Reader’s Corner: Meet the Author

For my first Reader’s Corner I thought I’d try a “Meet the Author” post.  Give you more of an idea about the person who is Jenna Jaxon.  I got the idea for this particular post from Darlene over at Finding the Write Words with her Friday Favorites post.  I thought it a great way for readers to find out a few fun facts about me.

 A Few of My Favorite Things

1.  Favorite color:  Caribbean Blue (I used to have a car this color—yummy!)

2.  Favorite Romance Author and Book:  Jo Beverly’s Devilish (although Something Wicked is a close second)

3.  Favorite Non-Romance Author and Book:  Stephen King’s It (Drawing of the Three is a close second)

4.  Favorite Pleasure Food:  Chocolate (it’s my drug of choice)

5.  Favorite Mixed Drink:  Miami Vice (cross between a strawberry daiquiri and a pina
colada)

6.  Favorite Movie: (Tough Question!)  Last of the Mohicans (Daniel Day Lewis—May I help you please!)

7.  Favorite Actor/Actress:  Sean Connery/Sigourney Weaver tied with Glen Close

8.  Favorite Place You’ve Visited:  Ireland  (I’ve kissed the Blarney Stone!  This is NOT me!)

9.  Favorite Pop Song:  Today it’s Loser Like Me (got a rejection); usually it’s Bad Romance

10.  Favorite Holiday:  Halloween (see answer  #3 for explanation)

 

We can also play “Ask the Author.”  If you have a question about other favorites of mine that are not on this list, leave a comment and ask.  Or tell me what some of your favorite things are.  I’d love to know more about you too!

Also, come check out my published works.  Heart of Deception is an historical romance, available at Books to Go NowHog Wild is an erotic contemporary available at New Dawning International Bookfair.  And both are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and All Romance Ebooks.

    Do you have mood music for writing? I have a playlist for each novel I’m working on. When I play them in the car, each song brings to mind a plot point… my own soundtrack.

      Hi, Alison. I don’t have a playlist, per se, but usually I have one song I identify with a particular work. Then I’ll put that on repeat and just listen or tune it out and think about the work in question. But it does help. I don’t usually write with music on, but then I’m plotting or just thinking about the book, then music helps quite a lot. Thanks for dropping by, and for the great question!

      The drink is to die for! The only thing that even comes close is a mango martini. I really like Lady Gaga’s new song out The Edge of Glory. And I love birthdays and Christmas, ’cause that’s when I get Godiva! Thanks for stopping by, Nichelle!

    Thanks for the info Jenna. Your tastes vary widely so I have to ask what inspires you with stories? Places? Music? I tend to think of stories all the time so I’m alway curious to see how that happens with other writers.

      It really varies for me too, Tony. Sometimes I’ll be reading a book and something is mentioned that gets me to thinking. I was reading Mary Balogh’s A Precious Jewel and the heroine had to become a prostitute to survive. She mentions in passing that her first week was horrible and I started wondering what it would be like to be forced into such a situation and how the experience with that first “customer” would be, and the whole plot for Only A Mistress Will Do unfolded in my head. I’ve also been inspired by songs–I’m getting ready to write an erotic contemporary based on Katy Perry’s song Last Friday Night. And I was visiting a friend once and just looked at him and thought “Now he’s an unlikely hero,” and another book was born.

      Sorry about the long answer, but it’s a good question because everyone gets their inspiration differenty. Thanks for asking! 🙂

      I love the whole Malloren series! Rothgar just makes me swoon. 🙂 I always go overboard at Halloween (have a great Halloween story to share with everyone this year). And I would so love to move to Ireland. Luscious country, warm people, sucky weather, but it’s never hot at least. Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer!

      My favorite breed has always been the collie. And no, I’m not just sucking up. I loved Lassie as a child (my first dog was named Lassie–not a collie, however). But unfortunately I’ve never owned one. We have a Lab at present.
