Featured Interview With J.T Jackson
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up near Seattle Washington. So it rains alot. I still live in the same area, never really got away from here. I love it though. I wish the weather could be a little nicer but it’s home.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always lonved books, for as long as I can remember. I started reading when I was really young and it’s just something that always stuck. I started writing poems when I was about 8 or 9. I loved the way you could capture something some profound into something as small as a poem. When I was fifteen I started to actually write stories because I was so unhappy with the events that were happening in my own life, so I created different ones. Writing and reading gave me a chance to excapse reality and thats what I love so much about it.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I don’t think I have a favorite author really. Sounds weird but I just like what I like. I haven’t found a author yet where i pick up on of their books and I have the need to read everything they’ve ever written. There are a few authors that I have read more than one of their books because it was a trilogy or whatever. My favorite genre is probably chick-lit. I like books that have a romance side, but I also nice when the chararters are funny and relatable. I like drama and fantasy books as well though.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My lastest book is the first book I ever finished and the first book I’ve ever published. It’s about a girl who has a lot going on in her life. Working two jobs, one not as respectable as the other, dealing with a sick mother and also dealing with the idea of falling in love. Which is scary for a lot of girls her age.
This book took about a year and a half maybe, on and off. There were times when I was just like, Ok, no one is ever going to read this, so why rush. But my cousin, who loves to read, wanted to check it out, and she pushed me every time I wanted to stop. She always wanted more and more until it was done. Now she pushing me for the next one.
