How I write:
Hard question. How do get I ideas? What is my routine? I usually put in about six to eight hours a day on projects ranging from my blog, blogs I'm guesting on, articles, and of course the novels. I am currently editing a stand alone, Magic Man; as well writing the third book in The Dead Men series, Dead Men Feel the Heat. Then there is Twitter and Facebook which take up an amazing amount of time.

Motivation- (why you write?)
I wasn't given a choice. I was born with the ability to take imaginary
people, create their worlds and give them voices. If I stop doing
that, then their voices die and they are never allowed to breath in the
real world.
Your Book-

Love the Douglas Fairbanks influence. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThat photo of me, is sitting on Doug's grave after bringing him flowers. I try to visit whenever I'm in LA.
DeleteVery cool! Congrats to Jacqui.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's been an amazing ride. Hope you enjoy the book.
DeleteLooks like a great read! Best of luck to you, Jacqui!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate that. And I hope you enjoy it. ^,,^
DeleteHello again, Jacqui. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHello, hello. Nice to see you!!
DeleteCongrats, Jacqui! I aspire to be a crazy cat lady, although I think I need more than the four cats I have. :)
ReplyDeletePlan to be crazy cat lady, fairly simple: get more cats and talk to them as if they are human. I'm an expert at it. ^,,^
DeleteI love your motivation. I believe the majority of writers share that. It's been great seeing Jacqui around.
ReplyDeleteEveryone deserves a voice. Even if it's in my head. I like writing their stories down for them.
DeleteI know what you mean. If you're truly a writer, you can't not write. Your characters won't leave you alone till you do. :)
ReplyDeleteI took a Dead Men break, kind of a vacation for the mind, and I've been working with other characters on a story I will never but never forget. I never forget them once they are in my head. Monday it's back to Dead Men. Travis' story.
DeleteYou certainly put in a full day of work as a writer!
ReplyDeleteYeap. And I love it. Have my cats, I have my tea the cats steal and I have the stories. Pretty sweet deal. Best of luck.
DeleteThe fact that this book is published by something called Bodycount is a dead giveaway (HA!) that I'd like this book. I have a feeling it has a bit of humor in it, too. Good luck, Jacqui! (from a fellow crazy cat lady)
ReplyDeleteYou put Jason in a room and yeap, you will have humor. Hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI always love a fellow crazy cat lady.
ReplyDeleteWe must stick together to rule the world one cat at a time. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother crazy cat-lady here. I have five and one who decided to adopt me, so that makes six. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs I push the cat over from the keyboard ...
DeleteSounds like a great book! Love the cover too! It was great to meet Jacqui and learn more about her and her writing. :) Wishing her the best of luck!

Thank you for all those nice things, and yes, I liked how the cover took a non traditional look. I hope we meet again.
DeleteOoh! I'm such an easy mark for Vampire books. How can I squeeze that one into the reading cue? *starting up Time Stopper*
ReplyDeleteI hope you like my guys as they follow the beat of different drummer. As Jason, Book II, said "We were all wired different when we were turned." Hope you enjoy and do drop me a note of who you like best.

ReplyDeleteLolz! This iz'a good coverage. Great post. Gotta check this first time. Interesting blog. Keep Sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Hope it brought something insightful t... though I'm just a woman with five cats who talks to herself. Totally normal ... LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite a relationship! Great and eerie cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks on the cover. We decided to go in a new direction of vampire novels. All the Dead Men have cemetery covers. Glad you liked it.
DeleteYay, another crazy cat lady! Welcome to the club. I love this author already :-)
ReplyDeleteHey thanks. I've got three with ten feet of me know. I just wish they would stop typing.
DeleteCongratulations, Jacqui! Love the pretense and the cover...plus anyone who loves cats is tops in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. Glad you liked the cover, too.
DeleteAs usual, your reviews are really interesting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
They are fun, that's for sure. My fav is hearing which Dead Man is a readers fav.
DeleteIt is indeed great to be able to share to people our thoughts via books and other write-ups. Keep up the great work!
