Interview with Lindsay Paige

-




What works have you released? I've released Sweetness (in English and Spanish), I'm Yours, and Whatever It Takes will be released on June 13, 2012.

What “scene” was the most intense for you to write? There's a scene in I'm Yours where Emily experiences something really hard to deal with. That scene was so intense and would definitely be the hardest one for me to write.
Do you have any upcoming projects? As I said, Whatever It Takes is coming out in June. I'm writing a paranormal romance with Elizabeth Waldie and I'm working on a book titled Don't Panic where the main character has anxiety as I do.
What do you love the most about being an author? Besides the nitty gritty of writing? Interacting with fans! I love hearing their thoughts, whether good or bad, about my books. It all helps me learn and grow as a writer.

What inspires you to write? Life and music would be my two biggest inspirations.
What advice do you have for anyone who is interested in becoming an author? Don't let anyone stop you. I write for two reasons: myself and the reader.

What is one thing your readers should know about you? I love speaking with you! Don't be shy.
If you were to select a different career (besides writing), what would do? Help children with Asperger's in different aspects of their lives.

Aside from writing, what are your hobbies? Playing tennis, listening to music, reading, and taking pictures.
Think 3! Who or what is ____?
•  Your favorite author? I can't pick just one!
•  Your favorite book/series? Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park
•  Your biggest literary inspiration? Any author that can make me feel something is a literary inspiration. That said, Nicholas Sparks can always make me feel something.
Do you listen to music when you write? If not, do you have other muses? I do! All the time, in fact. It's a great source of inspiration.

Is there anything unique about your writing process? Not really, haha. I sit down with my laptop and music and get busy!
Which character do you most identify with? Jake because of his situation with his father.

In this new world of books made possible by the Internet, no one is left to guard the door. To tell the reader what is what. This state of affairs may introduce an element of confusion for dogmatic readers, but the good news is, new breeds of literature are being created. Self-publishing allows literature to cross over in new ways. Traditional Christian fiction publishers, for instance, disallow most references to sex, and even the most juvenile profanity. Self-publishing changes this. Not to suggest a writer should ever debase a genre—as writers we are obliged to choose our words carefully. But the old Christian book

Please enjoy this guest post by Justin Ordoñez, author of the YA novel (for 18+ readers), Sykosa . Then read on to learn how you can win huge prizes as part of this blog tour, including $550 in Amazon gift cards, a Kindle Fire, and 5 autographed copies of the book. Marketing, Or How I Proved the Existence of Hell. Self-publishing requires either A) no skills and being totally deluded as to the reality of success in the book market, or B) no skills and the reality you’re going to have to learn a lot. And that’s a simple fact. Between writing, editing, formatting, choosing a printer, choosing retailers, web development, content generation, typesetting, book trailers and the fifty other things I’m forgetting, you’re certain to encounter a challenge for which you are in no way prepared, and not only are you not prepared, your desire to become prepared hovers somewhere near the axis of zero. I discovered mine on January 11, 2012--Marketing. Marketing’s an entirely deceptive term. W

The Strong Female I am always amazed to hear that, in the year 2012, women are still talking about strong female characters. It’s funny that we’re always surprised when one comes along. Even in Hollywood, actresses still can’t find roles to sink their teeth into. As a reader, I look for characters that I can relate to in some way; a character who is more than a damsel in distress but less than an unfeeling, mean, witch. I’m putting it gently, but I’m looking for someone, who when facing a problem, doesn’t necessarily need a man to bail her out--a woman who can take care of herself in spite of her vulnerabilities. Because in reality, women are multi-layered and complex. We don’t fall to one end of an extreme o
