Moonlight on Jackson Pearce (Interview)

So I had the chance to interview Jackson Pearce, who is AMAZING! Jackson is the author of Sisters Red, As You Wish, and has upcoming releases of Sweetly (Sisters Red #2) and Purity. She is also has short stories in the following anthologies: Enthralled and soon to be released Wicked Pretty Things. Jackson also holds a weekly Livestream show, the link is below. Every Wednesday at 8pm EST and topics range from writing to books to mangoes. If you have never been to a show I highly recommend it! On top of all of this she coaches a Winter Guard team and films daily a video which she puts on youtube. Jackson is a force to be reckoned with and a literary genius.

If you have a question for Jackson about her writing watch this.


MR: What was your worst High School experience?
JP: I failed a math class in high school because I was working on my first novel in the back of the class instead of paying attention. In retrospect it's funny, even ironic, but I will never forget how it felt walking home, knowing I'd have to tell my mom I failed. It was awful!

MR: Why the obsession with Mark Twain? What fascinates you?
JP: Mark Twain was a funny, brilliant, kind, and gifted person-- his ability to write the truth so subtly that readers accept it without question is amazing (even at a time when truths about racial equality weren't always accepted!). He had a really interesting life and an epic love story with his wife, Olivia. It feels like the more I looked into his life, the more fascinated I became, and so I decided to use him as the basis for a historical fantasy!

MR: How do you edit your videos and come up with ideas?
JP: I just used iMovie to edit my videos. It is tough to come up with ideas, especially if I need to produce one fast-- doing the 30 days of vlogging definitely taught me how to make a 2 minute video out of just about anything.

MR: Team Unicorn or Team Zombie?
JP: Team Weasley.

MR: What is your five favorite things?
JP: Diet Coke, mangos, my pets, things being in my PO box, and 75 degree weather.

MR: If you were being chased by a werewolf what would you do? And what would you be thinking?
JP: OH MY GOD I HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE CORPOREAL THINGS WHEN I WRITE THEM THIS IS SO COOL TOO BAD I'M GOING TO DIE AHHHHHHHHH

And now is time for some of her fabulous videos!


This one Rocks!

  2. Great interview! Jackson seems like a really awesome person and I think her fascination with Mark Twain is cool. Writer's Blok is pretty much my theme song.
