler Takes Over For A Day In Day 6 of The Wrestling

Hello Readers,

 
I want to introduce you to Sonny Black, he is the high flyer defying the odds with not just his Wrestling style, but with what he wants to achieve. This young Wrestler is determined to reach the top and become the best of the best at what he does. So without much more beating around the bush, here is Sonny Black!



Q) What are your thoughts as a Wrestler on the idea of Romance being introducted back into the Wrestling Industry?

A) Art imitates life. I think romance and wrestling go hand and hand. Wrestling both in and out of the ring is like a real life soap opera and the need for there to be a love aspect is just as important as anything else to me personally

Q) For you, would you find romance being added to your storylines as a Wrestler harder or not much of a hassle?

A) its a little different for me personally, because im a larger dude i stand roughly 6'3" or 4" and is almost 187kg, so they usually give the romance/love interest storylines to other wrestler. I usually play the muscle or henchman role but id actually like to see that type of character get the female instead, so i like it because its different then the norm. As someone who also inspires to someday make movies i also welcome the challenge of being the lover instead of the brute, no hassle here, lol

Q) What do you think the impact would be if Romance and Wrestling teamed up?

A) more compelling storylines. it would be a little more something for everyone to enjoy

Q) Where would you like to see Wrestling and Romance go?

A) The big screen, movies to me is the same as wrestling matches just longer time limits to really flush out a story. The only way you can fully bring a true Wrestling And Romance Story out would have to be in a book or a movie

Q) Who would be your dream oppanent from the Attitude Era?

A) My hero Triple H, I've always looked up to him, would love to work him, although if i make it to the WWE he may not totally be at a wrestling capacity but id always say Triple H

Q) Who would you would be your favourite person to tag with?

A) A good tag partner would be someone to learn alot from while teaming with them. Id go with Japanese wrestling star Masahiro Chono

Q) What would be your favourite moment in the Attitide Era be?

A) so many good moments, that really was a good time period, lol. if i had to pick one id say the Undertaker Vs Mankind hell in a cell match, it was epic, and i dont think anything will ever top it totally

Q) If you had the chance to work with either Matt Hardy, Shane Helms or Randy Orton who would you choose and why?

A) Randy Orton, bigger star, bigger match, bigger payday

Q) How do you relax after Wrestling all night?

A) I like Cigars, and i love video games. Stuff like that help ease my mind after a long day of wrestling. Plus i have great friend, they have been my therapist on many accusations

Q) What book has caught your attention most recently?

A) I been reading Musashi's Book Of Five Rings. His wisdom can be applied to various things in a persons life

Q) What is your must see TV show at the moment?

A) Dont have one at the moment, waiting for the new season of Sons Of Anarchy to start but thats months away. Sons Of Anarchy is beyond a shadow of a doubt my favorite show out at this moment

Q) What is your must see Film this year?

A) Fast Five, the new fast and the furious movie. It looks action packed, and i can be such an adrenaline junky

Q) What is your must attend event this year?

A) Im a wrestler so to me every show im booked on is the biggest must attend event for me personally. Although besides wrestling i do want to get tickets to next season Knicks opener at Madison Square Garden

Q) What is your must attend event for next year?

A) I dont know yet, but whatever it is, i hope to enjoy every minute of it.

Gina Takes A Seat and Shares With Us Her Thoughts!

Hello Readers,

Today we have the wonderful, Superhero like publisher own Gina Cianfarani. She is the owner of XoXo Publishing and she is the one, who is leading the way in different genres, different themes and she is owed a hugs set of thank yous for giving me my voice so that you all could here my stories.  If that wasn't even she is jaw dropping beautiful and a Wrestling fan to boot. So without further a do, lets give a warm welcome to Gina  Cianfarani!

KM-- What effect do you believe the Wrestling world has on the Romance world?

GC-- Like any new genre it will either take it by storm or take time to develop into a new kind of romance genre that the public likes to read.


KM-- Do you believe that our Romance Readers will go wild over the young hot Wrestlers?

GC-- I think it is subjective. Not everyone enjoys or watches wrestling so it’s more of a love and hate relationship. I personally enjoy watching wrestling, and was a fan of The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) in his earlier days and now he’s one of my favourite actors. So is John Cena. I like Randy Orton, Mysterio, Edge and many others. I like the fact they support the library associations, a worthwhile cause to help literacy with their own Wrestlemania Reading Challenge World Finals. In fact this year we had a Canadian young man in the top three.
Grades 5-6: Eric Jose of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Grades 7-8: Marinna Vela of Zillah, Wa
Grades 9-12: Brandy Eggleston of Durham, N.C. USA.



KM-- Wow that is impressive. 
KM -- What do you think of the Wrestling Fictional theme books that are starting to be published into the Romance and Writing world?

GC-- We’re one of the first small presses introducing the wrestling and martial arts theme as an actual genre. I think it will take off once word gets out. Authors need to promote more and understand The Art of Self Promotions. A book which is to be released this Spring in ebook, CD and paperback.


KC--  What is the hardest part of running a Wrestling and Romance genre?

GC -- There really is no specific hard part, in this particular genre. It is up to the author to create a work of art with words. It is the author's story and they have something to tell and the story has to take hold of the readers' attention.  If the story is well written it should be well received by fans.
KC -- Now onto some Wrestling Fan Questions . . .If you had a choice to ask any question you would like to the following: Matt Hardy (Cold Blooded), Shane Helms (Hurricane Helms), Randy Orton or Wade Barrett, who would you choose?

GC -- Well seeing as you haven’t mentioned any of my favourites listed above I'd have to choose Randy Orton.

KM-- Who do you think has the most romantic side in the Wrestling world right now?

GC-- LOL, well romance doesn’t really mix with current die hard wrestling fans! However, there are people who do use the wrestling world and martial arts for adult role play.

KM-- What do you think of Chris Jericho on Dancing With The Stars?

GC-- I watched Dancing With the Stars just for him. I love CJ, I wish I was the one dancing with him. Did you watch his moves ;)


KM-- Who do you think is the best looking in the Wrestling Industry right now?

GC-- I'd have to go with the favourites I listed above. And maybe a few others . . .

KM-- Now for some fun questions from the Romance Readers . . .What do you do to relax after a long day?

GC-- I read romances. I enjoy reading the Blaze and Spice line.


KM-- What is your favourite television show right now?

GC-- Dancing with the Stars and wrestling, of course.

KM-- What is the must see film for you right now?

GC-- Honestly, I haven’t seen one in a while.

KM-- What is your must attend event for you this year?

GC-- I have too many to list but they’re mostly all book signings, books fairs and conventions.


KM-- What are your must attend events for next year?

GC-- The Canadian Booksellers Association Expo, The Canadian Authors Association Convention and Book Expo America.


KM-- Are you looking for wrestling and marital art manuscripts?

GC-- Yes we are! Please submit your full manuscripts to: penny@xoxopublishing.com

With the subject line: Wrestling and Martial Art Submissions


KM-- How do we contact XoXo Publishing?

GC-- We are very active in various social networking sites and you may find us at any or all of the following:

I'm In Love With XOXO Publishing and Here Is Why

Hello Readers,


I got a Direct Message from a fan the other day who asked me what it was that I loved about XOXO Publishing so much. Now any of you who knows me, knows that I'm always screaming this places name at the top of my lungs. Well today I'm going to tell you why I'm in love with XOXO Publishing.


Gina who owns XOXO Publishing found me back when I was unsigned, struggling to be heard writer. I was just about to give up and bury my dream of ever being an author a year ago. I was also dealing with a lot of FAMILY drama. I was thinking after a long list of rejects, because I was dyslexic and some of them thought I was thinking too far outside of the box, that it was over. I couldn't have been more wrong.


She got her hands on my first real trusted MS, (Manuscript) Freedom Is Earned and she fell in love with it. I was signed soon after. I really didn't know if I should believe it, because I had a few other contracts offered only to have them ripped away from me. I signed it and was more then excited to have my first real piece of work to go into Publication. However it wasn't, because she saved my writing career that I feel in love with XOXO Publishing.


It was the family like atmosphere, the editors, who inspire as well as edit. The cover artist who has blown my mind with her work. The support I got from them to keep me going when I'm not well or a little down. Artists get down and bogged down within things. It happens. I can put my hands up to that. They though taught me grammar that I hadn't learned and stuck by me when I was away in the clouds with my ideas. They should real passion and love for my work as well as my readers.


They were so professional too and they made me feel like an author for the first time in my life. For the FIRST time in my life, I wasn't someone who was trying to break in, they welcomed me in. From there they have nurtured my imagination. Now I have 6 series that I'm working on a possible 7th. I got a group of readers from being with them that I fell in love with nearly instantly.


They listened to me, they screamed my name from the roof tops and they stand by me, no matter what I'm up too. I have more faith within the writing world, now more then ever. I found that at XOXO Publishing. They have become my home and I don't think I will ever go anywhere else.


From there my best work has come to life, 'Shetlands Immortals Series' came to me in their chat room when we were talking about the 'Highlander' series and what my real thoughts were on a certain superhero. Not going to name any names there. From the promotional events I was apart of, other series breathed into life and my dance one was loved for the blood, sweat and many tears I had poured into it.


I was encourage on my path to write 15th pieces within the first few months. I have only been with them since September 2010, but I can tell you that there is no where else that could have done that for me. No where else where I would have gotten the vibe that they craved my work. When I did another promotional event I was met with a true honest fan who loved every piece I had done. He hungered for what I was working on next, trust me if you were a fly on the wall in my office, you would be always screaming at me to stop yapping away and right more.


With that said I will always be an XOXO Publishing girl at heart. I love my writings home and I hope that you will support some of the many authors who are there. They have so much to offer and they are really wonderful people. Please join our Yahoo Loops, Chats, you will fall in Love with us. We are always open minded and always ready to share a story to your liking.

Friends Inspires Story To Take Life Within Me.

Hello readers,

Recently my muse has been playing with tones of ideas and not settling on the list of stuff I need to be working on.  (you should see my notebook, its nearly crammed full of new titles, blurbs and ideas)  Until today. I was reading Drea's Interview with Mahalia and my muse settled down and it was as if it was saying.

"Right ok, I will behave and work on one thing."  Sadly it wasn't the one that I needed to finish, but at least it was one that needed work done on it. So am currently work on 'Shetlands Immortals'.  It will properly be finished in a few days if this keeps up.  I seem to be completely wrapped up in the Scottish themes and can't get out of that area for the life of me.  'Highlands Kidnapped My Soul' oh no not another good title.  That one will be good for my Time Travel Scottish Stories.

I better go now before my muse goes anymore nuts then it all ready has. Thank you to Drea and Mahalia for kicking my muse in the butt.  Never knew it would be done by an interview, but there you go.

Kristal McKerrington. x
