Is this what you want me to blog about?

2/18/2014

Lately, I've been thinking hard about what I should write on my blog. I tried to put myself in your shoes - tried to remember what I feel as a regular reader and not a combination of reader/author.

So, say I'm visiting the site of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the authors of the Pendergast series (you guys should check it out. He's the swoon-worthiest FBI agent I know. Honestly, I think he's A LOT sexier than James Bond. :D). Anyway, when I visit their page, these are the stuff that I'd like to know ---

When's the next book going to come out?
What are other future books that I can look forward to?
Are they going to collaborate with other authors which means Agent Pendergast gets to interact with other authors' characters?
Do they have free books I can download?
Are there contests of theirs I can join?
I want more scenes - rather than just interviews - written about the everyday life of Agent Pendergast!
What other books can they recommend that are like Agent Pendergast's series?
Any events of them online or offline I can attend?

Now - my question is: do you feel the same? Because if you say yes, then I'll start blogging more about stuff like that.

Well, I agree. Those are some of the questions that I personally find myself asking when I think or read about my favorite authors. There are of course some other questions that run through my mind, but then again knowing the answers to these basic questions will definitely receive a two thumbs-up from the fans. :) Other info will be a bonus though. ^_^

Hi Masako! What kind of other info would you like to read more about? I'm really curious! :)

HECK YES!!! You are wonderful, you are awesome, you are great. I love you. I honestly do. One of my top 5 favorite authors right now. Your existence is swoon worthy. BLESS YOUR PARENTS FOR PUSHING YOU OUT INTO THIS WORLD!!!

2/19/2014 01:25:58 am

Haha that is so nice of you to say, Jira! Thank you for considering me as one of you fave five authors! :D

I know I would LOVE any info on any stories you have going on in that amazingly creative brain of yours! I have an ENORMOUS TBR pile (not even exaggerating--I have enough to last me years) but I jump on your books as soon as they come out! I would love to know what to look forward to!

2/19/2014 01:27:26 am

Aww Judy! That's one of the nicest things a reader can say so definitely - thank you!!! :D I'll write more posts about future books then. =D

2/19/2014 02:18:37 am

Just curious stuff. Like if I'm gonna be asking you, first thing I'm gonna ask is, "When you describe a guy in your books, is it all from your imagination or do you look at a picture of some REALLLLY HOT guy as inspiration?" :) things like that. ^_^
Afterwards I'll probably ask you where I can stalk you. *_* (if there's a way that sentence can sound less creepy, please imagine that version) ^_^

2/19/2014 03:31:52 am

Haha okay I think I get your drift now. :D And not creepy at all! I stalk my fave authors, too! :D

I actually look at your site everyday to see when new things are released. that is the only bad thing about reading your books...waiting for more! But as you probably can't invent the time machine (uhh, unless you can ^_^), then i will just have to wait. yeah, already devoured Jason and Keanne, and tonight will be Heart Racer. But yes, I do love release dates. I also like to see if a author has a street team or not. I do like little short stories visiting the couples, seeing what they are doing and have been up to once they have their HEA. (one author i read, Roxie Rivera, actually did a christmas anthology with stories from all the couples of her Russian Protector series, and it was awesome. so, something like that would be awesome. You are the "bestest" ^_* author ever, and i will read whatever you blog, kinda no matter what it is!

2/19/2014 03:34:21 am

Hi Christy! Thanks for such an informative answer! Super appreciate it. And sigh - I was planning something like that too for last Christmas but I just couldn't get to fit it in my sked. Maybe this year it will be different! =D Oh, and I have a street team - currently closed to new members coz I only started it a few months back and there are things I need to iron out first but I will have openings for it again soon. =D I hope you enjoyed JNK and I'm definitely interested in hearing what you have to say about Heart Racer! =D Thank you again for taking the time to answer my question! :)

I just finished reading Heart Racer and I am surprised that it is a "to be continued". This is the first time I have read you as an author and your stories have the right touch of drama, romance, sex and a roadblock to happiness. I would like to see more info on your soon to be released books, name of book in case I want to order it, some exciting excerpts and if there are any other books in this series. For example in Heart Racer, their was reference of Derek and Jaike, I could not find a book any place of their story. Was one written? Nor could I find the Title of Leandro and Bobbys next book. This are the tidbits I look forward in a writers blog.

3/3/2014 01:05:04 am

Hi Maureen. First of all thank you so much for taking the time to write to me and I'm so glad you enjoyed reading Leandro and Bobby's story. As of now, the second half of their story is untitled yet but its original draft is done and will still be out on March 28. As for Derek and Jaike, the first half of their story is titled Unwillingly Yours and you'll actually see them playing minor roles in Nick and Lilac, too. Lastly, as for excerpts - I tend to release them via my newsletter first but repost them on my blog.

Thank you for letting me know what you want to read from my blog - they are all really good suggestions so I'll definitely take note of it! =D

it would fun to have a section here on your website for those of your fans dedicated enough to come here and read your blog, similar to what you get on the extended version of a Dvd. Deleted scenes that maybe just didn't fit the way you wanted; do authors have bloopers?; author commentary about certain scenes that she is particularly proud of/ driven crazy by/ thought you'd never get done with etc. What do you think?

3/12/2014 02:01:14 pm

Hi Kathy! Those are the best suggestions ever so I'm taking note! TY again!

3/25/2014 10:32:31 pm

Thanks for the deleted scene from Forgiving a Greek Billionaire. It was wonderful!

Is the follow up to Derek and Jaike available on Amazon? If so, what is the title? I'm interested in seeing how you completed their story. I've done a search in the Amazon store and wasn't able to find anything that looked like the rest of their story.

4/20/2014 01:52:32 am

I'm so sorry for the late reply. Its title is Meant to be Yours and it will be out in late May! Hope you can still wait for it! 😊

I read your bundle Eternally Seduced and loved it. Was disappointed that Mary tended to end without closure. What happen with Mary and her billionaire?

4/20/2014 01:56:16 am

Hi Evelyn. They have a second story coming out in June. The boxed set, you see, is under my publisher's copyright while the second story is mine so I couldn't include it in the boxed set. Sorry but I hope you can still wait for it! 😝
