Continuing on with our author spotlights from Delphine Publications, today is dedicated to Saundra Jones.
Author Saundra Jones grew up in Cleveland, Mississippi and, as an adult, now resides in Indiana. Saundra works for a government assisted agency as a Property Manager in the Public Housing Sector. She is married with two daughters, ages 12 and 6 years old. Originally she started writing screen plays at the age of twelve and as an adult, the need to create intensified. This intensity produced her first self published novella titled “Owning Up” now renamed “Trick or Treat.” In December of 2011, Saundra was signed to Delphine Publications and by summer 2012 her debut novel “Her Sweetest Revenge” was released and reached Amazon Bestseller list at #2. In July, Black Expressions released “Her Sweetest Revenge” giving it new life to the world. Saundra feels a great opportunity on her journey to writing for the people. Delphine Publications released her first romance novel titled “Pieces of Justice” in the summer of 2013 which also landed a #2 spot on Amazon. Followed up was the Release of “Her Sweetest Revenge 2” in August 2013 that flourished with five star reviews from anticipated readers. 2014 will also start off with a bang with the release of “Forbidden” another urban drama. According to Saundra, “writing is my passion and simply my destiny there is so much more to come.”
What inspires you to write the books you write? What motivates you?
The books I write are inspired by my love for urban material. It shows a character of individuals from a different lifestyle that real people sometime experience. It also shows truth that life is not always a fairy tale. Words of my readers asking for more motivates me. Their words and love my characters proves to me that my writing and time I put into it is not in vein.
Do you research anything prior to starting a new project? Take us through a normal day with a new project that needs to be handed in.
Research depends on what I’m writing especially if I’m using real cities, etc. Finishing up a project that I’m about to turn in for me means. Getting out of bed knowing this is the day I will officially submit it. Reading after I have already read it maybe twice before. Getting feedback from normally my sister who has read it maybe three times. Just to be sure it’s ready to go. Oh and then the nervousness. lol
What is hardest part about writing for you? The easiest part?
For me the hardest part of writing is getting too involved with my characters. The easiest part is creating my characters and delivering them just as I have imagined them to be.
What new projects are you working on now?
Right now I am working on Her Sweetest Revenge 3.
Any advice for aspiring writers that you wish somebody had shared with you?
Research and more research.
