Short Bio: I am a full time firefighter in the state of California, an addicted trail runner, a connoisseur of all things cheese puff, and an author for BURST Books. When I'm not slogging through the obstacles at a mud run, you can find me hunched over my computer unleashing demons, vampires and werewolves upon the world.

Writing Genre: Urban Fantasy. The world is an exciting place, but it wouldn't it be even more exciting if 'Otherkind' creatures existed--like demons, werewolves, vampires and shape-shifters?

Thanks, Molly! It was such a pleasure to write. I've got your dual entries:) how long have you been a book reviewer? That sounds like a fabulous job!

Isis Rushdan said...

Love the sound of your book.

Looks like a great giveaway. Did you put it all together or did your publisher do it for you?

Wishing you many happy sales!

Cathy Coburn said...

Okay Jen, I'm starting to feel like a stalker. Way to leap out there. You have hooked me.

Isis,
I love your name! Bet you hear that all the time. I put this tour and the swag bag together myself. I love VistaPrint! Deciding on a logo was hard. I think the graphic designer ended up doing a great job though. I'll post the logo in a bit :) Ive learned a lot in just a few days into the tour, and I'm trying to pass it on to the other new authors at my publishing house. Thank you for stopping in, and good luck on the swag bag!

Thank you!

Did you use vision boards and music to help you capture the visuals of your characters?

Unknown said...

Thanks!! Again I really love how you are taking the time to answer all of us! I think that's amazing!! Not a lot of Authorsdo that! I know there times littlebut, for u to go out of your way to do this make me an instant fan! That and I love "others"

Unknown said...

Leni,
I've never been successful listening to music and writing. I find my emotions are too 'tuned' to the music. So if I'm listening to happy, and writing a fight scene...it doesn't go well for me! I'm not sure what a vision board is? I do plot out my books, I'm not a pantser. Love to hear more about a vision board!

Unknown said...

Thanks, Carrie. Your time is important, too. If you can find enough to write me, I can find some to write back. Besides, you guys are lots of fun!
