Lisa Renee Jones        

JJBC~Do you read your own books after they make it to final print?

LRJ~No- by the time I've gone through all the many parts of the publishing process, I've read them so many times, I feel like I can't read them again. And then-- if I do -- I'm terrified I will find something we missed or something I hate, which will only make me fret. And I am good at fretting!


JJBC~What do you like to Read? Your Favorite Genre?

LRJ~I love all genres. I think historical is my best escape because I don't write it so I don't think about craft. I just escape and enjoy. But I love contemporary and paranormal reads! Lori Foster and Sherrilyn Kenyon are two favorites.


JJBC~Do you have a favorite book /series?

LRJ~Kenyon is probably my favorite. I just love how she makes me laugh outloud in the middle of such dark moments.


JJBC~Did you always want to be a writer?

LRJ~No but I did some independent films and some stage and I think it was the creativeness in me trying to find expression


JJBC~How old were you when you began to write?

LRJ~Late 30's-- I owned a business I was about to sell and it allowed me to get back in touch with my creative side


JJBC~Is writing your full time job?

LRJ~It is.


JJBC~What’s a typical writing day for you like?

LRJ~I get up at 10ish and drink coffee and watch a little news. Then I do the misc admin stuff life and writing demands. I typically start writing about 1pm and then break around 8pm to run and workout.


JJBC~~Do you set a daily writing goal?

LRJ~Yes. I do. Depends on the project but I keep a schedule that has deadlines on it and the daily count needed to get there.


JJBC~Where do you like to write?

LRJ~It changes, I go through stages where I love a bookstore and times when I need to be in my office at home. Even times when my fluffy chair works and times when my desk works.


JJBC~Are there any processes you use when writing? Do you keep journals, sticky notes, chicken scratch on the back of receipts?

LRJ~I keep sticky notes taped to my desk with eye color and hair and stuff like that. But for an ongoing series I keep a word file with a details glossary.


JJBC~Do you prefer to write on a computer, typewriter, or paper and pen?

LRJ~I have a notebook computer that goes everywhere with me -- even to bed for a while before I sleep.


JJBC~What are you reading at the moment?

LRJ~I just got a Rachel Gibson novel on Audio. Can't wait to start it at the gym tonight!


JJBC~Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

LRJ~Just keep going. Keep reading. Keep writing. Stay open to advice and growth. Don't give up. I've had a lot of blows. I am not an overnight success. It's tough but if you want it, keep writing.

SANTA BABY

JJBC~Can you tell you tell us a little bit about Santa Baby?

LRJ~Santa Baby is my December release and its book 4 in the Dressed to Thrill Blaze mini-series. It's a fun story with a heroine finds her sexy side when she ends up, through a mishap, in a Marilyn Monroe costume.



JJBC~How did you come up with the idea for this series? From a dream, from watching tv, while reading another book?

LRJ~This is a mini-series I was invited to join and was honored and thrilled to be a part of. The authors are very talented. The premise was already set so I had fun coming up with my costume mishap.

JJBC~Did you have to do any type of research before writing this book?

LRJ~The heroine is a lot like me -- funny stuff happens to her. I really think she is more like me than any character I've written. No research needed!



JJBC~Who’s your favorite character and why?

LRJ~I'd say this one simply because I related to her.


JJBC~Are any of your characters based on people in your life?

LRJ~Just this one!
