I had the pleasure of speed-interviewing her on one sunny afternoon. I hope you’re ready! Nancy, do you believe in destiny?

Only what you make and happen to fall heir to.

If you were a supernatural creature what would you be and what would your super power be?

Understanding.

Do you have any weird writing habits? Perhaps something you always have to do before starting to write or a secret vice?

No weird habits, I just sit down and write.

What do you do in your spare time?

I have little spare time, but what I have I usually read or watch PBS.

Your favorite recipe?

I don’t cook.

Your favorite person?

My best friend, Susie.

If you could go back in time, what would you say to your younger version?

Pay attention to the future choices you will make.

Could you give us a one sentence synopsis of your book?

My short story deals with memory and how it influences choices made by my characters.

Do you have any words of wisdom for the other writers?

Write, write, write, and write some more.

Favorite quote?

I have many, but this one sprang to mind:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

I love…the cosmos
I hate…haters
Favorite person? Susie
Favorite creature? Cats
Night or day? Night
Cat or dog? See above…cats
I believe…in imagination

OMG! That was fast! I know how busy an author’s schedule can be so thank you, Nancy, for stopping by and giving us some of your precious writing time!

Cheers,

Jen x

About jenniferloiske

Jennifer Loiske lives in Finland in Naantali, which is a small sunny town on the southwest coast. She is a pre-school teacher by profession but she stayed at home when her youngest daughter suffered brain fever, which developed severe epilepsy in 2004. She is a workaholic Teen/Young Adult author, who loves dark fantasy, teen movies, chips and candies and warm sunny days. She’s also very keen on charity work and a big part of her royalties goes to the charity; mainly to help families with epileptic children but also to the epilepsy units in the hospitals. As a huge fan of dark novels Jennifer's bookshelf is full of books from L.J. Smith, Alyson Noel, Stephanie Meyer, Chloe Neill, Michelle Rowen, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Amanda Hocking and Lauren Kate. She’s also a huge fan of music from Evanescence, Linkin Park, Within Temptation, OneRepublic and Disturbed. But her hunger for music is endless and depend on what mood she’s in or what kind of book she’s working on. She can be pretty much an omnivore when it comes to music.
