\"C.J.<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m C.J. Pinard… I write paranormal and contemporary romance and work a crazy, insane day job that I can’t quit. But very soon, I’ll be retiring early! Until then, though, I’ll continue to stay up late at night writing my stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Music is a must. I prefer to write at night when it’s dark and quiet. My go-to snack is caramel and cheddar popcorn and vodka. (Don’t ask, it works)<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you favorite things about attending signings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The atmosphere! Everyone is always so happy and excited to be there. The positivity lifts my spirits and fills my soul with happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen King. I’d pick his brain for hours (until he threatens to kill me).<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, hell no. I’m a binge writer. I put up a preorder then write the book in like two weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The day a reader posted that they tattooed my name\/book on their body and tagged me in a post to show it off. I almost passed out. It’s kinda tied with the day I hit the USA Today bestseller list with my Enchanted Immortals box set. Also, almost passed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why people always ask this question? LOL! Kovah Soul Seeker is a pretty awesome book, I must say. It was supposed to be a novella about a character from my Death’s Kiss series… I kept getting messages asking if the guy was gonna get his own book, so I obliged, thinking, “Eh, I’ll just write a novella about him.” 80,000 words later, the dude would NOT shut up in my head. It’s my longest book to date.<\/span><\/p>\n
