Fiona, thanks so much for inviting me to stop be your blog. Am
so thrilled to be here. :-)
As Harlequin Mills & Boon’s newest Romance/Cherish author,
I’m still walking on the clouds and pinching myself, making sure this is all
real. I’ve had a dream most of my life to write stories to share with the world
and at last my dream has come true.
I write emotionally stirring romances that will bring a tear to
your eye and a smile to your heart with each happily-ever-after. If you want to
read more about me, you can check out my website: www.jenniferfaye.com (soon to be

The following answers pertain to my first sale to Harlequin
Romance / M&B Cherish. Squee!!!
Q.
What is the working title of your next book?
“RANCHER TO THE RESCUE”
Available July 2013 U.S./U.K.
Q. From where did the idea come?
The story was something I developed
this summer for the Harlequin Romance Fast Track. I couldn’t actually tell you
where the idea came from. It started with the heroine being in the worst
possible position and grew from there.
Q. Under which genre does your book fall?
I write for Harlequin Romance /
Mills & Boon Cherish. I love the emotional depths you are able to explore
within the line—from smiles and laughs to the occasional damp eye. Talk about
an emotional rollercoaster with a happily-ever-after.
Q: Which actors would you choose to play the part of your characters for
a movie?
I’d
picture Isla Fisher as my heroine Meghan.
And
for the hero, I’d say he’s similar in looks to Adam Rodriguez from ‘CSI Miami.’
Q. What is a one sentence synopsis of your book?
When a big, splashy wedding goes
awry, the runaway bride is aided by a reluctant rancher, but their adventure
has only just begun and as their complications mount, they’ll find out that their
future plans are about to be revised in ways neither of them could have ever
predicted.
Q. Will you self-publish or be represented by an agent?
This book will be traditionally
published via Harlequin Mills & Boon.
Q. How long did it take to write the first draft?
Honestly, not long at all. At the
time I was working one-on-one with my now-editor and I had deadlines to meet. I’ve
always worked best under pressure. Shhh…don’t tell my editor. :-) If you’d like to see how it unfolded. You can read about “The
Call” here:
Q: With which books within your genre would your story compare?
I’m really hoping that it is
different and that’s the reason my editor and Harlequin Mills & Boon has
brought me onboard.
Q: Who or what inspired you to write this book?
To be honest, the inspiration behind
this book had absolutely nothing to do with my characters. I was currently
working with a fabulous editor at Harlequin Mills & Boon and I wanted to
keep working with her. So I had to come up with a great story, something that
would make her sit up and take notice. So she inspired me to write a fresh
story with a unique twist.
Q: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
Although the story is set in the
American Southwest, it has a contemporary feel with a celebrity cook, who likes
to turn up the heat in the kitchen. Things definitely never get boring for
these two.
Fiona, thanks so
much for having me as your guest!!! I’ve had a great time visting.
