Hi Jillian... I'm asking this question of several writers (some friends, some strangers).... Does small-talk come easily for you? If so, do you think the ability to fill silence in conversation informs your writing at all? If not, do you think being averse to small-talk has anything to do with your taking to the page?

Yes, my chattering nature does influence my writing - I adore writing dialogue and long form fiction - but I do not think a talkative or more reserved nature is a definitive factor in become an author. When I write character dialogue, I don't want my voice to be the voice the reader hears. It's more fun to play around with creating a person I am not (critical too). One of my favorite lines from my latest comes from a scene where Sabin wakes his fiance with...um...I should keep it PG...and says, "Now that's a good mornin' done proper, ma'am."
Definitely not something this Italian diva from Philly would say! I think writers write because they love words and stories. (less)

Hi Jillian, How is the writing coming along? With hockey season over, I am in need of some books to read. :) Do you have a release date for Sabin's story? Looking forward to his story. Cheers

My Flyers didn't even make the playoffs so I was rooting for Tampa, but the Hawks did it again. Argh! My chicks are finished school so I'm doing the full time mommy gig for the summer. No complaints though because my girls are super fantastic bubble plastic.
Godsend is finished. The writing, anyway. I still have to do a cover, reformatting and all that yucky stuff before I can release it. I shooting for September/October and I will surely send it along. I love this one (think it's my best effort). I'm also about halfway through Harmony (Masters #4) and Teo is breaking my heart.
I'm heading off for a trip to London and bringing The Virgin by Tiffany Reisz (love all of her books - super hot), The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (pulitzer prize winner so I thought I'd check it out) and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (my girls are devouring her series so I'm joining their book club). I just finished Third Debt by Pepper Winters (great, dark and erotic) and am working my way through the Dartmouth Cobras series by Bianca Sommerland (cheeky, sexy hockey players). Several friends recommended Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley, but I haven't taken her books for a ride (I know, bad pun).
Be well and I will be in touch when I get back stateside. xoxoxJillian(less)

Quotes by Jillian Verne (?)

“Love was real. Painfully real. He loved Julianne. Wholly, completely and irrevocably. And in exchange, he was getting exactly what he deserved. An abysmal whipping at the hands of the ultimate sadist, Life.”

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
