Bio:
Jamie Salisbury cannot imagine a time when she did
not write. A skill that has served her
well throughout her diversified professional career that encompassed public
relations in and around the entertainment industry, photography, editing, and
special event planning.
An avid reader of history, biographies, and
romance it's only natural that she prefers to write historical romances with characters said to be "so authentic they spring forth from the page and shake the reader's
hand." No stranger to life
threatening situations Jamie pulls
from life experience when she creates her stories. Such as when her family
had to escape Chile when she was a teen
because of the unstable political climate.
Unable to walk great distances as a
result of several foot surgeries, she started writing once again as a way
to pass the time. With the completion of her first novel Perpetual Love she
dove head first into the eBook and digital publishing paradigm. She couldn't be
happier with her decision to grab the publishing industry by the shoulders and
force it to pay attention to all she has to offer.
Welcome, Jamie. Please tell us a bit about Timeless Sojourn.
"It
wasn't supposed to be like this!", has become the mantra in Anne Harrison's head since her recent
divorce. She was too old to be here...to be single. Melancholy and unsure about
anything Anne takes her long time friend Kat's advice and gets back to her
roots...in Seattle. There she hopes to connect with that long ago girl from her
childhood and find her confidence again.
Devilishly handsome, arrogant, and cocky
Geoffrey Quinn is a man of success. He's also a man of layers and most people
can't get past what he portrays. No one until Anne.
The last thing either of these people are
looking for is a relationship. Anne finds Geoff highly irritating (and young!)
at his best, while Geoffrey finds her magnetic and wise.
Seemingly
unsuitable and unplanned attractions lights a fiery passion this duo never
expected.
Will
they take a chance on passion? If they do what happens when the blaze recedes?
What will be left ashes or embers?
What
inspired you to write this book?
It is sort of based on true facts, and I took it
from there and started writing it out into a manuscript.
Excerpt:
Kat and I are
just finishing up the dinner dishes and getting ready to sit and solve the
problems of the world when the phone rings. Kat answers. “Of course, she’s
right here. We just finished cleaning the kitchen.”
Geoffrey she
mouths to me, handing me the phone.
“Hey, how are
you? I asked.
“Great,
thanks. I was wondering if you’d like to come over for dinner Friday night. I
grill a mean steak.”
“That sounds
great, Geoffrey. Can I bring anything, oh, and what time?” I smile at the
thought of that killer body slaving over a grill.
“How about if
I pick you up at seven, and bring something for dessert, if you don’t mind.”
“That sounds
great. I’ll see you Friday.”
I hang up the
phone and Kat is standing there with a huge grin on her face.
“You’re going
to have dinner at Geoffrey Quinn’s?” she cackles. “You do know he’s falling
hook, line and sinker, don’t you? He never invites women to his place.”
“Enough
already, Kat! Geoff is young enough to be my son. We simply enjoy each other’s
company.” I replied, hoping to shut her up.
“Oh no, Anne,
he’s taken with you and you are quite smitten with him, although you’d be the
last to admit it. Don’t play the age game crap with me because I know better.”
She’s still smiling like a match maker as I turn away, my face warm from
blushing.
What
exciting story are you working on next?
I’m working on something titled Last of the Wild
Ones – the sequel to Tudor Rose. I’m also working on a historical fiction piece
based in England and Scotland in the late 19th century.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
High school is probably the earliest. I had a
Creative Writing teacher who really encouraged me to write.
Do
you write full time?
Yes
What
is your work day like? I try and spend my mornings
returning emails, sending emails, checking blogs, doing PR, that sort of thing.
Once that is finished I take a break and after that spend the afternoon
writing.
What
would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
Hmmmm, that is something best kept to myself!
As
a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a young child I wanted to be a teacher. Then as I
became a teenager it changed and I wanted to be a singer or an actress.
