ABOUT JENNIFER
I live
in a small Texas town along the Gulf of
Mexico. Family is everything to me. My
mother always encouraged my reading
growing up. Looking back, my earliest
memories revolve around my grandmother,
who was always glued to a book. Her
passion for mystery is probably the
reason I’m so comfortable around a
police scanner. Hers was on twenty-four
hours a day.
When I'm not writing, cooking, or
brainstorming new ideas, you'll see me
with a book in my hand. Briefly before I
started writing, I was devouring a
romance novel every day. For some
reason, I couldn't get enough. My
husband asked me the question that
ultimately changed my life forever. "Why
don't you try writing a book?"
At first, I laughed. Write a book? Who,
me? Never written a story in my life, I
was intimidated. To satisfy my husband
and to sate the curiosity that began to
fester inside of me, I did. My first
story was my husband’s favorite. There
was something that ultimately bothered
me about it, though. I couldn't write a
love scene to save my life. Not one that
would fit inside of a "romance" book,
anyway. It was way too graphic.
After doing research I came across the
erotica genre and knew this is where I
belonged. Details are important and with
my books, the more details during their
"coupling", the better.
INTERVIEW
Q: Why the darker side of Erotica?
A: For one, it's something I know. No,
I'm not a stalker, just curious. I feel
passionate towards things I tend to
want. Ask my husband. The poor guy
couldn't get away from me. Of course, it
went both ways.
Q: Who are some of your favorite
authors?
A: Well, that's hard. I have so many.
Anything in first person, I absolutely
love. Megan Hart does great in first
person. Also, Tara S. Nichols,
MaryJanice Davidson, Holly Jones, Kelley
Roby, L. J. Smith, P.C. and Kristen
Cast...the list goes on.
Q: Besides Erotica what are other genres
do you enjoy reading?
A: I'm a big historical romance reader.
Anything historical and I'm addicted. I
also love paranormal young adult.
Lately, I'm reading more than what is
coming out.
Q: How do you usually develop your
stories?
A: Everything starts with an idea and
the first sentence. I never plan ahead.
What comes out after the first few words
is something I rarely have control over.
Guiding it is easy, but if I try to make
it go a certain way, it usually never
does.
Q: Do you see yourself writing
five years from now?
A: Absolutely. I can't not see myself
writing. This is what I was meant to do.
It's an overpowering feeling that fills
my heart and pulls me back to the
computer when I think I can't write
anymore. When you're meant to do
something, you just know.
