Interview

Welcome to Kelly P’s Blog!

Hi Kelly! This is Mel from the Jessie Lane duo and I just wanted to say thanks for having me before we get started.

How did you come up with the title of your book? The title is actually something Crystal came up with. Each book is named after its main character, how they tie into a certain family affiliation via a certain nautical star birthmark, and their ability or fae power. The Burning Star is for Kay and her scorching fire while the The Frozen Star represents Kay’s freezing touch.

Who designed the cover of your book? Crystal designs all of the Jessie Lane book covers. She enjoys the challenge of flexing that creative muscle in trying to recreate a character in a picture for readers to see.

How long did it take you to write this book? Too long actually, but after all the personal things I went through at the same time as trying to write this book, I would say seven months total of actual writing and research.

How do you cope with writer’s block? Music and lots of coffee. I tend to daydream a lot because I’m playing a scene in my head like a movie. I keep rewinding it and watching it from different angles with different lines to find the perfect match.

Do you have a favorite line or quote in this book?  It’s a line Kane says to Kira during one of their intimate conversations. “One. Only One. And only one woman will ever see them. Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you my Princess?”

What inspired you to write this book? Wanting to see the characters overcome the obstacles in their paths. I saw it happen a few different ways and I wasn’t sure which path I was going to take until I finished one scene and started the next. Sometimes it felt like the characters took over my body and wrote themselves.

Describe the cover in 10 words or less.  Haunting, cold and beautifully distant.

If you could sum your main character into five words, what would they be? Strong, Curious, Independent, Beautiful and Survivor.

If your book was made into a TV series or Movie, which actors would you like to see playing your characters? I would have to say that for Kay I would like Shailene Woodley. She’s a great actress and I love her work in Divergent and The Fault in our Stars. She would just have to dye her hair really red. For Kira I can see Saoirse Ronan with her blonde locks. Have you seen her in Hanna? She was awesome. And for Skye I think Emma Stone would rock.
What are you working on right now? In case you missed the announcement made on the Jessie Lane website, I’ve decided to depart from Jessie Lane to pursue other things. Right now I am currently working on a few solo projects and a collaboration with my brother. I am starting my own romantic comedy that I am aiming for the first two books to be out by fall and a zombie apocalypse novel which will be the first in the trilogy, will be available soon.



The Frozen Star
Book #2 in the Star series
by Jessie Lane
Release Day: May 29, 2014
Blurb:
The journey continues:
Kay had discovered secrets, lies, shocking truths, and even love in a strange new world hidden from humans. Everything she thought she knew was turned upside down when she found out three things:

- She wasn’t human.
- She has a power she can't control.
- And there was a possibility that she had found a way to cure the cancer that was rapidly killing her with that very same power.

Then, just when she was on the precipice of gaining everything she wanted and saving her own life, tragedy struck. Will she be able to fight her way back to Ryan and save herself in the process?

Kira had lived a terrifying and confusing life of servitude and abuse under Lord Donovan and his son, Cole. It was an existence that had stripped away her emotions, and eventually, her reason to keep fighting. Just when she thought freedom was within reach, Lord Donovan struck again, ruining her plans and almost killing her in the process. When she awoke from her injuries, it was to stunning revelations that would change her life forever. Changes that she was not entirely sure she wanted to embrace.

Persistent individuals such as Prince Kane refuse to let her walk away, though. Will she embrace all of the sudden fortune in her life? Or will she walk away from those who need her most, forsaking their acceptance and love?
(will be made available when the book is published)
