1 Year Blogoversary Day 3 Jana Oliver Q&A with Giveaway!

For day 3 of my Blogoversary Celebration I bring you... 
Jana Oliver Author of 
The Demon Trappers Novels.




Jana took time out her busy schedule to answer some questions for my followers!


SG : If you had to describe The Demon Trapper's Daughter in one word what would it be?

Jana: LOL. I’d love to use “epic” but that’s pushing it. I’d just stop at “unique”.

SG : I love your characters where did you get the inspiration for each of them or did  you just totally make them up from nothing?

Jana: They’re totally made up. There are many little bits of other folks in each of them but they are all their own “people”. Each have certain quirks and insecurities and that is what makes them so much fun to write.

SG : Do you listen to music while you write or do you need quiet?

Jana: I listen to music. Depending on what I’m writing it can be country western (when I’m working on Beck scenes) or Celtic or classical. I’m a music omnivore. Some of my current fav artists are Peter Bradley Adams, The Band Perry, Carrie Underwood, The Civil Wars, The Decemberists and Runrig.

SG : Who are some of your favorite authors?

Jana: Ilona Andrews, Jim Butcher, Deanna Raybourn, Terry Pratchett and Suzanne Collins.

This or That...

That.

Sneakers or High Heels?

Sneakers, definitely. I’m a danger to myself and others in heels. *Yeah me too!*

Blonde or Dark hair?

Either. Two of my dudes in the series are blond (Beck and Simon) and two have dark or brown hair (Ori and Peter).

Demons or Angels?

Now that’s a toughie. Hanging with a Magpie (Klepto-Fiend) could be entertaining but on other hand angels are not after your soul. And Martha is fun in a knitting addicted sort of way. I guess I’d have to safe angels so I didn’t accidentally say something wrong and then I have to alphabetize Lucifer’s ten billion CD collection for eternity.

E-book or Real book?

Real book

Thank you again so much Jana.

    @ Kenna - And I'll be honest -- I yell (a lot) when an author does the cliffhanger thing to me.

    @ Anonymous - Beck rocks. Just sayin'....

    @ FairyWhispers - I graze through just about any kind of music though rap and hip hop just don't do a thing for me.

    I finished The Demon Trapper's Daughter last night around midnight and immediately started on Soul Thief. I absolutely love the characters. I am a proud fan of BECK! Gotta love the Backwoods Boy!

    @ brandisbookmusings -- Isn't Beck just awesome? He's a wounded warrior with those thick defensive walls girls just can't resist smashing. And he's hunk, which NEVER hurts.

    I'm the one who loves Jana's books so much that I shamelessly asked for an ARC. Seriously, I've never done that ever! Also, I ♥ Beck! :)

    @ Emily - I try. Sometimes it's harder to be available due to deadlines, but usually I spent WAY too much time on the Interwebs.

    Happy to offer the swag, folks. You deserve goodies for all your awesome support.

    Angels are awesome, fallen angels are my favorite to read about. I love the Magpie they are so cute lol. I have worn heels before and it's still amazing I didn't hurt myself. I actually think I had better balance in heels than sneakers, that's sad lol. Epic is definitely a great word to describe The Demon Trappers series. Demons running around causing mayhem, a kick butt heroine catching them. Oh and thank you for writing Beck, gosh I love him.
