Today, we’re talking with Jill Haymaker about her new book, The Boy in the Pink Convertible.
Tell us something unexpected about yourself!
I was an attorney for 25 years before giving it up to write full-time.
Why do you write?
I love romance and happy endings.
Where did you get the inspiration for your current book?
My current book, The Boy in the Pink Convertible, was fun because I started with a cute photo of my two grandkids and I wrote a story to go with it.
What do you enjoy the most about your genre?
I love the romance themes of love and second chances and always a happy ending.
How would you describe your writing process?
Scattered. I'm definitely a pantser but I always seem to pull in together into a good story.
What do you think authors have to gain from participating in social media?
It's the best way to get your name out there and sell books.
What advice would you have for other writers?
Keep writing.
How do you select your books’ titles and covers?
The titles I come up with before I start writing, but the covers usually I start about halfway through the book when I have a good grasp on the story.
What's your next step?
Just keep writing.
How do you react to seeing a new review for your book?
I love reviews, although I don't read them all.
