Author Interview:
Where did you come up with the inspiration
for Eleven Weeks?
The idea for Eleven Weeks was sort of twofold, I guess. First, I’d decided I wanted to do a novella to make the Crazy in Love series a three-book experience. My good friend and writerly co-conspirator Stacey Nash (also an author, of a whole heap of talent) suggested I write about Stacey and Michael.
The idea for Eleven Weeks was sort of twofold, I guess. First, I’d decided I wanted to do a novella to make the Crazy in Love series a three-book experience. My good friend and writerly co-conspirator Stacey Nash (also an author, of a whole heap of talent) suggested I write about Stacey and Michael.
At
first, I was hesitant. A few people had noted that they found the character of
Stacey (the best friend of my protagonist, Kate, in The Problem With Crazy) to be a little unlikeable, but then it gave
me the best plan ever. I could use this to show why at times she was a little
distant or hostile. This could be Stacey’s redemption!
I
believe a lot of things happen to make us the way we are, and hopefully this
gives people some insight as to why Stacey wasn’t always there for Kate in book
one of the series.
Who is your writing hero?
If I
could be any author, it would be hands down Colleen Hoover. I adore her work,
and I love her style – for me, writing is all about producing books that make
people feel, and that’s what her
titles always do to me, by the bucket-load! I don’t want to be the next Proust
or Malouf – I just want to offer people escapism and connect with them
emotionally. If I can come even halfway close to that, I’ll be stoked.
What’s next for the Crazy in Love series?
Well,
book three, The Problem With Heartache,
is out February 26, and will see Kate do a little bit of a road trip as she
travels to America with a massive rock ‘n’ roll band. It’s a dual POV book,
which was a really fun challenge for me, as I’ve never written from a masculine
perspective before. It was super fun.
Fast five:
Beer or wine: Wine.
MC or paranormal: Oh, tough one! Most likely MC, but I do love me some good
paranormal reads!
Indie or traditional: I’m hybrid published, so I’d say both!
Chocolate or candy: Chocolate … but right now I’m on a health kick, so please don’t
tempt me!
Rock or pop: Bit of both please. There’s no reason I can’t have a side of
Taylor Swift with my alternate music!
I just got The Problem with Crazy, so winning Eleven Weeks would be great. I've read Finding Home and really enjoyed it and can't wait to read more of Lauren's books. Great interview, and thanks for the giveaway :)
