Jill James

Biography

Jill James is a self published author, with books in contemporary, paranormal, and zompoc romance. She didn't start out wanting to be a writer. She wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut, and President of the United States. Along the way, life happened and she realized she could be all those things; between the pages of the books she wrote. She lives in Northern Nevada with her husband, the inspiration for all her romance novel heroes.

When she isn't writing, she is reading. She also collects salt and pepper shakers on her vacations.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
My greatest joy in writing is being in what I call "The Zone." That is when you look up from your computer and hours have passed and you see pages of a book that you don't even remember writing and you read the words and you can't believe they came from you. It's like magic. That's when I know something special has passed between me and the story. I want that for the reader. To look up after hours of reading and to be surprised that they are home, to feel like they returned from a journey.
When did you first start writing?
In the fifth grade, I had a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Katherine Whitaker. She loved creative writing. Each week we had to write a story based on a title she gave us. I don't remember them all, but I do remember The Runaway Chevrolet and The Peanut Butter Airplane. Everyone else complained that we had to write two WHOLE pages of a story. I worried that the story I wanted to write wouldn't fit in two pages, and most of the time I was right.
