CT Oliver Review for JBR
With the huge give away going
on what item are you offering to our wonderful readers?
An ebook copy
of “Love of Truth” will be out on July 13th, 2013.
Can you tell
us a little about yourself?
I’m 25yo, but I’m mentally 16yo. I live in
the beautiful green NW and I call Portland, Or my home, but during the
summer months I am all over the west coast, spreading my time between
Seattle, Portland and San Diego.
What genres do you like to write?
Contemporary Romance.
What is your newest release?
“Love of Truth.”
What are you working on right now?
I am working on the next book in the series, “Truth”.
Any future projects you can hint about?
I am outlining a stand alone book features high school sweetheart kind of love.
As
a writer can you give an aspiring authors any advice or some of your
wisdom??
*Looks around disbelief* I am currently an aspiring author of
my own. I’m still learning the ropes and making mistakes along the way
so I don’t feel wise to give any advice. But I’ll say this, don’t ever
give up on your story. There will always be a reader out there that
wants to read it.
If you could meet one character from your
books who would it be and why?
I would love to have dinner with Cory
Patrice. He has that playboy attitude that makes him just slightly
dangerous enough that you won’t care that he will break your heart in
the morning.
Are there any other people or authors that have
inspired you or helped you along the way?
I have to say that I wouldn’t
feel confident about my story if not for a special group of ladies who
are my beta-readers/support team. One of the things I learned when I
looked into getting readers to look at my writing was that not all
blogs/reviewers want to look at your story, due to varies reasons - big
one was that they’ve never heard of me before. I thought that since I’m
self-publishing that I could bypass the rejection process that you’d get
from editors/publishers with traditional publishing, but the rejections
were there. That’s okay, it was just another lesson learned.
How
about some fun stuff?
When I do have time to do things that I like, I
surf, run and hike the mountains around Oregon. It gives me a chance to
be outside and unhook from technology. I have recently gotten into
knitting and it’s very addictive. If I can find time for it, my biggest
desire is to travel through Europe.
What is you fav activity
besides writing?
I love food. Cooking it or eating it, whatever. I love
it. I love to try new food, try out new recipes, bake pastries.
Do you own any pets?
Yes, I have little dog that thinks he’s a big man, but really he’s king of my heart.
Fav
place to travel?
I know most of the west coast like the back of my
hand so I would love to make it to the other side. I want to spend some
time in NYC and travel down the east coast, then from there make it over
the pond to the UK.
Fav author you can recommend to our
readers?
Fav book
This is such a tough question because there are so many. I think that I
will name Sylvain Reynard even though he’s well
known in this
community. His third book, “Gabriel’s Redemption” has been on my wish
list for such a long time. I love his writing, the culture and art that
are twined in the stories, and the emotions that he’s able to capture.
It’s such elegance and style.
Where can we find you and your
books (include links)
My books will be on Amazon, Smashwords and all the
marketplace that Smashwords distributes to. For more information on
