Tell us a little about your book? BOOTS AND LEATHER by Myla Jackson
This biker chick longs for the open road…until two Kiowa cowboys shift her gears.
Eight months ago, Libby Jones parked her motorcycle in Temptation, Texas, to work at the Ugly Stick Saloon. Since then she’s grown to love the bar’s feeling of family, but now it’s time to hit the road. The longer she stays, the greater the risk her father’s investigators will track her down.
Yet she can’t resist taking the Gray Wolf twins up on their offer to go riding on their ranch. Even though getting involved should be the last thing on her mind.
Ever since Libby landed at the Ugly Stick, Mark and Luke Gray Wolf have been trying to capture her attention. She’s blown them off at every turn, until now. Their plan: expose her to the delights only twins can provide—and persuade her to stay for the long haul.
Libby’s longing for a life she can’t have makes her delay her departure just a heartbeat too long. Her hesitation gives her past time to walk through the saloon door, and all hell to break loose. Now the twins have a fight on their hands to teach her that being free doesn’t mean she can’t let go of her heart.
How much emotion does it take from you to write?
Depends on the scene I’m writing. If it involves ripping the heart out of the characters, I can come away depressed. If it’s humor, I could be laughing at my desk or at least smiling. If I’m writing an action scene, my fingers fly across the keyboard and I come away exhausted and exhilarated.
What is your favorite part of the book?
I love the interaction between Mark, Luke and Libby. Mark and Luke are like Ying and Yang to each other. As twins, they know each other so well they can anticipate each other’s thoughts.
You can only pick 3 words for your main characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*Desperate for love
Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why??
Mark and Luke were easy to write. They were so much alike, being twins, yet so different. Libby was more difficult as she had the most to lose in the story. Her freedom which she desperately wanted to maintain. Yet she’d found a place she felt safe yet unconfined, Temptation, Texas and the Ugly Stick Saloon.
How many books are you shooting for in this series??
Until I run out of characters! And more keep popping up. I love coming back to the Ugly Stick Saloon and would like to keep coming back for a long time.
What are you currently working on?
I write as Elle James for Harlequin Intrigue and I’m writing cowboy mysteries. I have 4 books to complete by end of year. But as Myla Jackson, I have 2 more books coming soon (I hope) to continue the Ugly Stick Saloon Series.
Do you have anything due to release soon?
BOOTS AND BAREBACK is scheduled to release October 23 at Samhain. I introduce the O’Briens and we see Isabella (Bella) Severs at the Ugly Stick. I’ll have a short story release Independently prior to its release with Jesse O’Brien and his girl Ellie Lang.
What’s one thing that you enjoy about writing?
Definitely being my own boss. I like the flexibility of my schedule and I LOVE living the lives of my characters one story at a time. If you think reading is an escape, try writing. It takes me to great places and I meet the darnedest people!
Since we’re cover hussies….what was your first impression of your cover?
The first round was the best with a really wicked biker chick on it, but then they couldn’t use that photo as it was used on another book too recently…sigh. Then they found the two hot dudes and the red-head with an attitude and I LOVED it! This is soooo the characters in the book.
What do you prefer, ebooks or paperbacks?
I’m quickly becoming an e-book fan. I love that I can read from my iPhone, Kindle or my husband’s Ipad and the app syncs it to where I left off. I can turn the pages so easily and it’s easy to find a book to read at the touch of a finger!
Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try?
Action adventure! Like Clive Cussler books. And Young Adult. It’s not apprehension so much as time. I don’t have time in my schedule right now, but I hope to in the future.
Okay…. personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there… Hahah… If you thought you were safe… Nah… Forget it… Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!
What is on your night stand/dresser?
Photos of the kids, lamp and a clock. Boring right? But in the drawer I have a double silver bullet vibrator!
What are you listening to you right now?
Love to listen to Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Bob Marley and whatever else comes on the radio. I can’t listen to music when I’m writing because I like to sing along!
What are you reading right now?
The other stories in SheShifters, a Cleis Publishing antohology my sister Delilah Devlin edited. I have a story in there, but I haven’t had a chance to read all the other.
What is your favorite season?
Holiday? Christmas! I love the music, the food, getting together with family and the colored lights everywhere!
And what has been your best b-day present ever??A riding lawn mower? Yeah, my husband’s idea of a great gift…Best part of that gift is that my husband does all the mowing. 🙂
