It is a cloudy Sunday morning by me. It is a morning that I totally wish I had some doughnuts as I was editing on the couch tonight. However, I don't have doughnuts and I have a bridesmaid dress I have to fit into in less than two weeks. I am also releasing a young adult book this week and revealing the pirate cover tomorrow!
However, we are here to gush over Diana Nixon's newest book cover and to get to know her before its release. Out of this series, this might be my favorite cover. I will say on a dork note, her favorite book that she has written is my favorite of hers. I have a good portion of her books to still to have read, but I have read several. Love Undone is probably my favorite so far. Sorry for the preview of an answer! Now get ready to get to know the author I talk a lot about.
Interview questions
1.
What is your favorite genre to read?
-
The one I'm writing – contemporary romance :) I
can read fantasy at times as well.
2.
Do you have a favorite out of your characters?
-
My heart in this case will always belong to Evan
Murray from Love Lines: he's smart, good-looking, with a good sense of humor,
and he's a friend to die for. I think a lot of my readers, especially those who
read Love Lines series, will choose Evan over everyone else.
3.
Which one of your books was your favorite to
write?
-
Love Undone – for being a truly touching story,
and Serene – for being a book that shows that life is not always easy, but if
you just find the right person to spend it with, everything will be different –
much brighter and happier.
4.
Do you have a writing routine?
-
I try to write at least 3k words every time I
open my laptop to work on a book. I hate leaving my chapters unfinished. I
don't like distractions when writing, that's why silence is my best helper :)
5.
Do you have another project in mind after the
Shattered series?
-
There are actually two books that I'm going to
write in the near future. One is romance for a box set that will include 23
more stories from various authors. And the second book is also going to be a
romance, but with a very interesting and unpredictable plot. I don't want to
give away too much at this moment. But stay tuned and follow my bookish news to
learn more about both projects :)
6.
What is a guilty pleasure of yours?
-
Chocolate, that's for sure. If there's not a
single piece of chocolate in the house, I can't think straight :) Especially if
I'm in the middle of the writing process.
7.
Do you have any advice for other authors or
aspiring authors?
-
Write stories that you want to tell. Let them be
the reflections of who you really are. And never give up on your writing
dreams, even when it feels like there's nothing you can do to succeed. Oh, and
one more thing – ALWAYS start promoting your book even before you start writing
it! :)
8.
What is your least favorite part about the
publishing/writing process?
-
Advertising. Sometimes I feel like I spend a lot
more time on promotion than on writing. It's a bit irritating, I must say. But
that's the price you need to pay if you choose to be an independent author :) I
like having everything under control, so I'd better spend more time making
posts, then let someone else decide how my book cover should look like, or what
kind of a story I should write next.
9.
Fall has started, what is your favorite fall
activity? Or what is your favorite thing about fall?
-
I like fall for many things – but most of all,
for the colors. It always amazes me how beautiful everything around you looks
in fall. As for my favorite fall activity – I can't say it's an activity – but
I like spending cold fall nights with a cup of tea with lemon and a good book
in my hands, candles and music on the background.
10.
Can you tell us anything about the newest book
in the Shattered series?
-
Faded is the 4th and the last story
in the series. It tells a love story of Jeffrey – the guy you should know from
the previous Shattered books. This story is divided into two parts – past and
present, and it's being told from two POVs so that the reader could see the
events through the eyes of both leading characters. To be honest, I like
changing POVs :) It was a little sad to finish the series that I had been
working on for a couple of years, but I think Faded is a perfect finale. It has
a scene where all of Shattered main characters are together and it makes the
end both nostalgic and happy. I hope you guys love Faded and add it to the list
of your favorite reads ever :)
So are you now interested? I hope so! So keep your eyes open her newest book and apparently some upcoming projects!
