Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
By the end of this year I will have 25 romance books published since 2015 when I retired from my Nursing job and started writing full time.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A PRIDE OF BROTHERS:RICK
This is my first foray into Romantic suspense. I’ve always loved a bodyguard theme and wanted to write a book about 2 people who know one another, have a bit of a snarky past, and then one needs the protection of the other whether it’s wanted or not.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
For every new book I write I buy a Christmas ornament that exemplifies something about the book. I recently finished a book about a wedding cake baker and bought an ornament in the shape of a wedding cake. I did a book about an ice skater and have a pair of iceskates ornament.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Nora Roberts, JD Robb, Lauren Layne, Sandra Brown, Tami Hoag, Jeffrey Deaver, Jonathan Kellerman
What are you working on now?
The third book in my doccomgirls series, WOKE about a spioled heiress and socialite who mistakenly drinks a drugged cocktail and slips into a coma for 7 years. When she awakens, she changes her life for the better.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon if key, of course, but I also promote them on my website Peggyjaeger.com by giving insights during the writing process, snippets, and giveaways
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you write romance, read every romance you can. Oldies, new authors, even the classics. Readers read romance for two things: the HEA and the conflict. And remember that conflict is NOT about two people bickering!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up on a dream. I wanted to be a published author when I was 8 years old. I turned 55 and had my first book published. I never stopped writing for all those year in between
What are you reading now?
GOLDEN IN DEATH by JD ROBB
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have 3 more book scheduled to be published this year, I need to finish up my PRIDE OF BROTHERS Series and I have a new one I’m working on.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
New York to Dallas – JD Robb
SANCTUARY – Nora Roberts
