Hi Jessica,
Welcome to Zili in the Sky.
Thank
you so much for having me!!
How would
you describe The Harder I Fall in one
sentence?
That’s a hard one lol.
Finding your strength in letting go of the past.
How do you
pick your character names? I love personally love the name’s Levi and Dillon.
Usually I pick names that I like. But for this one with Levi and his
family I sort of went with biblical names. Becca’s name picked itself lol, I
started writing and she came out.
Which of
your characters (from any of your books) was the hardest for you to write and
why?
Hmmmm, I think Becca was a hard
character just because of everything she went through. She was also easy to
write in some respects because she had such a clear voice.
I’m sure you
get asked this a lot, but everybody always wants to know, do you have a
favorite character?
Haha, I think it changes
with each book I write. I loved writing Becca because she was so damaged and
fragile. Right now I’m writing Chad’s book and I’m loving him.
What pushed
you to write Becca’s story in The Harder
I Fall?
I always say that my
characters have a mind of their own, and I fully know how insane that makes me
sound too. I had a whole different character for Becca, but as I started
writing it all changed.
What’s the
hardest part of writing a sequel like The
Deeper We Get?
I think the hardest part
is that it’s not really a sequel. The books are totally stand alones. The
Harder I Fall was fully Becca’s story. In The Deeper We Get, you will see Chad
four years after Becca’s story took place. It’s nerve wracking to write
something in the same universe because I don't want people to expect Becca and
Levi to be a huge part of it when this one is all about Chad and Scarlet.
How would
you describe Levi in three words?
Loving,
strong, and sexy.
If you meet
Becca in real life what would you say to her?
I just want to hug her and tell her that she’s amazing!
Your books
cover a few different genres, what’s most enjoyable for you to write and why?
Well, I started with Paranormal and that was a ton of fun because I
could create anything I wanted to. But my heart is really in Contemporary
Romance right now. I love how real it
is.
What is your
favourite aspect of writing?
Seeing
the story unfold is always fun.
What’s next
for you in terms of your writing?
I
have a few things in the works, a serial novella series, and I also want to try
my hand at romantic suspense in the next year. I’m also going to return to
Paranormal a bit in 2015.
Huge thanks
for answering my questions and for hanging out at Zili in the Sky!
Thank you so much for having me!!
Author Spotlight:
First and foremost, I'm a wife to an amazing man, and mother to a 2 year old little boy. I love to read when I can find the time, my Kindle is my best friend. I've read tons and tons of books. One of my favorite authors is Diana Gabaldon, her Outlander series is absolutely amazing. I also really enjoy Charlaine Harris' True Blood series. I'll read anything supernatural, I've blown through most of the good YA series' that are out there. I think my love of reading really helped me branch out into writing.
