The Book Resort is thrilled to have the enthralling Jeaniene Frost over for a little chat.
Ready? Let's go!
Me: What are you working on now? (If you can give us a hint!)
JF: I’m just about to start Cat and Bones book five. I’ve had a little break from writing them after completing the two “spin off” books, so it will be nice to delve back into their heads again.
Me: Spiderman or Superman:
JF: Superman!
Me: Wonder Woman or Batgirl:
JF: Wonder Woman. She was my favorite as a child. I can trace my love of kick-ass heroines back to her.
Me: Chunky or Smooth:
JF: Are we talking peanut butter or ice cream? Chunky for peanut butter, smooth for ice cream.
Me: Favorite flavor ice cream:
JF: Pralines and cream. Or crème brulee. I can’t decide!
Me: Favorite ice cream topping:
JF: Caramel.
ME: Subway or Taxi:
JF: Taxi. Less chance of me getting lost.
Me: Broadway Show or Movie Theater:
JF: I’ll say movie theater, but I’ve never been to a Broadway show, so it’s only a guess.
Me: TiVO or DVR:
JF: Um, I don’t have either, so I have no idea ;).
Me: Favorite vacation place:
JF: New Orleans, the French Quarter. Love love love that place.
Me: Next vacation destination:
JF: I don’t have another vacation planned now, but I’ll be in Columbus, Ohio in April for the Romantic Times convention.
Me: Favorite NYC hotspot:
JF: This will sound lame, but my favorite spot in NY was Central Park.
Me: Guilty Pleasure:
JF: Heh. If I like something, I never feel guilty about it ;-).
Me: Good luck charm:
JF: My mace. Don’t leave home without it!
JF: When you were a little girl, you thought you would grow up to be….
JF: Wonder Woman. Or an author. Hey, I succeeded at one out of two ;-).
Me: Last thing bought at the mall:
JF: I don’t remember. I don’t go to the mall very often. I’m probably the only woman alive who doesn’t like to shop.
Me: Item on your grocery list:
JF: Coke Zero every trip. Gotta get my caffeine.
Me: French fries or Onion Rings:
JF: French fries.
JF: Chicago. Deep dish = yummy.
Me: Midnight snack:
JF: Mixed nuts.
Me: Bookmark or dog ear?
JF: Dog ear. I know. I’m a disgrace to authors everywhere.
Me: Read with dustjacket or remove it?
JF: With it.
Me: Ocean, Lake, Desert, Mountain:
JF: Mountain! I live in Florida and I’m hoping to move to the mountains soon. I’ve had enough of oceans.
JF: Absolutely could not pick only one. Couldn’t even pick my favorite top three. I love books for different reasons and those reasons are varied. Thankfully there’s such a wide variety of books.
Me: Item you can't live without:
JF: Coffee.
ME: Who is your favorite writer that most people have never heard of?
JF: See, I can’t pick just one author, either! I swear I’m not trying to be difficult, but it’s too hard. Ask me a favorite by genre and maybe I could give you just one for each.
Me: What kid or teen books made a difference in your world growing up?
JF: I’ve been reading adult novels since I was twelve, so the answer to that is none. But when I was twelve, I read Bertrice Small’s SKYE O’MALLEY, and that launched my love of romance novels.
Me: Where do you like to write your books (bed ~ coffee shop ~ an office)?
JF: I have a desk downstairs in my house where I do 95% of my writing.
Me: Describe your ideal place to write:
JF: I like my desk, actually. It’s messy and unorganized, but I have plenty of room for all my notes, books, and a place to play music while I write.
Me: What are you reading @ the moment?
JF: Just finished Alice Sebold’s THE LOVELY BONES. It was amazing.
Me: Where do you usually read?
JF: On my couch with my feet tucked into a blanket. It’s one of my favorite things to do, naturally.
Me: Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
JF: No, I can’t read more than one book at a time. I like to get absorbed in the world/characters and I don’t want others to distract me.
Me: Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
JF: Yes. I read it far less critically. When I read fiction, especially in my genre, it’s hard to turn my inner editor off. I can do that with nonfiction, though.
