When will Killer Decision release?
Unfortunately, I’ve pulled Killer Decision from my release schedule. I’m focusing all my attention on contemporary romance right now, and less on romantic suspense, so I just don’t feel this book fits in with what I’m writing at the moment. Maybe at some point in the future I’ll decide to publish the book, but not right now.
Do you have books in a series, or connected book? And do the same characters reoccur in these books?
I do love writing series books! There’s something about finishing a book and knowing the characters you met in one book will continue on in the next. That being said, it’s typically not the main hero and heroine from one book who are the focus of the next. I tend to take secondary characters from one book and make them the hero and heroine in another book. But I always revisit the characters from previous books in subsequent books. You can find all of my connected books, plus information about how my books and characters are connected, on the Connected Books page.

Will there be another Wild Riders book?
Yes. Nautier and Wilder will release in April, 2013. It features my novella, Riding To Sunset, and will have a new Wild Rider character.

Where’s Noah Devlin’s book in the Devlin Dynasty Series?
I’ve written books for all the Devlin family except for Noah’s. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever write Noah’s book. Right now I have books contracted for the next few years, so my schedule is tight. I would love to write Noah’s book someday but I hate to make promises I can’t keep, so all I can say is maybe someday.
–
Will there be any more Demon Hunter books?
Unfortunately, no. Bantam Dell has decided not to continue the Demon Hunter series. I’m so disappointed to let my readers down. I’ve loved this series as much as you do, and I hate not being able to finish it.
–
Will you be doing another book in the Chains of Love series?
At this point, it doesn’t look like there will be any more books in this series. But I try to never say never.
–
Will you ever do Duncan and Annmarie’s book as a sequel to Out of the Darkness?
I co-wrote Out of the Darkness with my husband. I don’t think he ever wants to write another book again. So the chances of us ever doing another book in this series is slim to none. Sadly. I did love that book, and he did, too, but I think his writing days are over.

How do you pronounce your name?
It’s pronounced like Jay-See.

Why did you decide to become a writer?
I really like staying home in my pajamas. (Just kidding about this part—mostly).
I hate doing my hair and putting on makeup. (Not kidding about this part.)
Seriously, I love to write. I think writing has to be something that grabs you from the inside and doesn’t let go. Yes, it’s a job and one I take very seriously, but the idea of not writing? It makes me ache. Creating stories fires me up. I have fun with the characters. I enjoy putting these characters together and I live to put them through the emotional wringer, or have them angry at each other and see how they handle it. I want to know how they’re going to react when they’re presented with seemingly insurmountable obstacles so they can be together. And when they realize they love each other? How are they going to react? Will they face the truth and deal with their feelings, or run like hell? This is what I spend my days doing, and what makes me smile at the end of every day. This is my life and what I love the most about it.

What do you do when you’re not writing?
Nap? Okay, that’s a pipe dream. But I do love naps.
I work in the garden, ride the Harley, I read, watch television. A ridiculous amount of television. I’m a TV addict. I’m a big fan of reality TV and love Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, So You Think You Can Dance, and all those real crime shows. I also love a ton of other television shows—The Good Wife, The Big Bang Theory, Sons of Anarchy, Justified, Criminal Minds, NCIS and Grey’s Anatomy. I know, you’re probably thinking… when does she find the time to write? I DVR a lot of TV.
We love going to the casino. And whenever we can, Biker Dude and I love to travel.

What kinds of books do you like to read?
I love contemporaries and romantic suspense the best. But I’ll read a great book, no matter the genre.

What kind of motorcycle does Jaci have, and does Jaci have her own bike?
We have a 2009 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail. And I most certainly do not have my own bike. While I love riding, that means on the back, not in the front. I’m a sissy that way. I’m perfectly content to sit on the back of the bike and think up great plotlines. Or watch the scenery go by. Or take a nap. Or admire Biker Dude’s… uh… leather.

How long does it take you to write a book?
It depends on how big the book is. I can write a novella in a weekend or a couple weeks. A single title can take about two to three months or up to six months, depending on what kind of book it is. Every book is different, and something interrupting my workflow, like edits on another book coming in, or travel, can all affect the length of time it takes to finish a book.

What’s your favorite genre?
Absolutely contemporary romance. I love being grounded in the here and now.
–
What’s your favorite book out of all the books you’ve written?
The one that’s out right now. Honestly, I’ve loved every book I’ve written. And the one that just released is always my favorite. Until the next book releases. Then that one becomes my favorite. I could never choose just one book. That’s like asking a mother to choose her favorite kid. Really?

Will your eBooks be released in print, and if so, when?
All of my Samhain eBooks released to date have also been published in print. Some Ellora’s Cave books have not yet been published in print, and may not be put into print due to their size constraints (i.e. novella size) or publisher decision. One of my Carina Press books will be releasing in print in 2013.
Should an ebook go into print that hasn’t gone into print before, I’ll be sure to make an announcement on my Coming Soon page.
–
Are there electronic versions available for all of your titles?
Theoretically, yes, all of my print books should be available as eBooks. I promise you: if I know about an eBook, it’s definitely listed on my site!
