Hi folks, today I’m hosting Jennifer Faye, a soon-to-be-published Mills
and Boon writer. Jennifer writes for the Cherish line and she’s here to talk
about her story via Next Big Thing which is a round of ten questions where
writers talk about their wip. If you missed mine you can read about it in my
October blogs.
Please welcome Jennifer and let’s learn more about her book.
Here she is :)
Hi everyone. I’m thrilled to be here.
Ruchita, thank you so much for inviting me to stop by
your blog. And I must say that I loved your “Next Big
Thing” Q&A. I can’t wait to read the rest of your story. Thank you again
for tagging me.
A little about myself. I am Harlequin Mills &
Boon’s newest Romance/Cherish author. I’ve had a passion for writing all of my
life. When I got “The Call” last month, it was literally a dream come true. I
like to write emotionally stirring romances that will bring a tear to your eye
and a smile to your heart with each happily-ever-after.

The following answers pertain to my first sale to
Harlequin Romance / M&B Cherish. Squee!!!
Q. What is
the working title of your next book?
Rancher to
the Rescue”
Available
July 2013 U.S./U.K.
Q. From where
did the idea come?
The story was
something I developed this summer for the Harlequin Romance Fast Track. It was
a wonderful story to write with lots of emotional twists and
turns to keep me riveted to my computer.
Q. Under
which genre does your book fall?
I write for
Harlequin Romance / Mills & Boon Cherish. I love the emotional depths you
are able to explore within the line—from smiles and laughs to the occasional
damp eye. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster with a happily-ever-after :)
Q: Which
actors would you choose to play the part of your characters for a movie?
I’d picture
Isla Fisher as my heroine Meghan. And Adam Rodriguez from 'CSI Miami' would be just right as her rancher.
Q.
What is a one sentence synopsis of your book?
When a big,
splashy wedding goes awry, the runaway bride is aided by a reluctant rancher,
but their adventure has only just begun and as their complications mount,
they’ll find out that their future plans are about to be revised in ways
neither of them could have ever predicted.
Q. Will you
self-publish or be represented by an agent?
This book
will be traditionally published via Harlequin Mills & Boon.
Q. How long
did it take to write the first draft?
Honestly, not
long at all. At the time I was working one-on-one with my now-editor and I had
deadlines to meet. I've always worked best under pressure. :) If you’d like to see how it unfolded. You can read
about “The Call” here:
Q: With which
books within your genre would your story compare?
Oh my, I
honestly don’t know. I’m really hoping that it is different and that’s the
reason my editor and Harlequin Mills & Boon has brought me onboard.
Q: Who or
what inspired you to write this book?
Boy, these
questions don’t get easier, do they? :)
The
inspiration behind this book had absolutely nothing to do with my characters. I
was currently working with a fabulous editor at Harlequin Mills & Boon and
I wanted to keep working with her. So I had to come up with a great story,
something that would make her sit up and take notice. So she inspired me to
write a fresh story with a unique twist.
Q: What else
about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
Although the
story is set in the American Southwest, it has a contemporary feel with a
celebrity cook, who likes to turn up the heat in the kitchen. Things definitely
never get boring for these two.
Ruchita, thank
you so much for inviting me to your blog. I've really enjoyed my visit.
Thank you,
Jennifer. Oooh a runaway bride, a celebrity
cook. Sounds intriguing! I'm longing to read it already.
Hope you all enjoyed Jennifer’s visit. July will be here soon and you can read this exciting story of runaway bride and her rescuing rancher for yourself. Love to hear from you, so don’t forget to leave a comment :)
