Q&A with Tijan - CLOSED
Hi Tijan!!!Which book was the hardest and which one was the easiest to write? And why?
Hi Tijan! Obsessed with your books! I am a Mason girl all the way - fave all time male ;)Do you have a special place in your heart for one of your gorgeous male leads? If so, which one and why? Thanks x
Hi, as a reader there are always some characters that you want more of even though the writer is finished with the story, if you were given the chance to continue any story who's story would you want to continue?
Tijan,Of all the female characters you have written, which do you relate to the most?

Sustain! I actually rewrote it almost three complete times. It was difficult because I knew it needed to coincide with Broken and Screwed 2's timeline, but there was so much back story to the beginning of the group and I just couldn't not include that part so that's why there was a break in the middle of the book.

That series had ten books to them, but they were horribly written so I've retired all the books except the last. I tried looking for the very first one recently and I couldn't find it. So I'd really love to redo that first book and maybe proceed from there. Shane Chen is the main character in that series and she's still in my head. The stories continued so I'd love to let to get them back onto the computer screen sometime.

I love Mason and Logan. They hold a special place in my heart, but so does Keetan Lao from the Chen Series. He was the original book boyfriend for me in my writing career. Another guy that I'm loving is Caden in my new WIP right now, Anti-Stepbrother. I think others will really love him too...or I hope!
Hi Tijan,Who is your favorite female character to write? I love Sam.
Who, out of all of your characters, do you see as the best father? The best mother? And what qualities do you think makes them the best suited for parenthood?
Tijan, I'd like to know which authors inspire you? Also, what is your favorite book?
Are you working on any new projects besides the Fallen Crest series?
Hi TijanI'm your biggest fan ever!!!!! I've been reading your books since you were on fiction press. All your books are pretty much on my best book ever shelf.
I just wanted to know if you would be writing any more books with kick-ass heroines like Sheldon and Taryn???? Their my absolute favorite heroines ever and no other authors heroines even compare.....sooo I figured I'd have to try and get you to write more like them. :)
If you could Co-write with any other author out there(dead or alive) who would it be?
Will Logan allow Taylor to join the Fearsome Foursome making it the Fivesome? And will she know about all their questionable hi-jinx? Eventually, Mason is going to have to talk to her. Lol
Who is your all time favorite author and your favorite book?
Any plans you may attend signings outside the US in the future?
Hi! Do you do a playlist for your book?
How many books will there be in the Fallen Crest Series? And the Evil series?
HI! I wanna ask you so many Q: 1) How can you be so amazing?2) How long will we wait for the next awesome book from FCH series?
3) Is there a possibility that your books will be available in Poland?
4) What can we expect from next book after Evil?
Hi, which book/series was the most difficult to write? And why?
Hi Tijan :) what is the best thing being an author?
Hi Tijan! I live the Fallen Crest Series! Did you ever read a book or a series more than three times? If so, what is it and why?
Hi Tijan! Thanks for hanging out for the week and answering questions :)What's your favorite part of writing a new book? Is it brainstorming new ideas, starting it off, finishing it, polishing it, maybe covers? Something else?
Out of all the female characters that you have written about which one, if any do you relate to?
Melissa wrote: "Hi Tijan,Who is your favorite female character to write? I love Sam."
Sam's definitely a favorite, but Shane Chen is the ultimate because she's my first character I ever wrote and she's always in my head. I'm really loving writing Summer, the new character in my WIP right now -- Anti Stepbrother.
Christa wrote: "Will Nate have his own book?"Yep! Planning at least a novella for him once the Fallen Crest Series is all done. Heather is also getting a novella too, but Nate will get his first. I have no idea when, though.
saraha wrote: "Out of all the female characters that you have written about which one, if any do you relate to?"Not one in particular, but all of them have something of me in them, if that makes sense!

I'm a huge writing nerd. I love everything about creating a book, except for the editing part (which is the most important part, or one of the most important parts!) I love the daydreaming, outlining, the actual writing itself. And I really love when I finally get the finished product in paperback form. It's always exciting for me when I open that box.
Geleen wrote: "Hi Tijan! I live the Fallen Crest Series! Did you ever read a book or a series more than three times? If so, what is it and why?"I've read The Avenger by Debra Anastasia more than few times. I get chills when I read parts of that book. It's so good! Otherwise, I really love the Harry Potter books too. Her writing is inspiring.
Audrey wrote: "Hi Tijan :) what is the best thing being an author?"Best thing--- honestly, probably doing what I love and making enough money from it to support myself and my family. I'll be doing this anyway so getting paid for it is a bonus. lol It's sometimes exhausting to work from home because I'm always 'on', but that also gives me a lot of freedom too.
Lucie wrote: "Hi, which book/series was the most difficult to write? And why?"Sustain was the hardest for me. I'm not sure why, but I rewrote it three times. I think I was getting feedback that got too much in my head and made me question everything. The other problem is that it was already tied into Broken and Screwed 2. I needed to have it be around that same timeline, but there was so much earlier back story that I needed to add that too.

HI! I wanna ask you so many Q: 1) How can you be so amazing? -- lol Thank you!!! I don't think I am, but I'll take the compliment. ;)
2) How long will we wait for the next awesome book from FCH series? A few more months. I always need a break after I release anything Fallen Crest related. Those books can get really intense.
3) Is there a possibility that your books will be available in Poland? I'd love that! My agent is working on foreign rights, but I've not heard anything so far.
4) What can we expect from next book after Evil? I've got a brand new book coming, titled Anti-Stepbrother. The main character is a little bit differently than I've had so far. She's a little delusional, and a little weird at moments, but I'm loving writing her. I think she'll make people laugh.
Sairaika wrote: "How many books will there be in the Fallen Crest Series? And the Evil series?"7 total for the FC Series, and that's not counting Logan's book or the two novellas coming at the end. The best information is all on my website too: www.tijansbooks.com and one book so far for Evil!
Nicole wrote: "Hi! Do you do a playlist for your book?"I do, but I listen all over from youtube to spotify and I don't know how to make those playlists public. You can look me up on youtube under tijanful! :) Lately I've been listening to live concerts like Avicii and other edm music like that.

Heather wrote: "Who, out of all of your characters, do you see as the best father? The best mother? And what qualities do you think makes them the best suited for parenthood? "Best father--- probably the dad in my newest WIP right now (Anti Stepbrother). Qualities for that: loving, supportive, protects his child, always there for her!
Best mother-- Malinda! She's just amazing. I love writing her too. She's involved with Mark and Sam. She loves both of them unconditionally.
Stephanie wrote: "Who is your all time favorite author and your favorite book?"All time favorite author-- this question is so hard because I tend to go in phases. I don't have one right now, but my favorite book is The Avenger by Debra Anastasia. That book gave me the chills, the good kind. ;)
Lisa wrote: "Will Logan allow Taylor to join the Fearsome Foursome making it the Fivesome? And will she know about all their questionable hi-jinx? Eventually, Mason is going to have to talk to her. Lol"Oh yeah. Taylor is family now. She's in. What's their questionable hi-jinx?
Autumn wrote: "If you could Co-write with any other author out there(dead or alive) who would it be?"JK Rowling! You said dead or alive, so I'm shooting to the stars here. lol That'd be amazing. I have so much respect for her.

Oh yes! I'm working on Shane's first book again and she's the ultimate kick-ass heroine!
Kasie wrote: "Are you working on any new projects besides the Fallen Crest series?"Yep! I have Evil coming out May 13th (ya paranormal romance) and a brand new book coming out this summer called Anti Stepbrother. Also-- I have a spinoff from the Carter Reed Series coming out early 2017. :) All new stuff besides Fallen Crest. :)
Would you ever write a period piece or series?
What are your go to snacks when you're writing? Lol! I love seeing what authors munch on while they are coming up with master pieces. Weird, I know. Lol
Who would you say are some of your celebrity inspirations for your characters?
Hi, Tijan! If you could spend one day with one of your characters, who would you pick and why ;)
Hi Tijan!!!If you could write a crossover with another authour's series and Fallen Crest series, which author and series would it be? Thank you!!! :D
