Sliding a Beer Across the Ice to Jennifer Comeaux
Today as part of the "every sport counts" World Cup Promo I welcome Jennifer Comeaux to the bar….
Liz: Welcome to my beer bar Jennifer! What can I pour for you to start?
JC: I’m not a beer drinker, but I’d love a cold soda!
Liz: Bummer. Ok, I'll drink yours….
I see that you have a very successful series about figure skating. What inspired you to write them? Are you a figure skater yourself?
JC: I’ve only been on the ice once in my life (and I was terrified!), but I’m a huge fan of the sport. I’ve watched it on TV since I was a little girl, and I became an even bigger fan when I started attending competitions thirteen years ago. I think skating is the perfect combination of sport and art!
Liz: Tell us about the series….
JC: The series follows the personal and Olympic journey of Emily, a pairs skater from Boston. She falls in love with her young Russian coach Sergei, and their love story spans the trilogy. We also see Emily and her partner Chris chasing their dream of being the first American pair to win Olympic gold.
Liz: Whoops! Empty glass. What can I pour for you next?
JC: I’ll take a refill of my soda!
Liz: Ok, that's one more beer for the wench...I’m one of those fair weather, Olympics-only ice skating fans but will tell you that some pretty famous ice dancing medalists train here in Ann Arbor. As well as the USA Hockey young studs who typically end up playing NCAA D1 hockey and going on to make the NHL. Are you a hockey fan as well?
JC: I’m not a hockey fan, but I know the Olympic gold medalist ice dancers, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, well! Since I attend a number of competitions each year, I’ve gotten to know some of the skaters and their families. Meryl and Charlie are just as fabulous off the ice as they are on the ice!
Liz: Who is your all time favorite figure skater, male and female?
JC: Michelle Kwan is my all-time favorite singles skater, and Meryl and Charlie are my favorite duo on the ice.
Liz: Will you be expanding your Life on the Edge series or do you have other books planned?
JC: Next month I’ll be releasing a new book, Crossing the Ice, which is a spin-off from the Edge series. Here’s a little more about it:
Pair skaters Courtney and Mark have one shot left at their Olympic dream. They vow not to let anything get in their way, especially not Josh and Stephanie, the wealthy and talented brother and sister team.
The heart doesn’t always listen to reason, though…
The more time Courtney spends with sweet, shy Josh, the harder she falls for him. But they are on opposite sides of the competition, and their futures are headed in opposite directions. Will their friendship blossom into more or are their paths too different to cross?
Liz: And now for a nightcap, what’s your poison?
JC: Keep the caffeine coming with another soda. I need it to stay up late writing!
Liz: Nods and pours and another beer before opening her laptop to stay up writing.
