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.
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!
