How can you not love someone who has an ink bottle, quill pen, cardinal, and a dogwood blossom on her website and blog?
Jennifer lives in North Carolina, and in addition to writing, she speaks on several topics related to faith, writing, and parenting special-needs children. She's also a genealogy buff. I can't wait to get to know her better.
I accidentally asked her a couple questions (okay, three) that couldn't be answered with just one word. My bad. But I still like the questions and the answers, so they stay.
And, wow! So many followup questions I want to ask!
Welcome, Jennifer!

Jennifer Hudson Taylor on One Thing
What one thing would you like to say to your readers or future readers?
Out of all the wonderful books out there and all the things to distract your attention and strangle your time, thank you for choosing my book and taking the time to read it. I hope you will enjoy it and hope you'll give my other books set in different time periods a try.
What one thing would you like to say to fellow writers or aspiring writers?
If you are unpublished, never give up on your dream of publication. God's timing will come. To all writers, don't get so caught up in the "writing rules" and judging and critiquing that you forget how to read for pleasure.
Highland warrior Bryce MacPhearson kidnaps Akira MacKenzie on her wedding day to honor a promise he made to his dying father. When he forces Akira to wed him, hoping to end a half-century feud between their clans, she struggles to overcome her anger and resentment. Yet her strength in the Lord becomes a witness to Bryce. But there is a traitor in their midst . . . and murder is the ultimate weapon. Jennifer's Website

Great interview, and still loving the one word thing! Have a great weekend, all:)
ReplyDeleteLoved the interview! Found out a lot. But there's just one thing I HAVE to know...what the heck is Fitzerina!?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd love to meet Joyce Meyer too. It's funny how much you can learn about someone with just a one word answer!
ReplyDelete@Karen: Thanks. It's interesting to see how a writer can edit those thoughts. ;)
ReplyDelete@Lynn: Yes, I'm waiting to find that out, too.
@Jan: I'm with you on that one!
Thanks everyone for stopping by. Fitzerina was my doll. Even at the tender age of 2, I was already making up names.
ReplyDeleteWith the Hilary Clinton event, I fainted because I was suffocating in the crowd and it was so hot and I hadn't eaten. Even as I was falling, all I could think about wan not getting my new white jeans dirty. I dumped my Bush sign under me, but the secret service guys dragged me by my feet under the yellow rope. You have to remember, I was just a kid in college. My priorities were a little off-clean white jeans first, save me second. Hilary had me sit on the side of the stage where she and Bill Clinton were speaking. It was her birthday. She snapped at someone and told them to get me a bottle of water. A moment I will never forget!
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to be "snapped her fingers"! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great interview! “Don't worry about what everyone else thinks; concentrate on what God thinks.” This is great advice :)
ReplyDeleteI really do enjoy reading these interviews. I like the time management tip ;)
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing up the Fitzerina mystery!I love the Hillary story.
I wonder if she would remember if we jogged her mind. ;) Certainly defining moment in your history!
The white jeans reminded me of a childhood friend rolling her little VW in our front yard. Her big concern was the holes in her nylons.
Thanks again for doing this!
@Lua: Thanks for stopping in. Yes, wise advice.
ReplyDelete@Lynda: Thanks. I'm trying to ignore that tip. ;)
what a fabulous interview! thanks so much to both of you for sharing :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Tahereh. Thanks for stopping by!
