Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by, it’s
great to be part of this YA/NA Blogfest.
I'm the author of the Amazon Best-selling
series Seasons of
Change, and today I’m going to be interviewing my
characters from Summer Demons. I've had many emails asking
for more of Jenna, Ethan, and Amy so I thought I’d bring them back to answer
some questions.
Mia: Firstly, thanks for
all agreeing to meet up once more. I know you’ve all been extremely busy since
your holidays.
Ethan: No problem.
Jenna: It sounded like it would be
fun.
Amy: Hi everyone!
Mia: So, Jenna, speaking
of holidays, yours didn’t exactly go as planned. Could you tell us a little
about that?
Jenna: Well … it wasn’t really a holiday. I
was in a bad place back then and I thought I could run away from my problems—or
at least give myself a break from them. Turns out you can’t, especially when
this goon over here decides to pull a practical joke on me, without ever having
spoken to me. [points over her shoulder at Ethan as she’s sat on his lap]
Ethan: Hey, I’ve apologised numerous times
for that! You’re never going to let me forget it, are
you?
Jenna:
Of course not. You gave me a panic attack in the middle of a resort. You’re
lucky I gave you a chance at all. [Laughing, she leans back against
him]
Amy: Yep, you’re lucky, Ethan. And I just
want to take this moment to claim credit for those two. All my idea. I should
be a matchmaker.
Ethan: [tickling Jenna] See what they put me
through?
Amy: You’re not fooling anyone, Ethan. You
couldn’t be happier.
Mia: All right, you lot,
behave! We can see you love one another, but I want to know what first
attracted you to each other?
Jenna: That’s easy! I wasn’t. In fact I
found him annoyingly cocky, and I only agreed to go out with him eventually to
get him to leave me alone. My plans have a habit of failing, as you can see.
Amy: I also convinced her it would be good
for her to have some fun. It was a high-risk strategy, seeing as I wasn't sure
about him, but it worked.
Ethan: So the truth finally comes
out!
Jenna: You’ve known that all along.
Ethan: [rolls eyes] Anyway, to answer your
question properly, it was the way she looked on that li-lo
when I first saw her. The sequins on her bikini were shining in the sun, and I
couldn’t look away.
Mia: Well, we know what
happened next. Have you really not forgiven him for the joke, Jenna?
Jenna: Nah, I was just kidding about that.
Although it wasn’t great at the time, it’s probably one of the best things
that’s happened to me. He forced me to face all of my
problems.
Ethan: You also got me out of it, don’t
forget that.
Jenna: Yeah … that too.
Anyway, he couldn’t do anything right to begin with, but I’m glad he stuck with
me. It all worked out in the end.
Mia: Speaking of the
end, readers have been asking me what happened back in England after you flew
home. Can you tell us anything interesting?
Jenna: You really want to know that? I
mean, we’re not the most exciting couple around …
Ethan: She’s lying. She made me meet her
parents, which was eventful to say the least.
Mia: Oh, that sounds
interesting … and daunting. What happened?
Jenna: It was so cute, I’ve never seen him
so nervous!
Ethan: I was not. I was perfectly at ease—at
least until your dad started interrogating me. It was like when I met Jenna
times ten. I couldn’t say or do anything right, and when he found out how we
met I thought he was going to throw me out of the house. I can understand
protective fathers, but her dad took it to the extreme. It’s all good now ...
apparently it was a set up and Jenna had told him to do it. [frowns at her
back]
Jenna: I warned you I’d get you back for
your prank, and I have to say mine was way better than
yours.
Mia: Well it’s great to
hear you made him pay, Jenna, even if it turned out for the better in the end.
Do you know what the future holds for you two?
Ethan: Marriage, kids, and nice house in the
country. Hopefully soon.
Jenna/Amy: [eyes wide and mouth open. It takes her a while to recover]
What!?
Ethan: Gottcha both again, that makes it
17-4.
Amy/Jenna: Not cool, Ethan. Don’t do that to me! I swear he's going to give me a heart
attack. He likes to keep score of how many pranks we pull on each other and, as
you heard, he’s winning. Anyway, to answer your question, we’re just seeing
where things go and enjoying being together. We’re only nineteen so no big
plans as of yet.
Mia: That’s understandable,
and I think you need to step your game up, Jenna. He’s winning too often! I
think that about wraps it up. Thanks for stopping by guys and good luck with
the future.
Ethan/Jenna: Thanks! Great talking to you.
Amy: I’m still waiting for mine and Luke's
interview, Mia! We have a story too.
Mia: You’ll get one
soon, Amy, I promise. Thanks guys!

Blurb:
Jenna Shaw ran away to escape her past. In
fact, she jumped on a plane and flew to Portugal to try and forget it. However,
it turns out leaving everything behind isn’t as easy as it sounds.
She thought she could move on and break
free of her fears—that if she had some space the pain would stop. But as memories
resurface due to an ill-timed joke, the past crashes into her present once more
and she didn’t see it coming.
Jenna’s plans for normality are derailed by
the charismatic Ethan Brooks. She sees him as an annoyance; he sees her as a
challenge. But as he tries every trick known to him to impress her, they only
serve to push her further away. He’s never faced this problem before and Ethan
has to work harder than he ever has if he wants to win over and help his
mysterious girl.

Blurb:
She was on holiday. He was tricked
into returning.
Neither of them wanted to be there, but neither could avoid it.
Neither of them wanted to be there, but neither could avoid it.
Amy wants to be back under the sun in
Portugal. However, when her suggestion is overruled in favour of a skiing
holiday, even she can’t turn it down. What she couldn’t have predicted is that
the holiday could make her break the one, and only, rule she has: not to get
into a serious relationship again.
When Amy first sees Luke, she knows
something is wrong. He’s struggling to cope with everything and her need to
help people makes him the perfect distraction from the cold. He hasn’t been to
the Alps in five years and he swore to never ski again. But as his defences are
broken by Amy’s persistence, the winter paradise begins to reawaken his
desires.
However, with constant flashbacks
triggering his anxiety, he’s torn, battling conflicting emotions as he becomes
increasingly captivated by Amy. She has a rule though. She didn’t go on holiday
to fall for someone and the last thing she needs is to ignore her own advice.
Whether or not she can move past her insecurities will depend on whether Luke
can face his biggest fear.

Blurb:
Her dreams may cost Ellie her
family, but ignoring them will cost her happiness.
Only one person knows what truly lies in
Ellie Jeffords’ heart, and that’s herself. For almost three years she’s
concealed her dreams and lived the life her parents expect her to by studying
accountancy. She’s tried to follow their wishes, but they forgot to consider
one important detail: Ellie’s happiness.
Hating the course she is studying, Ellie is
failing, and the only person who was willing to help—her gran—has passed away.
Not wanting to disappoint her family, she struggles on in silence, thinking she
can rectify the problem before anyone finds out. So when a friend’s cousin,
Justin, offers to tutor her, she jumps at the chance.
As the two meet frequently, and grow closer
together, the pressure of exams starts to break Ellie. Justin wants her to
confide in him, but he can’t persuade her to talk without revealing his own
dark secret. With both of them hiding things, it tests their newly formed
relationship. However, Justin refuses to give up on her. He forces her to make
a choice between her parents’ dreams and her own, but the only problem is that
both options may cost her something she loves.
