Anyway, she recently became a lot of passion for writing, starting with fictional thriller, foresight, hunted, and vestige. Welcome to the show. How are you, Doc? Hi, good morning. Just call me Monique. It's great. I'm really good.

Really happy to be here. And lovely to meet you finally, Chris. You're like a jack of all trades. And it's a pleasure to meet you as well. Give us your dot coms. Where can you find people on, where can people find you on the interwives? So you can find me on my website. That's Moniquegliotzi.com.

And my email is munich. com. And you can email me. I'm happy to sort of answer any questions that the audience may have at a later date. The House of Gourmet. Give us a 30,000 overview of what that's about. So it was, let me tell you how it sort of, the idea sort of came to me. I was watching some reels on YouTube.

And this advertisement came up for these really cool Japanese kitchen knives, the Sakuto variety. And they're really, really, the handles are very ornate. The blades are extremely beautiful and sharp, obviously. And I thought to myself, hmm, I haven't really read or seen a movie about, you know, a thriller relating to the culinary industry, which is very competitive, as, you know, especially the higher sort of bracket. And that sort of gave me the idea. And my dad also writes, but he writes in Italy, in Italian.

He's Italian. And so he's published in Italy. So he said, hey, have you got a new book coming? What's happening? So I said, I've got an idea for a cookbook or a book about cooking. And he said, oh, that's great. Your mom's got great recipes. You know, you better eat you a whole download.

I don't know, I think it's going to be more of a thriller. He was equally as excited. As time went on, I got a few more ideas, and that's what I do. I jot them down wherever, even if I'm in the middle of a meeting, I might just draw an idea down if it comes to me. And this story takes place in New York City in Manhattan, thriller. It's not a slasher kind of thriller, even though there is a touch of horror. And it really sort of is about the sort of gourmet industry and the competitiveness in that industry and really when loyalties and rivalries sort of collide.

and it starts off with a gentleman called Jacques, and he's got French heritage, and he follows initially in his dad's footsteps, becoming, you know, working on Wall Street. He gets really bored with that, and then decides he wants to follow his passion, which has always been food. He quits and starts to go to culinary college and all that sort of stuff.

Anyway, as time goes on, he becomes quite successful in this small little, business venture that he's got with a couple of good friends of his, also chefs. On Thanksgiving Eve, unfortunately, of all times, he gets left for dead in a hidden run. He does survive, obviously, but he doesn't fully recover from his injury. So he's debilitated. There's some disability, residual disability. However, he decides, okay, I'm going to make the most of life, and he literally branches out.

becomes extremely successful in his industry, with French cuisine in particular. And he opens up, he has enough funds to open up and nurture young talent in his new culinary college, the Academy of Jacques Bargo, as I call it. And then he, you know, has book deals. He's on TV shows, on podcasts like this. And he basically is extremely successful. And everything's going really well until a series of murders. begin to happen and they affect the higher echelon of the culinary industry, but also, you know,

within the community, there's also a stalker who's basically terrorizing people. So really, the, after the first murder, the NYPD are left baffled because these crime scenes are pretty horrific, but there's absolutely no clues left. So they have to enlist assistance from the FBI. You know, once people start dropping like flies, the NYPD are like, okay, well, well, we know of someone in L.A., Isabella Ashford, FBI agent, who has a special talent and maybe she can help us. And this special talent, as people would learn of in, if you read my very first book, Forsyte, her background is she's actually Mexican,

and she has a twin brother. And in 1985, there was an earthquake in Mexico City, and her family perishes. She and her brother survive and then get adopted and come to the United States. States. In the earthquake, she sustains a head injury, which kind of opens up her third eye. So she basically has visions through dreams. So she has quite a foresight and very strong instinct. So she gets enlisted. So she comes across from sunny California to the cold winter of New York City. And I understand those few blizzards there of late to help. And she does use, you know,

her special skill that really no one really knows about, but also coupled with. with, you know, forensic sciences and the proper process of, you know, working a crime scene and investigating a murder or murders. So I won't say anymore because otherwise I'll tell you everything. You got to be careful with novels. People always ask me, they're like, how come novels, the novel interviews are so short? I'm like, we can't talk about the middle or the ending, otherwise we give it away. And, you know, you got to buy the book to find out.

Maybe we should do a podcast where we're like, we spoil the endings of books or something for people. That would be hilarious. Or maybe give them false, false endings. Oh, that's. You still have to read the book because you don't know if the ending's correct or not. Yeah, you know, we can have authors come on and they can give us two or three variations of the ending and maybe none of them are. It would be awesome. And yeah, it's kind of, don't they do that in Hollywood where they put out fake scripts to throw people who leak scripts off? They throw out fake ones. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be kind of something.

Maybe more people would be into that. I have to find out. It will haunt me unless I know. So now this character's name is Isabella Ashford. Is that correct? Yes, yeah. And her job is to hunt down this killer and all this stuff. When your father was like, oh, you just want to do a recipe book there, Monique?

And you're like, no, I want to do something about murder. Yeah. Be like somewhere I screwed up with. Slicing and dicing. Literally. What did I do wrong as a father? But he loves your books, evidently. Yeah, he does.

He likes reading them. And that's kind of how I started writing again. Because when I was a youngster, I used to write short stories. Really? And then when my dad retired from the, you know, from his, from the service, he was in a diplomatic service. So he basically decided to start writing fiction and to keep the gray cells active. Oh, yeah.

And he would give me, you know, his bits of chapter. And he said, what do you think about this? And I'd give him ideas. And he's, oh, you always want someone to die within the first three chapters, don't you? And I'm like, you have to go a hook. You know, you have to entice someone. It has to do. So he's, he took some of my advice on board, some of it, not all. How were you at this time? I would have been, this would have been like 15 years ago. He started writing. He was, he was, you know, into, you know, his late 60s, early 70s. Okay. And that's how. how I kind of rekindled, you know,

one day maybe I'll start writing. And I was on a holiday in Alaska. This is 2017. I was with my husband. And it's beautiful there and the scenery. And I remember thinking to myself, as I was approaching with a cruise ship to get off one of the little ports.

And I remember thinking, gosh, if you were a fugitive, you could get lost here. No one would find you. And that, there's that thought, spurred an idea of a potential novel. Wow. sometimes it's all it takes isn't it?

Hmm, but mine are short. My books are short. So people might think, oh my gosh, you know, people get discouraged sometimes. They read, they look at a book in there like, this is, this weighs three kilos, you know, and it's thick. Mine are short, fast pace because I like to cater for people who do reading but don't have an awful lot of time. That's kind of how I've sort of pitched my work to people. I mean, that's kind of the way it's going. I mean, so many people, they've got such a short attention span.

And they like these short novels, the beach reads, I think some of them are called in romance. And then, yeah, it's just, it's just kind of the thing. I mean, it's kind of funny. I had a guy, I think, earlier today, who was on the show who wrote a book with a thousand pages. And it was more of a business-y book. But I was like, yeah, you could probably cut that into four. I don't know. Now, in this book, I know you have other books.

We'll talk about them here in a second. But is this, do you see this potentially becoming a series with this character? This is kind of, Isabella Ashford is part of a series. The Ashford series entails foresight, followed by hunted. And they kind of go together. And then there's, Once is Never Enough, and that's about a female serial killer. He's an airline hostess who finds her prey at work and kills them at play in their hotel rooms. So once is never enough, followed by hidden.

and Rick Whittles, so that's a trilogy. And this one still has Isabella Ashford, but it's not part of a series. It's a standalone book. You know, that's a great plot. A killer airline stewardess? Because, I mean, they're always moving around, right? Yeah.

It'd be hard to be like, hey, where is that person? I've dated a couple of flight services. Yeah, they could definitely be serial killers. I mean, I'm going to be nicer to them on the flights, I think, maybe. I'll tip or something. They don't let you tip. But, no, that would be, that would be a perfect thing because you know they're there and gone people like hey do you see who

that was around here you know and they're just zip zab and you know and then they're in another city and you know sometimes my girlfriends are in two or three cities in a year or in a year in a day and so yeah i mean for all i know they're out killing people i'll have to check on that and they're they're trusted you know yeah you trust you're serving you a drink or serving you food or yeah absolutely she's very interactive and very you know it's very much a social past, but she, and she's very skilled. She knows lots of languages as well. So you have, how many books do you have total so people know what to shop for?

I've got nine. So the House of Gourmet is my latest publication. Okay. And then there's just one that's a series? Is that correct? One set that's a series? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. And then do you see any more coming from the series that you have? You know, people love these series things. They love to follow the characters. Yeah. I've got sort of a little bit of an idea for a next book. But again, I'm still sort of filtering through what it's really going to be about. You know, sometimes you get ideas, but you don't quite know where they fit in the ether, in your world.

And then, you know, as time passes, usually it's really ironic because every time I go on a sort of long trip, I tend to get ideas. That's not a while. They just kind of, maybe just sitting in the plane, being bored, you know, just my mind just churns over. I think of murder on the plane sometimes too. Murder plots on the planes, too. Not that I would ever do it, folks, but I really hate the process of flying in TSA and stuff. It used to be so wonderful before that.

And then when you're sitting on the tarmac for two hours or they're trying to weigh the plane and everything, and they're like, some people got to get off. You're just like, all right, there might be some murder. And I take place. And I'm just kidding, folks. Don't call the TSA on you. But, you know, I mean, sometimes you're just, that or you sit by someone who's really awful.

Maybe I'm the awful one. I don't know. It could be that. When did you, you said that very early on, you're writing little short stories, I think it was? What was it that inspired you? Do you just find you had a knack for it? Or were there authors that you were maybe reading at that age? What inspired me, so when I was like a youngster, like a teenager, or a young teenager,

what inspired me was, I loved Agatha Christie, loved reading her books. And there were some films, pardon me, some films also on TV that, you know, like the mirror cracked and the, you know, the, you know, various Poirot sort of series as well as the Miss Marple series. So that kind of just started. And I've always written short stories that were crime related. So that was way back then. So you can already imagine where my mind was headed, you know, before you were down the track. But, however, during COVID, ironically, when, you know, everything shut down and you really. start to think about, you know, the world and what's coming next, really. I decided to just

venture a little bit and explore writing short stories of different genres. So there's, you know, humor, there's romance, there's drama, there's paranormal, you know, and those are contained in my little book called Diversity. So that book has a whole host of short stories, very short stories of different genres that you can read, you know, in a few minutes. You can read one in a few minutes while you're waiting for your laundry to dry or something or the pasta water to boil. So, yeah, so it's pretty, they're quite, and I actually enjoyed it because it sort of took my mind and expanded my imagination into a slightly different arena. But I don't know if I would write a book, like a full romance kind of book. I mean, there is a little bit of romance, you know, and relationship

stuff within all my books. But it's not, I don't think I'd really write like a Danielle Steele, beautiful, romantic novel. That's just not me. It's got to have murder. And, you know, is normally your characters, your protagonist? Are they female usually? No, it varies.

Some male, some female. All right. But everyone's usually sociopathic? Yeah, yeah. Who hurt you? No, I'm just kidding. I think it's funny, that story that you called your dad and, yeah, he thinks you're going to want to write a recipe book.

You're like, no, it's going to be mur. We went from putting flour and things to the other. But no, it's great. You know, we had so many great book authors that came out of COVID. I almost wish it would happen again because for several years there, we just had a dearth of all these wonderful authors, and it seems to have slowed down more. Maybe we need another pandemic. Yeah, we don't need that.

Maybe we need a really bad blizzard and everyone stays indoors. But the internet doesn't get cut off. That's the important thing. There is. And I think it's interesting. Go ahead. I think it's interesting when you, you tend to get your ideas when you travel. You know, a lot of the novels that we have on the show, one of the secrets they always tell me is,

is if I want a vacation in France, I get the book publisher to pay for it because I'm doing research for the book. I'm like, damn it, I need to start writing fiction. I'm self-published, so I don't have that likely. Are you married? Yeah, I'm married. No, kids. She doesn't pay for it. No, I'm just teasing.

There you go. Does your husband ever, you know, you write these books about a sociopathic murder? Does your husband ever kind of keep one eye open at night, maybe? No, he doesn't. He doesn't read my books. Yeah. Oh, he'll start and then he'll get distracted by doing something else now. I tell him what he's about, and I tell him what to watch out for.

He's a good man. He's a very good man. Note to self never upset the wife. She's, you know, there's lots of, I think I had a few girlfriends out there that they love those, those slasher show or the, what was it, the, it's the ones where they have to solve the murders. There's a whole series of them here in America. I don't know if you guys have them down there in Australia, but it's basically their crime solvers, FBI, CSI, the CSI. Oh, CSI, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just kind of look at him and be like, I'm never going to upset you to the point you have to murder me, or at least I'm going to try not to. So I think she's seen 500 episodes.

She knows every way to take me out. So what's the future hold for you? Are there any future books on the horizon yet? I might have asked you that or might alluded to that. Yeah. So I've got a kernel of an idea, but I'm not entirely sure yet. What I'm working towards is getting a couple of my books. books reviewed for film adaptation. That's really my next, my end goal. So, yeah, I'm not a, I'm not a

screen play writer. I know, I have written one, but it's a very different format. And I just enjoy writing prose rather than just dialogue and stuff and descriptions. I don't know. So that's my end point. So that's what we're working towards my marketing agent, Eric and I have been collaborating for almost six years now. It's been, it's been a journey. you ever see it turning into this when you started? No, not at all. Isn't that cool? No, not at all.

I just thought I'd write a book and self-publish it with Tell Will publishing. They're very good in publishing house. And you're part of the whole process of the publication. And it's very fulfilling to see the end result and to hold it in your hands. And my books are available as paperback, hard copy, as well as e-book and Kindle. So if you go on my website, it'll tell you where you can buy them. what format. And they're available on Amazon and, you know, it's, yeah. And just wonderful stuff. I mean, it's so great. There, there was a lot of darkness in COVID and to

see things come out of it that, that did it. And, you know, all these novelists and it's never too late to start, too. You know, I mean, I've had people on the show that have started later in life after they kind of did their things. And what do you, how do your characters come to you? Does the story come to you? Do the characters haunt you? I have some novels on the show where the characters pretty much harass them to write the book? I'm sure that can happen. Usually I get an idea. Then with that idea, I sort of think about, okay, if this, with this idea, I need this kind of character, this kind of character, and this kind of character. And usually I start

off with three characters, three sort of main sort of characters. And then basically I sort of think about how they would fit into the story. And then as I develop the plot, and they usually do that on paper because I'm still a little bit old school. Then basically I weave in, you know, different other characters, you know, where as needed. But the main characters, the important thing is to, for me to think about their role they're going to play, are they going to leave or die? What's, you know, personal characteristics? And with that, then I have to think about what, what am I going to call them? For example, if you're thinking about someone in the fine dining French culinary industry, you know, with a bit of French background, who's well-established, comes from,

you know, a good standing, sort of think about what kind of name, what name exudes success. And for me, the first name that came to mind, I just sort of write random names and then basically just pick one. And the one that I chose was Jacques, Jacques Vargo. And it kind of flows off. So, yeah, so that's kind of the process for me. Do you use a, do you use it, like some people write, try and write an hour a day, some people, you know, lock themselves away and just pound on the keyboard there. How, how, what sort of process to use to be consistent and keep yourself on point? Okay. So, once I've got everything mapped out and it's, I can see it and it's in my head, I kind of have to be in the mood to start writing.

And it's kind of weird. I mean, like this last one, it took me three months to start writing. I wasn't quite in the mood, you know? So it's a strange way. You just have an inner knowing, okay, now is the right time. I know it sounds bizarre. So I sat down and wrote the prologue. And then what usually happens once I've written that, I basically am in there already.

I don't know, it's like a machine. You turn the machine on and it starts building, building, building, to make you know it's like a bit of a train and I just start and I just you know continue but I don't write every day I might write you know a couple of hours you know two or three times a week but the thing is that inertia has once that inertia of getting down to it has been overcome I just find it easy just to continue and you know then the it just starts to flow and yeah so it literally took me total of five months to write the house of the form. Actual from start the first draft.

And then basically, you then comes to editing. I do my own editing and then several, several edits. And basically I'll send it to my editor and she'll give me some feedback, constructive feedback, and then we'll work on that. So usually it takes about seven, eight months for my book to actually reach the publication. things yeah you've got a system down you know it's one of those things i mean i always call it eat the eat the elephant one bite at a time anytime i've got some massive thing that i have got to do and it's you know it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of effort and time sometimes i just i do

kind of what you talked about where i just i'll take a bite here i'll take it right there and you know and then eventually you just kind of get in the flow of it and pretty soon you ate the elephant yeah yeah yeah just make sure you just make sure you cook them first because it's What makes it easy for me is once I've got a chapter or a scene in my mind, I see it in my mind like probably a director would see it, you know, directing a movie. And so the visual, I just transform basically onto, you know, the keyboard. And that's what makes it easy. You know, you're in Australia and I have lots of great friends.

I have a bunch of gaming friends I play with almost daily in Australia. And, you know, it's such a beautiful country. down there. We've had, we've had probably 500 Australians on the show, I think, maybe 300. We've had a lot. And you folks are so wonderful down there. You guys are like basically the nice folks, like the folks in Canada. I think you guys are somehow aligned or something. But the nicest folks are Canada's, Canadians, Canadians and Australians. Have you ever thought about writing some down there? And, you know, the Sydney has got that beautiful opera house. And there's all sorts of animals that could murder you down there. Yeah, no. And I really, probably, I don't know. I mean,

there's nothing really. I mean, I love it here. I'm Australian. It's all Australian. But I, I don't know, I've always kind of gravitated towards, you know, North America. I just have probably because I lived in Canada when I was, you know, a very young child. We traveled around with dad's job. Vancouver is where we were for two, three years. I was young. I can remember. And then obviously I've traveled to the U.S. various places. I haven't gone to New York yet. That's next on my pocket. But yeah, so it's really, I don't know, I just seem to gravitate towards North America. So I don't know. And maybe growing up again, you know, watching movies, you know, all these beautiful, you know, American, you know, movies, you know, like I'm at talented Mr. Ripley, your fatal attraction. You know,

you can just, you know, list is endless, you know, panic room. And it's almost, yeah, it's like little, it's a little bit like a magnet. I've always, you know, tended to gravitate towards that part of the world. I mean, fetal attraction, that was a hell of sociopathic. Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

But in my books, I do take people traveling, if you will. So you will, especially in the, in the trilogy, you know, once is never enough. I'm hidden in requital. There's a cat and mouse chase. And, you know, I do take people around the world, you know, to various parts of Europe, you know, also Greece and, you know, other other sort of areas. So I do sort of give them a little bit of a journey. I look forward to when you come to New York because it's such a, it's such an interesting place of grittiness, of denseness, of stories. I mean, you can walk down the, you can walk down the sidewalk and you can see so many different people from so many different avenues of life, all sorts of.

normalness and weirdness and it's it's a wild place probably be rich for ideas yeah like I said I don't know I just thought New York was just you know I always when I think of New York I think of Manhattan and the Diamond District and all you know the luxury penthouses and the Lady Liberty yeah that's kind of why it inspired me to write about yeah the Lady Liberty you know what if what if you had a murder where someone gets thrown out can you still open the windows at the top of the Lady Liberty. I don't know if you can jump out. They probably sealed it off or something. But I think you used to be able to see out the Lady Liberty top of it.

Maybe someone throws somebody off the top of that or they jump. That might be a serious. I don't know. Anyway, so my audience is going to write a book and make a million dollars off that. Monique, anything more you want to tell us about what you have coming up and what's going on with your life in the future? I'm about to embark on a trip to leaving the Saturday, a trip to Italy. to sort some things out in Rome and my family. And then my husband and I will venture off for a few days to the Netherlands, go visit Amsterdam, and then up to Denmark and visit Copenhagen.

I'm fascinated with the castles over there, so I might get some idea. Having said that, having said that, one of my books is called Facets of the Past, and that takes place in Bavaria, in Germany. and it is about a murder, paranormal experience around a castle, the Starmberg castle, that was home to the late King Ludwig II, who was the mad king of Bavaria. So if you're interested in a castle mystery and paranormal, then check that one out. It's called facets of the past.
