Interview with Author Janiera Eldridge
Everything about Soul Sisters is
unique! It’s a multicultural vampire story, it’s about twin sisters where one
is human and one is a vampire and the story of their creation is truly unique.
People are constantly telling me how unique the vampire transformation is and I
always enjoy hearing that!
I relate to Dana, the laid back
sister, a lot. She just wants to be alone with her books and maybe…maybe… find
true love. She’s loyal to a fault and will go to the ends of the earth to
please the people she loves. I feel like that’s me a lot.
The very talented Marya Heiman
designed my cover. We wanted a cover that showed how beautiful and majestic the
sisters were and the colors surrounding them really brought that out.
4. What/who inspired you to become a writer?
This quote by the great Toni Morrison: “If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
This is why Soul Sisters was created
and why I continue to write the stories I do.
I suffer from Fibromyalgia. It’s
actually taken away from my writing because it is a neurological disorder that
causes a lot of pain. Sometimes however,
to get my mind off of the Fibro, writing is extremely theraputic.
The hardest thing for me is writing
down something I didn’t like about the book in a way that won’t offend the
author. I’m an author myself and I know some criticisms can really hurt to the
core so I am extremely careful now with the words I use when reviewing.
I’m so picky about what I read that I
never give reviews below three stars because it’s rare I read a book I don’t
like.
I don’t listen to music when writing
like other authors. I keep the TV on for background noise so my thoughts don’t
wonder. Weird right? I also have to have something cold to drink right by me or else I can’t begin
writing. lol
8. If you were written about on the front page of a newspaper, what would the headline say?
Crazy Author Janiera Eldridge claims there
Are Vamps, Ghosts, Zombie and Murderers Living in Her Head!
I’d go seduce the Justin Timberlake
because I have adored him since I was 13 years old!
Always write exactly what is in your
thoughts and hear because if the publishers won’t publish it you can do it
yourself!
