AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH JENNIFER BURROWS

Today is DAY 2 in our month long giveaways and author spotlights. Please check out the author interview belong with Jennifer and 3 of her books are currently on sale.





Q. For the readers that haven't heard about you, can you tell us a little about yourself?

A. I am a  Registered Nurse, and hold a Master’s degree in Nursing Administration. I have 15 years of experience working in the Emergency Room and the Intensive Care Unit of a major trauma center.  While I am equally adept at all facets of patient care, Emergency room nursing is my passion, and is the inspiration for this story and A Shot in the Dark. I have since written the sequel to the Dark series, Into the Light.  In addition, I am currently working on the Surrender Trilogy.  With Books 1 (Surrender), and Book 2 (Shattered) now available. I reside in Southern California with my husband and  three amazing boys.  I also love the outdoors, camping, and traveling.

Q. What/Who inspired you to write your first book?
A. The story actually came to me while I was waiting standby in an airport one day. Before I knew it, I had written six chapters. That’s usually what happens, a story pops in my head while I’m in a random place and I’m forced to write it.

Q. How did you come up with the name of your current books?
A.  I usually come up with the title while I’m writing the story. Shattered is my newest release and was originally supposed to be called Survived. However, another author has books called Surrender and Survivor and I didn’t want to be accused of anything, so I entitled it Shattered because the characters entire life is being Shattered.

Q. Have you thought about writing any other genre? If so, which genre?
A. Yes, I’ve thought about going strictly Thriller. I really am tired of writing sex scenes.

Q. You mentioned you are tired of writing sex scenes is there a reason?
A.  I feel like that have become redundant. I want to try something else for a while. I do enjoy writing them while I`m doing it though.

Q. If you had to pick one character from your books which one would you say was
your favourite? Can you tell us why?
A. Kate from the Surrender Trilogy. She is so strong and has endured so much but continues to fight. I love that about her. *** I love this about Kate also***

Q.  With your latest book 'Shattered' which was released yesterday (December 1st
2014), what did you enjoy most about writing it? Was there any part(s) that was
your least favourite?
A. My favorite part was how it just came to me as I was writing it. I didn’t expect it to go to the dark places it did, but once I went there, it was so easy to write and felt like the natural progression. It really is a great story and I can’t wait for the readers to find out how Kate and Tony’s story ends.

Q. We understand that reviews are very important to authors. Do read your reviews?
Do you respond to them even though they are bad?
A. Reviews are important to me and I read them. Some I take with a grain of salt. Others, I adjust my future works according to their advice. For example, I’ve been receiving amazing reviews of Surrender, but I had no idea there were tons of spelling errors until a recent review. I had a new editor for that book and she did a lousy job. I’m now going back through it and combing it for errors before rereleasing it this month. I’ve responded to some poor reviews but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.


Q. Can you tell the readers why they should take a chance by reading your work in 40 words or less?
A. Surrender is an amazing story that is so unique. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and will not leave you disappointed. Please take that leap of faith.

Q. What are you most thankful during your journey as an author?
A. The fact that I continue to grow as a writer. I love what I do and I love hearing feedback from
people how get lost in my stories.

Q. How can readers get in contact with you or find out more about
your books?
A.  I love to receive feedback and answer questions. My
