If you spend much time around this blog, you probably know that I discovered Jill Shalvis early this year, and she has quickly established herself a place among my absolute favorite contemporary romance authors. Well, today, I have the privilege of interviewing her, as part of the Summer with Jill Shalvis blog tour! Everyone give a warm welcome to Jill Shalvis.
  How on earth do you write such amazing heroes in every book? I'd love to spend a day in your imagination. Well it’s a busy place in my imagination. J As for the heroes, I read a romance for the hero so it’s important to me that I write a romance for the hero as well. I’m glad you think they’re amazing, thank you!How do you name your characters? Do they just come to you, or do you have a list or website you go to when naming?The heroes sort of name themselves. But whenever I hear a great name, I jot it down and save it. I have a whole drawer filled with little bits of paper that I occasionally sort through when I need inspiration.Chocolate: Dark, milk, or white?ALL.Thank you so much for interviewing with me, Jill! (And I'm in total agreement about the chocolate. :D) |
Don't forget to check out Jill's upcoming release, Forever and a Day, the latest in the Lucky Harbor series, to be released on July 31. You can also read my thoughts about it here. (Preview: I loved it! Amazing hero, smoldering chemistry, beautiful romance, super cute kid. My favorite in the second set of Lucky Harbor books.) Don't want to wait? Lucky Harbor #5, At Last is already out, and it's a great one.Also, in case you missed the news, Jill announced yesterday that three more Lucky Harbor books will be coming in the future! If everyone had similar reactions to me, I know that this news probably generated a small earthquake due to the thousands of happy!dances going on across the world.
