Wordlovers by Melissa Bowersock: Author Interview

As part of a blog tour, today I’m interviewing prolific author Jill Sanders, about her new book Returning Pride. This is the third in a series of books that take place in the town of Pride, Oregon. The other titles are Finding Pride, Discovering Pride and Lasting Pride.

Tell us about Returning Pride.

Everything seems to be going Iian’s way, he has a successful restaurant, a beautiful home, family, and friends. He’s even overcome the loss of his hearing, but why does he still feels like something is missing.

Allison has worked hard to make a name for herself in the art world, now all she wants is peace and quiet to work on her passion. But, with her mother overtaken by illness, she has less time than ever. When everything is stripped away in one tragic blow, and she’s being stalked by a mad-man, she’ll need the help of her hometown and an old flame, to turn everything around and find what she’s been looking for.

What are the challenges of writing a series of books about the same place?

None really. Each book still needs details and descriptions so they could stand on their own.

What are the advantages?

You get to tell other great stories about characters people grow fond of.

In all your books, who is your favorite character? Why?

Iian Jordan. Because he is so damn sexy. He was also my most challenging, because he is deaf.

What's your favorite non-writer thing to do for fun?

Hang with my family, play in the sun with them and my dogs and take pictures.

What's next on the horizon? What projects do you have planned?

I'll be editing Lasting Pride and getting it ready for its release in October. Then I'm starting on Katie's story and the next three books in a new series. In this new series there will be adventure, excitement, a little sci-fi & paranormal activities, and as always, romance.
