\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

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

Hey hey! I’m Jennifer Daniels. I write Fantasy\/Romance books. I’m from Upstate, NY in the Adirondack Mountains! My debut book Opalla, was published in October 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are four books in Opalla. In the fourth book I had a hard time writing Poppy’s character. She is very happy go lucky, meets people easily and that is so not me. I had a hard the trying to relate to her character. <\/span><\/p>\n

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I keep a book bible of all of my books and I try not to repeat things that I have already done. I switch things up between writing a romance for one book than maybe switch up the next book to be a fantasy book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a break and walk away if your drained. Go do something fun or just walk away. There have been months before I could even sit and think of something to write.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sending days no time other days it could be hours. It just depends on the characters and what they are saying to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lyndy is my favorite character in the Opalla book. She is alot like myself and I could relate well with her. It felt natural to write about her.<\/span><\/p>\n

If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always have a hard time with this question. Because in my head the female characters are my family members (in a way) I have to have a mental picture of a person and it’s always my family. And my male character is always my husband. Opalla would be cool and there are four books in the series😋<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your definition of success?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For me writing became my therapy after my last back surgery. Writing made me feel like I had accomplished something and I hadn’t felt that way in a very long time. My success was personal and it helped me be me again.<\/span><\/p>\n
