I’m so excited to welcome another LaLa-lovely author, Jodi Vaughn.
She’s got a lot to tell us today, so I’ll jump right in with the interview.
GFG: What’s your favorite food? JV: Chocolate and Pinot Noir
GFG: Hmm…I love both of those too! Now, what’s your least favorite food?
JV: Licorice and Peppers
GFG: *shudders* I like peppers but not when combined with licorice. 
Let’s move on to something tastier. How about literature… What three books influenced you the most in life?
JV: The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss
The Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
GFG: I love the Dark Hunter Series, too! Sexy, immortal warriors who fight to the death for the greater good, but still gentle enough to soothe a crying baby. Yep, turns me on every time. Speaking of… What turns you on?
JV: Kindness and gratitude
People who are genuine
Writing!
GFG: Great answers! Now, what turns you off?
JV: Rudeness and arrogance
People who are fake
Being underestimated and counted out
GFG: What’s a fact most people couldn’t guess about you?
JV: I quilt. At least I used to until writing started consuming my time. I hope to start making time to pick it back up, though.
GFG: Fascinating. I’ve never quilted but I admire the work. Now tell us, Vampire, werewolf, zombie, ancient warrior, cowboy, or ghost?
JV: Werewolf! I am writing a series of Arkansas werewolves. I’m on the fourth book. Think Sons of Anarchy meets True Blood!
GFG: I think I can guess, but tell us anyway. What subgenre do you write?
JV: I write paranormal romance.
GFG: I knew it. Okay, take us through a day in your writing life, if you don’t mind.
JV: 5:30 Up with coffee. I usually look over my schedule and answer a few emails.
8:00 After feeding my DS and dropping him off at school, I usually go for a run.
9:30 Showered and dressed I head to the computer. For the next thirty minutes I check out Face book, interact with people from my author page and tweet.
10:00 Writing time! I already know how many pages I need to write so I get started. I write until about lunch.
12:00 Lunch time and laundry or household chores I need to get caught up on.
1:00 Back to writing until time to pick my DS up from school
2:30 In car line. And reading.
3:30 Homework and getting stuff ready for dinner.
4:30 Writing for thirty minutes before I cook
5:00 Cook
6:00 Dinner
630 Clean up the kitchen and pick up around the house.
7:00 Head out to the pond and feed my swan. Maybe go for a walk with my husband before gathering the family for a movie in the basement.
9:00 Finish anything writing related business. Getting my pages done, check email, blogging (which I’ve slacked off on) and tweet.
10:00 Look over writing schedule for tomorrow. Head to bed with a book!
GFG: Wow, I wish my writing schedule was a regimented as yours! You’re a dynamo! Hey, where can readers find you in the next six months? (Conferences and/or book signings)
JV: I will be signing books at the Moonlight and Magnolias Conference October 5th from 4:30-6:00 at the Atlanta Hilton Northeast in Norcross, Georgia. It’s a book signing for literacy and there will be a ton of other great authors there as well! So drop by and see me!
GFG: And for those folks (like me) who cannot get to the M&M Conference. Where can we find you on the internet?
JV: http://jodivaughn.comtweet me @JodiVaughn1
GFG: Jodi, tell us about VEILED SECRETS, please.
JV: “When Fairies and Demons collide, all hell breaks loose.”
