Writer’s Wedneday with Nonnie Jules

Good morning, Nonnie. Welcome to my blog! I think today’s visitors will enjoy learning more about you and your work. So let’s jump right in!

[image error]NONNIE JULES, who is the youngest of five children, was born in Texas but was relocated to Louisiana with her family when she was a toddler. She grew up loving books and everything about them..She has traveled the world, jumped out of planes and climbed many mountains, all thanks to the wonderful world of literature. She still lives in Louisiana today on a quiet strip of land in the country, where red dirt roads and pick up trucks go hand in hand..There also lives her husband, their two daughters and many, many animals..She continues to write from many different genres and hopes to teach and touch hearts and minds alike with her very unique writing style..She loves positive feedback on her writing and personally responds to each and every email here at nonniewrites@yahoo.com. She finds simple pleasures in just being in a book store.

Q. Do you do any special research for your novels?

“Daydream’s Daughter, Nightmare’s Friend” is my very first novel and  yes, I had to do tons of research of the city that it was set out of, which is Houston, TX..Since I live in Louisiana, I wanted to be crystal clear about the places that I brought to life in the story.

Q. What made you pick your particular genre?

Well, I’m a Lifetime Movie Network kinda gal and these types of story lines really interest me. I know a lot of people tell this story, but I think each and every one tells it in a different way, but I wanted to challenge myself to tell it in THE most different way.

Q. What are you working on right now? Can you tell us about it?

Right now I’m putting the finishing touches on Daydream’s Daughter, Nightmare’s Friend, and lets cross our fingers that it will be ready for publication by the middle of this month. The release date has been changed already twice. After this, I am going to finish my children’s book, KIRSTEN & THE BIG BLUE TREE since everyone wants it before Christmas.

Q. Do you ever hit the wall or find you’ve written yourself into a corner? How do you turn that around?

Yes, I have hit a “writing brick wall” many times during the course of  writing “Daydream’s Daughter, Nightmare’s Friend” and what I did to turn it around was simple….I stepped away from the project for a few hours, a few days and allowed my mind to refresh itself, to reset itself and then came back stronger than before.

Okay…enough with the business questions! How about some fun stuff. You know, just between the two of us.

Q. The opportunity to go on a surprise vacation arises. You have 90 minutes to pack and get to the airport. Where will you go and what will you pack?

I would go to Hawaii and I would pack the skimpiest swimsuit ever known to man

Q. Are you more likely to be spotlighted on the TV show Hoarders or Fashion Police?

Hoarders..I don’t like to throw anything away.

Q. If they make a movie about your life, who do you want to play your part?

Sandra Bullock..I think she can find humor in the most serious of situations and that’s my take on life….you just have to laugh things off and try and see the bright side of everything.

Q. Tell us one thing about you that might surprise us…it can be a secret…we won’t tell.

I have a bucket list that I’m truly serious about..That’s my secret.

Here’s a few quickies. What’s your favorite:

Sound? A roaring lion

Romantic song? Anything by John Legend

Day? I love Fridays, who doesn’t?

Smell? Gardenia

 BLURB:

 Marisa was a good girl, until someone made her mad..Living in hell with her mother and step-father was nothing short of a daily struggle for survival..When Marisa can’t stand the abuse any longer, she snaps and does the unthinkable. Will she be able to survive leaving one hell being forced into another? Will the man she married be able to understand and forgive her secrets and her past?.Stay tuned for the bumpy ride of  “DAYDREAM’S DAUGHTER, NIGHTMARE’S FRIEND.”

 

 EXCERPT:

 

 As she sat cross-legged on the grass, book face down in her lap, she looked around this strange place..The neighborhood was sad..The people who lived there were sad..Marisa always wondered why she had to born to this family..They were poor, classless, and uncouth and she never felt as if she belonged..She even spoke.a different language from theirs..They sounded like a bunch of hillbillies and Marisa was very refined in her speech and her manner..She would often overhear her mom saying to her friends over the phone:

“She was definitely born into the wrong family. Her family is somewhere with oil wells pumping in their backyard.”

Marisa heard this so much she started to believe it..As she got older, it was pure fact in her mind and she wanted to know how she could make her way to her REAL family..But, as fate would have it, she was stuck here with this one..
