TALK: J.C Hannigan


JC Hannigan is the author of Collide, a romantic suspense described as 'strong and controversial'. She spoke to StoryWorld about writing, inspiration and distractions.

Tell me about Collide

Collide is a romantic suspense new adult novel about a 17-year-old girl who falls for the "wrong" guy (her English teacher), and finds herself in the middle of a town scandal and dirty cover up when she walks in on the Chief of Police's son sexually assaulting her classmate, Jenna. Harlow has to decide what's more important...helping Jenna get justice for what happened to her, or protecting her own secrets...her steamy relationship with Mr. Bentley.



You’re a committed blogger. Do you think this has helped with your writing?

I do think it's helped my writing skills flourish, putting my ideas out there for others to receive. I told stories there too, only instead of fiction, it's my life. So yes, I definitely think it's helped.

 

Which writers are you most inspired by?

J.K. Rowling will probably always be on top of that list. Instead of giving up on her dream when things got tough, she kept pushing and pushing. She never gave up, and look at her now!

 

What’s your work schedule like? Do you have regular times, places, etc, or can you work anytime, anywhere?

My work schedule is kind of whenever I can get at it. I have two small boys and distractions are plentiful! My best hours of writing are first thing in the morning and at night.

 

What’s the best/worst bit about writing for you?

The best and worst thing about writing is literally the same thing -- getting inspiration to write. This is good and bad because then I can't stop and I tend to shut everything out!

  

Are you working on new anything at the moment?


I am actually working on the sequel to Collide! We get to find out what happens after to Harlow,  Iain, Jenna, and even Andrew.



Thanks!
