I had such a great time interviewing the Wreck Me characters I thought I’d interview Austin and Jade from Because of You. The best way to get to know characters is by using the questionnaire from the Actor’s Studio. Here is Austin and Jade.
1. What is your favorite word?
Jade: Honesty. It’s so hard these day to find someone who really is honest. And when you do find that person is truly honest with you, you have to hold on to them.
Austin: Beautiful. It’s the word that comes to me when I look at Jade.
2. What is your least favorite word?
Jade: Betrayal. It’s all I’ve ever seen in my life.
Austin: My name when it comes out of my father’s mouth. I know when he says my name the next word out of his mouth won’t be a good one.
3. What turns you on?
Jade: Austin’s dimples. They drive me crazy.
Austin: Anything Jade does. Even when she’s mad at me. She’s just so beautiful.
4. What turns you off?
Jade: Hurtful words. The wrong words could tear your heart apart.
Austin: Someone being unfaithful. There’s no way to forgive someone after you know they cheated on you.
5. What sound do you love?
Jade: The sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore.
Austin: Jade’s laughter. I love knowing I’m making her happy.
6. What sound do you hate?
Jade: My dad’s girlfriend’s voice. It’s like nails going down a chalkboard.
Austin: My father’s judgmental voice.
7. What is your favorite curse word?
Jade: Screw You. Enough said.
Austin: The famous fuck.
8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Jade: I’m not really sure yet. Something to do with art.
Austin: A writer. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Jade: Anything that will have me trapped in a cubical all day long.
Austin: Becoming a lawyer like my father.
10. Tells us something no one knows about you?
Jade: I never stopped loving Austin. Even when he hurt me when we were kids I still loved him.
Austin: Even though Jade and I were not friends for years it didn’t stop me from keeping an eye on her. I will always regret hurting her when we were kids.

Synopsis:
No one ever forgets their first love.

Now six years later Jade’s life has been turned upside down, the family she once knew no longer exists. Her father’s infidelity has made it hard for her to trust anyone.
That is until she reconnects with the one person she’s despised the most.
Will Austin be able to break through Jade’s wall of anger to get her to trust him again?
Or will she always see him as the boy who first broke her heart?
Together they will learn what love is really all about.

COMING SOON: THE BECAUSE OF YOU BOOK TRAILER
Ever since I’ve met Danielle on Twitter we have not only become friends, but I have also become a big fan of her books. I cannot wait for her new book To My Hero, which comes out April 21, 2013. Until then I’m excited to be part of her book cover reveal.
It would’ve been different if I had courage, even an ounce of it. But I was a coward from the day I met you, Ryan Crowley. I still am. In the end it doesn’t matter. The bottom line is the same. It’s my fault.
When the unthinkable happens Carly Cavanough is left beaten, betrayed, and devastated. Her best friend doesn’t understand. Her parents won’t listen. Everyone in her life turns against her. She’s completely alone, except for Ryan Crowley, the boy she’s been crushing on for years. She won’t admit to him what she can’t admit to herself. But he understands without words. He knows more about what she’s going through than she can possibly imagine and he knows what it will take for the healing to begin.
With Ryan’s help Carly begins to piece together the fragments of her once perfect life and embarks on a journey of love and healing, just long enough for the rug to be pulled out from under her again. Can she find the strength and will to pull herself together to save Ryan and herself when their lives are on the line?

Music has become like my writing buddy. The lyrics and sounds inspire my stories in so many ways. Although Hold on Tight and Letting Go are part of the same series they have their own soundtrack. These are the songs I had to listen to every time I picked up my laptop to write Letting Go.
