Featured Interview With J.A. Roth
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in San Francisco, CA, and raised in Sonoma County, where my husband and I still reside to this day with our family. I have three kids, two sons and one daughter. We have two dogs, a boxer named Bella and a long haired chihuahua named Cody.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I became interested in writing later in life, only a few years ago, when I started my first book in a trilogy. Now it is my passion. I finally finished my trilogy and I am currently writing my first stand alone novel.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I’ve always enjoyed reading romance novels, like Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts. But after Twilight, I became hooked on YA and felt inspired to write my own YA novel. I love to use my daughter as my muse in my writings. Having teenagers gives me great insight for my YA novels.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My trilogy is about a girl who falls in love. Only, it’s not your typical love story, the boy, Ryder, has a past that makes their world turn upside down. The girl in my novel is much like my daughter, not only her physical description, but her personality traits, as well. It took me four years to finish the trilogy and I am very excited to start my new stand alone novel about a kidnapping.
