Starting Over
Jennifer Louise
I’m someone who likes to look at the cover of the
books, although they do not make or break me, as to whether or not I’ll read
the book or not. I just like to give acknowledgement into the work put into
them, so that the work is recognized, because thought and efforts went into it.
And with this cover, I truly felt like it was a love story, and it was going to
captivate me in some way or another. What else, I liked about the cover, is the
over lapping artistry. I haven’t myself, seen anything like this, and this is
truly beautiful. I honestly find this cover artistic and think it quite exquisite.
As for the book itself, I instantly fell in love with
Felicity. Her character is so outgoing, strong and independent. I just am so
drawn to her. And what I love about her even more? She is a twin, something I
have always had in my life. No, I am not one, I have just always had twins
around me as friends, and relatives. And this one, is just like all of the
twins I have ever met and known.
What else that is drawing me to these girls, is that
they moved from New York to Florida. My story is similar, I have moved to Ohio
to Florida. A northern girl to a Southern girl.
And Felicity is wanting to make a new start for her
and her sister. But the thing is, the girls end up in a shelter. Oh, what a
place to end up too.
While in the shelter, this is where Felicity meets
Cameron.
Now Cameron is one of these hot cocky sexy types.
But the thing is, his father thinks that he needs to grow up, settle down and
make partner in his firm. This is not something Cameron had set in his sites,
but he decided to cooperate, and volunteer at a local shelter.
Are you seeing this coming into play now?
Cameron and Felicity just keep running into each
other, and the thing is, they have an instant attraction to each other. And
there is no if’s and’s or but’s about it, it is there, and there’s no fighting
it.
And the thing is, both of these people, are unique
and stubborn in their own ways, and fate is quite insistent on making a
statement.
This book is quite entertaining in more ways then
one, and you will not be able to put it down, because you will want to know
what is going to happen. However, this book is meant for mature audiences. But trust
me, it is well worth the read. I just fell in love instantly, and just had so
many reactions. This book is just so life-like! Truly enjoyable, and a definite
five star read!
My questions for Jennifer:
1.
What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
Before
I decided to write my own books, I fell in love with reading. With that passion
for reading anything romance, I found some pretty amazing authors, one of them
being M.S. Parker and her Club Privé series. After I wrote
my first book, "Starting Over", I wanted to see what other
self-publishing options were out there, and that is when I stumbled across
Kindle Worlds. These talented authors allow you to use their wildly popular
stories as a backdrop for your own story, and that is how
Club Privé: Rebuilding was born. The book only took about two
months to write, once I got the story in my head. I outlined the basic story,
with character names and possible plot twists, and then filled in everything
else as I went along.
2.
Who designed the cover?
I designed the cover. I am so glad that you like it! <3
3.
Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share
with us?
The
models on the book cover were my inspiration, or at least that is how I
pictured them in my head.
4.
What are you working on now?
I
am working on a continuation of the Club Privé: Rebuilding story,
titled Club Privé: Restoring. More of Chloe's past is revealed
and I also introduce Aidan's family. While I don’t want to give too much
away, another figure from Chloe’s past comes back into her life and she
struggles with how to cope and what implications that may have with her
relationship with Aidan.
5.
What motivates, you to write and do you anticipate that you were going to grow
up and become a writer?
I
did not grow up thinking I would be a writer. In fact, I wasn't really an avid
reader until a few years ago. Raising a family, working full-time, and going to
school, didn't allow any downtime for me. Now that my kids are older, I am
taking that time, even though I am still working full-time and working on a degree.
My
primary motivation to write coincides with my love for reading. I love the
stories I read and want to convey the feeling I get into my own books. If a
reader reviews my story and says, “I loved her writing style”, or “I found
another book I could not put down” then I know I have done something right.
That is what motivates me and keeps me going!
6.
If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?
I
didn’t get writers block with the first two books I wrote. But working on the
third, has me second guessing the direction I wanted to go. I have been able to
bounce ideas with my friends and family, but my current book is taking longer
than I intended. Also, with my work/life balance, I usually only write one day
a week, but that also gives me time to mentally gather my thoughts, for when I
can write.
7.
What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?
Don’t
give up! Even if your first, second, or tenth book doesn’t do as well as you
had hoped, keep at it. At least that is what I keep telling myself each time I
see the stats on my books. At the end of the day, these stories are your
babies. Nurture them, write them with love, and don’t be afraid to set them
free… or in this case publish them for all to read and enjoy.
8.
How long have you been writing?
I
have always used writing as my go to for stress relief and as a way of
conveying my feelings to others, especially when talking doesn’t always get the
point across. But writing and publishing my stories on Amazon, just started in
March of 2017.
9.
What are your hobbies?
Reading,
of course!
10.
Do you put yourself into your characters?
I
don’t intentionally but I sometimes think about how I would respond to a
situation, and then usually embellish from there.
11.
Where is your favorite place to write?
I
have a desk set up in my bedroom, so that I can close myself off and concentrate.
It may not be my favorite place, but it is effective.
