I turned around to
come face to
face with green piercing eyes. My breath caught and I felt like I
was going to
pass out. No way was I standing in front of Hayes Morgan. I
couldn’t
move, I couldn’t breathe, and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t do anything
but look
into his beautiful eyes.
“Mac?” he
finally managed, his voice cracking.
“Yeah,” I
whispered.
He reached
his hand out like he was going to touch me then dropped it. “I can’t
believe it’s
you. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see you again.”
I pulled my
eyes away from him to notice the beautiful girl standing beside him
with her arm
wrapped around his forearm. “It’s really me. It was nice seeing
you, but I
have to go.

Questions
for JD Rivera
Your next
book,
Chasing the Stars, comes out on Oct. 13th. Tell us a little about
it.
Chasing
the Stars is about a girl (Mackenzie) that moves
around a lot
starting her senior year at a new high school and a guy (Hayes)
that pretty
much has everything and not a care in the world. They meet and a
friendship
forms and then everything is ripped apart for them. It's a mix of
YA/NA but I
would classify it as more New Adult.
When did
know you
wanted to be a
writer?
I've
always made up stories but it wasn't until I was an
adult that I
really wanted to write the stories down and let the world see
them.
Are there
any genres
that you want to write, but haven’t
yet?
I don't
think so but that could change tomorrow. I will never
say
never.
Balancing
family time
is tricky as it is. How do you throw writing into that
mix?
I
balance my time by giving up sleep and drinking a lot of
coffee. I
usually give myself a certain amount of time each day to write or if
I'm really
lucky I'll give myself a word count to achieve.
What is
the ideal
writing environment for you?
My ideal
writing environment is my new recliner with music
turned up. I
don't really have a preference on music but I like to listen to
something.
Do you outline
your stories
or do they just come to
you?
I tried
to outline once and it turned into a disaster. I felt
like I was
forcing the story. I'd rather just let it come to me.
What
is
the typical
turn-around time for a book for
you?
It
varies depending on what's going on in my personal life
but I would
say 4-6 months.
What is
one question
you wish people asked
you?
Oh gosh,
I have no idea. Maybe... Can I get you another Diet
Mountain
Dew? Haha!!!
What book
are you
dying to read?
I have
way too many to list.
Some books
are harder
than others to write. Were any of yours particularly hard, or did
they all
flow?
Most
have came pretty easily to me but I would say Defensive
was the
hardest. Only because I didn't really plan on writing
it.
Pen and
paper or
keyboard and screen? What way do you wish you could do all your
writing?
Keyboard!!! My handwriting is so bad I wouldn't know
what I
had
written.
What other
projects can
we expect to see from you in the
future?
I'm currently writing
a novel and then I plan
on writing a
novella. You may see some characters from Chasing the Stars show
up again.
