I was given the incredible opportunity
to sit down and have some one-on-one face time with the attending authors at
the recent Houston event. It was a blast! I got to pick their brains for five
minutes each. Thanks to all of you who submitted questions, I was armed and
prepared. ~Nadine

Today’s spotlight is Jillian Dodd! You asked the questions,
she answered them. Enjoy!
What inspired you to start writing?
I had three dreams. I kept dreaming
about the same characters. So I started writing their story and I wanted to
know more, so I made it up. And that is That Boy.
What are you planning to do next?
I’m going to finish the Keatyn
Chronicles series. Book five comes out this week (Note: Book 5 is out now).
Book 6 comes out in August. Then I’m going to write one of the characters from
it; a spin-off single book. Then I’m going to finish the That Boy series.
If you could turn one of your books
into a TV series or a movie, which one would you choose?
The Keatyn Chronicles. I’m a T.V. agent
and it’s being looked at, so maybe it’ll happen sometime eventually.
What inspired your characters?
There’s so many. I have no idea what
inspired them. It almost makes you sound crazy when you talk about they talk to
you. You just have a person in your head. I think there’s a little piece of
yourself in every character. I mean even every character in the book there’s
different sides of me.
What was the time frame from start to
finish for your first book?
Seven years. I didn’t work on it the
whole time. But, publishing has changed a lot and I didn’t know what I was
doing at all and I never set out to write a book. My husband gave me an article
about the Kindle platform and he said you need to prove to our children that
you can finish a project and I am notorious for taking on a project. I have a
hutch that’s in our dining room that is half black and half a different color.
And still it’s been two years and I’m still trying to decide what color I want
it.
If you weren’t a writer, what would you
be?
I was a buyer for clothing that’s what
I did before this and I loved it.
Who do you fangirl over?
I met James Rawlings. I had lunch with
him and that was really hard not to fangirl by.
Once again the chiming of the bells
signaled my time was up.
