Tell us
a little about yourself: Well, I’m NJ born and bred, with a short stop in St.
Louis for college—just long enough to flatten my accent. J I’m the mom of two teenage girls, one who is
leaving for college for the first time and one who is learning to drive, so my
anxiety levels are a little high right now. Luckily, I can disappear into my
writing to get a break! I’ve been writing and publishing since 2011 and my
husband is my biggest supporter.
What do
you like the most and the least about writing: Hmm, what I like the most about
writing is that I get to create the story. While my characters talk to me and
tell me what they want, I am in charge. I can make things work out the way I
wish things might in real life. I can come up with the perfect response in an
argument between my characters, even if in real life I might not be able to do
so until much later. J What I like the least? It can be
very solitary and finding the motivation, especially after getting a rejection,
can be difficult.
Give us
a peek into your latest published work: Here’s the blurb for In the Moment,
which releases today.
Cassie Edwards, a former
foster child, purchases an 1870s Victorian mansion, the one home from her
childhood where she felt like part of a family. She’s spending her summer
lovingly restoring it, with dreams of one day raising a family of her own here.
Rayne Tucket, a photojournalist, is haunted by the death of his best friend in
Afghanistan, a death he thinks is his fault. He survives day to day. Forever is
not in his vocabulary. Swearing off photography, he answers an ad for a
handyman—mindless, no emotion involved. As the two of them renovate her house,
can Cassie show Rayne that love is strong enough to heal all wounds?
What’s
next on the writing horizon for you: I’m currently working on edits for book
two in my Serendipity series with The Wild Rose Press. The first book, Addicted
to Love, released in July. The second one is called Five Minutes to Love, and
the hero and heroine meet during a failed speed dating experiment.
Is there
anything you want to tell readers: Well, I love hearing from them. Whether it’s
online through one of my social media sites (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jennifer-Wilck-201342863240160/

or via reviews, it’s nice to talk to people and hear what they think, not only
about my books, but other books that they read.
Except from In the Moment:
The intimate
closeness made her stomach flutter. The proximity of their bodies, the rush
of the water, and his feathering touch on her lips made her dizzy. She gripped
his arms for support. He grasped her waist, staring deep in her eyes.
He was going to kiss her. She knew it.
His pupils dilated. Time slowed. The rushing water pounded around her. She
opened her mouth, as much to drink in air as to get ready to kiss him back. His
eyes narrowed, focused on her lips. She leaned toward him. Their wet bodies
pressed against each other. Her breasts tingled, and her stomach heated at the
contact. She wanted this to go on forever, but at the same time, she wanted him
to hurry up and kiss her so their lips could finally meet. At the last possible
second, he pushed away.
She stood there, confused and aching.
“I’m not the staying kind, Cassie.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“A woman like you needs a man who’ll
stay forever. My time here has an expiration date.”
She ducked under the water. When she
came up, she pushed her hair out of her face. “I know you’re leaving. You don’t
have to, though.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Why?”
“Because I have a promise to keep.”
“What kind of promise?”
“The unbreakable kind.”
