1.Where were you born and where do you call
home?
I grew up on a farm in Iowa
and now I spend my time in Omaha ,
NE. Colorado
2.Tell us about something that
has just/recently happened in your life that you would like to share?
LOL. I work as a Director of Accounting and Human
Resources during the day and the last few weeks, I’ve spent all my waking hours
crunching numbers. I don’t think many
people expect a romance writer to work as an accountant; they really are in two
separate universes.
3.you had to
sum up plastic hearts in 30 or less words, what would you say?
It’s
a story about finding yourself, learning about true love and letting go of
stereotypes and following your heart.
Sometimes we find what we need when we’re not looking…
4. If you gave
Alex and Dane an opportunity to speak for themselves, what would they say?
Well,
I think Alex would say that she is sorry for all the pain and upset she caused
you in Plastic Hearts and Dane would say that he is grateful for all the love
he’s been getting from the ladies but his heart belongs to Alex.
5. If your book
was made into a TV series or Movie, what actors would you like to see playing
your characters? Please send
me pics lol!!!
I see Alex
as Britt Robertson...
I see Dane
ad Jed Hill…
6. List 3 books
you just recently read and would recommend to readers?
I didn’t read this one recently but I have to
give a shout out to my favorite book of all time, The Opportunist by Tarryn
Fisher. I can’t even put into words how
much I LOVE that book. I mean I LOVE
it.
Two books I read recently that I would
recommend are Relentless by Cassia Leo and One Week Girlfriend by Monica
Murphy. They were both well told, new
adult novels that gave me the angsty feeling I love.
7. What is Your Favorite Wine?
I’m actually a beer girl. Nothing beats a cold bottle of
Leinenkugel. I also love vodka with
grapefruit juice. I like wine sometimes
but I will pick a beer over it every time.
8. Is there
an Author that you would really like to meet in person?
Probably
Tarryn Fisher..that dream is coming true next weekend in Boston
9.What authors have inspired your work?
Hmmm, this is hard. I love the great mix of humor and angst in
Colleen Hoover’s writing and her books are pure beauty; if I can be half the
writer she is, I will be happy. I also
love the symbolism in Katja Millay’s writing.
I love symbolism and books with underlying meanings and Katja does that
perfectly. And I wish I could twist
readers’ minds half as well as Tarryn Fisher.
10.
EBook, Paperback or Hardcover?
Ebook is my friend. Do you remember the days when you had to get
in the car and go to Barnes and Nobles every time you needed a new read? The Kindle was a lifesaver; if I’m bored at
11:00pm, I can just download a new book. If I love a book, though, I want it in
paperback also.
11. Are you currently working on any upcoming
projects?
I’m working on Glass Hearts for early summer
which is the continuation of Dane and Alex’s story and I’m contemplating
writing a couple books on secondary characters from Plastic Hearts. I’m also working on a top secret New Adult
novel for later this summer. I won’t
give many details at this point but I will say if you thought Plastic Hearts
twisted your heart, just wait for this one…it hurts to even write it.
Thank you for having me Doc;)
Thank You Mrs. De Jong for stopping by. Cant wait to read your next book.
Cheers,
Dr. Books
