Snippet from Baby Mine

Jealousy speared through my heart, making me wish my childhood had been that way. From the moment my sperm donor walked out our door, my mother became a stranger. I would still fight for her return until I took my last aching breath.

 

 

 

I am a 22 year old girl from Essex, UK. I have worked as a support worker for the elderly and those with learning disability since I left college in 2011. I have been writing poetry and short stories since I was three, publishing my poems through my school when I was seven. I have always loved writing and I don’t see myself ever stopping. In 2016 I will hopefully begin my university course in midwifery, my other dream. Between writing and working fulltime as a midwife, I know I’ll be happy.

I am also the organiser of the Essex Author Extravaganza 2016, the first Essex author event, that will bring authors from all over the globe to one place. I am very proud of myself for all of my achievements. I currently have three full length novels self published and Baby Mine will make that four.

Interview with Shannon Dobson

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What were you like at school? 

I was a nerd. I never got detention and focused on my studies. I wasn't the popular child but I never let it get to me because I enjoyed class. 

Were you good at English?

 

Yes. I loved my English teacher so that helped a lot. She was strict but pushed me to to do well. 

What genre are your books?

 

Romance/erotica/a little BDSM in the lockdown series

What draws you to this genre?

 

The intensity and the escapism from the real world 

So, what have you written?

 

I have written three books in one series, the LockDown Series and Baby Mine, book 1 in The Amour Series 

How much research do you do?

 

When it comes to real issues I research a lot. In the LockDown series there is scenes of drug abuse and I researched online about it a lot. My browser history would've probably got me arrested. 

When did you decide to become a writer?

 

When I was a child. At 3 I started writing poems and receiving awards for them at school and quickly moved on to short stories. I've always said to my mum and dad I wanted to be an author or an archeologist.

What made you decide to sit down and actually start something?

 

My family gave me the confidence and seeing self published authors doing it I decided why not.  

Do you write full-time or part-time?

 

Part time. I work 60-80 hours a week as a support worker. 

Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?

 

No. It's more of a 'when I'm awake enough' or not working. 

Do you write every day, 5 days a week or as and when?

 

Maybe twice a week. 

Do you aim for a set amount of words/pages per day?

 

No pressure. I write what I can. Most of the world famous authors, like Stephen King, write 1k words a day maximum. It's not about quantity it's about quality. 

Where do the your ideas come from?

 

My deviant mind ;) 

Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer just see where an idea takes you?

 

I've never planned or written anything down about my books. I've just used my imagination and gone with it. 

What is the hardest thing about writing?

 

Finding the time and peacefulness. 

What is the easiest thing about writing?

 

Telling my characters story 

How long on average does it take you to write a book?

 

3-6 months of writing 

Who designed your book cover/s?

 

I do all my covers myself 

If you could write with any other author who would it be and why?

 

Tiffany Riesz. I idolise the woman. She is a goddess at writing. 

ABOUT YOUR BOOK

What made you start writing Baby Mine?

I have read so many billionaire romances where the guy is a jerk or a self obsessed twat. I wanted to write about a man with lots of money but an enormous heart for the girls to fall in love with. 

Is Dustin a real person? If so can I have his number

 

There's a Dustin out there for everyone. He may not have the millions and flashy houses, but there's a man who'll treat you just as well. 

If you had 24hrs with Dustin, what would you do?

 

Go to a diner, eat burgers and fries. Walk along the beach and the rest is... Well I don't kiss and tell ;) 

What made you come up with your characters names?

 

I love using baby name lists. I like unusual names for my characters, names most people don't know or haven't heard much of. 

Is Baby Mine based on real life?

 

In a lot of ways yes. Some of the story definitely has happened to many people. Drug abusing mother, psycho ex girlfriend, unplanned baby. A lot of people have been there. 

How many book’s do you plan for these Series?

 

How ever many my crazy mind makes up. So far I have three books planned in my head just need to get it down on paper.

Blog Tour for Larkin's Letters and Ryan's Letters by Jax Jillian!!!

 

   

 

"I left you something on the nightstand," she said.

"You did? What is it?"

"Just turn over and look," she pleaded.

He turned over to look, hesitantly, not wanting to look away from her. She always seemed to disappear every time he looked away. A manila envelope lay atop the white rustic nightstand and the word "Ryan" that was penned across the front was beckoning him. He glared at the envelope for just a moment before turning back to her. But she was gone.

As Ryan Boone struggles to come to grips with not being able to keep a promise he made to his dying wife, Larkin's Letters propels readers into the mind of Ryan as he struggles with frequent visits from her ghost and a series of letters she leaves behind. Ryan worked hard to become one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, but no matter how busy or famous he became, he always remained loyal to his childhood best friend, Larkin James. When Larkin is diagnosed with leukemia, Ryan sacrifices his career to be by her side and in turn realizes how much he had always loved her. Throughout Larkin's sickness, Ryan promised that he wouldn't let her die alone. But we learn that not all of our promises are within our control.

My dearest Larkin. Help me. I'm drowning.

It has been almost eight months since the love of his life, Larkin, passed, and Ryan Boone has tried to make good on his promise to her to keep living. The letters she left behind had helped him tremendously, but all of a sudden, he felt like he was drowning and only she could save him. The only way he could think to reach out to her was to write her letters, just like she did to him. He never thought that she would actually get them; after all, she was gone. But when he sees her sitting on their private dune reading his letter, his grief would never be the same.

Ryan's Letters, the sequel to Jax Jillian's first novel, Larkin's Letters, takes readers on a journey with Ryan Boone as he struggles to completely come to terms with his wife's death. That struggle becomes even harder when Larkin's ghost comes to visit him each time he writes to her. But when Lux, a beautiful new doctor, moves in next door and befriends Ryan, he must choose between Larkin's visits and a potential new love.
