Interview with Jacquelyn Frank and Giveaway

For the Love of Books is excited to welcome the Wonderful Jacquelyn Frank to the blog today. 


A little more about Jacki: 
Jacquelyn Frank is the New York Times bestselling author of Seduce Me in Dreams, the Nightwalkers series (Jacob, Gideon, Elijah, Damien, andNoah), the Shadowdwellers novels (Ecstasy, Rapture, and Pleasure), and the Gatherers novels (Hunting Julian and Stealing Katherine). She lives in North Carolina and has been writing romantic fiction ever since she picked up her first teen romance at age thirteen.

Jacki, Welcome to For the Love of Books.  Thank you so very much for taking time out of your very busy schedule to sit down with me and answer a few questions.  


For the Love of Books:  Your newest book Seduce Me In Flames is book 2 in your Three World Series.  Please tell us a little about it.
Jacquelyn Frank: Seduce Me in Flames brings us back to the adventures of the Interplanetary Militia in the Three Worlds universe. Rush “Ender” Blakely is part of the ETF, an Extreme Tactics Force, that aids in policing these worlds, helps in keeping the peace and seeing that everyone lives a reasonably happy existence. But when the Emperor of Allay dies, and a culture threatens to unravel, Ender finds himself in an impossible situation. He is cut off from his team with traitors amongst him, he is forced to rely only on his ETF training and Tarian heritage to protect the princess from those who would see her killed. All the while he is hiding his own secret that once exposed could threaten all that he holds dear.


FLB: How did you come up with the idea for the Three World Series? 
JFIt may sound ironic, but I came up with the idea for Seduce me in Dreams from a dream.  I saw a very powerful military man on a cold space platform having a vision of a woman that would somehow be his destiny. When I woke up, I started to write commander Bronse Chapel’s story. His team followed and then the adventure began! That’s how the Three Worlds Series came to life.

FLB: When did you know you wanted to become a writer? 
JF: Well, the bug first bit me when I was a teenager. 13 years old. I hated the lameness of the teen romances of the time and set out to do a better job.

FLB: Some writers have writing rituals.  What are some of your rituals? 
JF: I wouldn’t say that I have any kind of a ritual per say. But I do need a certain type of environment to get any work done. I can’t write if there are distractions in the house and I have to have my MUSIC!  I make up a playlist for every new book depending on what I need to motivate me.


FLB: Let’s talk Adam for a minute.  Adam is book 6 in your Nightwalker series and can I say I can’t wait to read it.  I know you get asked this a lot.  Is Adam the last in this series or do you have more Nightwalker books planned? 
JFThat is the Million Dollar Question, my dear. I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you. 😛

FLB: One more burning question about your series.  Are there plans for more JAX books?
JF: Last I heard, yep! Working on one now. Of course, anything and everything can and will change in the publishing world, so I make no promises!


FLB: What are you currently working on?  Anything you want to share about?
JF: I am currently working on a JAX title. I think. LOL! If this works out it will be a follow up to The Phoenix Project from the NOCTURNAL anthology. But refer to my caveat in the previous question!

FLB: What is the best piece of advice you have received about becoming a writer?
JF: Don’t read your own reviews!


FLB: This is a real simple question.  How are the kittens? 
JF: The Kittens are great! They are 14 weeks old now and into everything but mommy loves them. I have recently rescued 4 more feral kittens that I plan to take care of till they are ready to be adopted.


FLB:  Thank you, Jacquelyn again for letting me take up some of your time, I know that you are hard at work on your next novel. Also a Huge Thank you to Natalie for helping me coordinate all of this.    


So Jacquelyn what do you say about giving away a copy of your newest release Seduce Me In Flames to one of the commenter’s? 
JF: Yes, absolutely as soon as I get them.



Giveaway Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are we giving away?  Well, Seduce Me In Flames of course……

ICY RECEPTION Ambrea Vas Allay is the rightful heir to the throne of Allay. But when she is summoned home from exile, she discovers that her father, who had executed her mother, has died. Her young half-brother, controlled by their uncle, has taken power. Ambrea is torn by an impossible choice: renounce the crown or waste away in prison. The last thing she expects is to be liberated by a huge, tattooed Tarian—or to feel a searing passion for her mysterious rescuer.

SMOLDERING DECEPTION Rush “Ender” Blakely loves being part of the elite force of the Interplanetary Militia and the mission to save the princess Allay. But the tough Tarian hides a fiery secret—a blazing power that makes him literally too hot to handle. He must be crazy to carry a torch for this strong, beautiful princess—when any intimacy between them is bound to be explosive.

BLAZING INSURRECTION As Ambrea steels herself to take back the throne, does she dare entrust this scorching stranger with the fate of an empire—and, even more so, with her heart?

Stay Tuned for another Fun and Spicy interview with Jacquelyn Frank on October 25th.  We are talking Adam and doing a giveaway!!!  
Who is Adam you may ask?



This is Adam: 

Hunted by magic, beset by evil, the Nightwalkers face their darkest hour yet. And when the unthinkable happens, only one legendary male has the power, the will, to save them: Adam…

For 400 Years He Was Lost To Her, But He Is Hers Tonight…

From their first tantalizing touch, Jasmine knows he is different. What other lover could unlock her tight control, flood vampire senses jaded by a lifetime of decadent self indulgence? 


Centuries ago, when he disappeared without a trace, she had given up hope of ever fulfilling the promise of incomparable passion. But here he is, against the very laws of nature, ready to bring down their most vicious enemy, ready to bring her blood to the boiling point…if she will only let him.

Pleasure rules the night.

    Hey, I'm on Facebook again! Yay!

    So, fan/liker/friend on Facebook.

  15. Jacquelyn Frank July 22, 2011 at 6:54 am #

    Thanks, everyone, for your responses and your interest. 🙂 I'm so happy that FLB had me here. (I apologize for coming in late…we were away and then there was drama in the house.) Actually, ever since the girl child turned eleven there's been a lot of drama! I haven't decided yet if her sleeping in late is on equal balance with the drama. I am afraid it is going to change!

    Anyway, Kellie, do you mean which of my favorite books or heros in my own books are my favorite?

    hugs and kitties
    Jacki
