Here is an interview with J.P.

When did you first start writing? Was being a writer something you always aspired to be?

I’ve always written but never got serious about it until about five years ago when I “retired” from work to become a stay-at-home mom.

What is your best advice based on your own experiences so far to other Authors

I would say to stay open-minded to the process and to feedback. A lot of writers get stuck on parts of their story or characters and have a hard time receiving feedback because they want it “their” way but I’ve found that your readers get so invested in your characters that their feedback is valuable and I always am willing to mold my story arc from feedback and I usually like it better after edits.

What of your own writing was your favorite piece?

I don’t know if I have written it yet. I tend to be a harsh critique of myself.

A quote by you or your Life motto?

It’s not really either. I would just say to work hard and don’t get stuck hanging out with the whiners.

What are you currently working on?

I am in the editing stage for the sequel to Ruby in the Water, and it’s called Lily in the Stone. I had very talented artists put together a trailer for it already and it can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6YOe3rMRI0
