Featured Interview With Melanie Jackson
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
California is my home state but these days the spouse and I live in Las Vegas with our domestic house panther, Butterscotch Jones.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
It was the Christmas when I was three and beginning to site read when someone read to me A Visit From Saint Nicholas ‘By Clement C. Moore’. And I realized that the book had been made by a person. From that point on I wanted to be a person who created that most magical thing– books.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Favorite authors is tough because I read in many genres and eras all the way back to Beowulf. These days I mainly reader cozy mysteries or thrillers, but there is always room for any special book that catches my eye. The book that probably inspired me to try my hand at romance was Elizabeth Lowell’s Tell Me No Lies.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My heart has been with Miss Henry this last year and more. Miss Henry is closest to my age of all the heroines I write and we are simpatico. Her last adventure was Toys In The Attic. I don’t have a new title yet. Sometimes I know at the start what a book will be titled but from time to time I have to wait until I am in the throes for a proper title to present itself.
