MBS Blogoversary SPOTLIGHT #3: Author Jacquie Rogers

SPOTLIGHT: AUTHOR JACQUIE ROGERS


I met Jacquie online through the SweetandSensual Romance yahoo group which is now the SweettoSensual Romance group (sadly due to spammers hacking the first group.)





Jacquie is an author of Fantasy Romance and Historical Romance.
In addition to writing fun books, Jacquie is a co-founder of the wonderful author's Resource site: 1st Turning Point

I have not yet read Jacquie's books but I have been eying this fun looking book for some time!
Down Home Ever Lovin' Mule BluesDown Home Ever Lovin' Mule Blues

Jacquie has a new novel (eBook release due in August)
Much Ado About Marshals

I asked each author to answer two questions for their spotlight.
The first I asked and the second they provided!

Question #1:  Why do you write/what do you hope your readers get from your books?

A:  My deepest desire is to create a story that is so fun and magical, no matter what the sub-genre, that it removes all the reader's cares and worries for a few hours.  It's all about the characters and the world--maybe what intrigues me will light other peoples' imaginations as well, and might even linger on for a week or two.  I hope so!
Question 2: Why do you write in so many sub-genres of Romance?

A:  Writing a book is a long process and living in a certain world for six months or so is long enough, then I want to go on.  My first western historical romance will be published this summer and actually I've written more westerns than anything else.  I'm also writing a dragon book and another faery book.  The worlds and the rules are so different.  The speech patterns are different.  It all works together to keep me on my toes and make each story fresh, each character unique, and each world that much richer.
