TD Jones: My name is Teresa Jones and I write under the name of T.D. Jones. I write romance, humor and family drama. I’ve been a Texas gal all my life.
CnB: Twitter style, in 140 words or less, describe Coming Up For Air.
TD Jones: Can young love start again after eighteen years apart? What if the ex brings his pregnant fiancée with him?
CnB: What would you do if an ex you still harbored fantasies about came back into your life with a fiancée and a baby on the way?
TD Jones: I’d run!
CnB: Where do your ideas for a book come from?
TD Jones: Sometimes it starts with a title or just a one liner. In Coming Up For Air it was Maggie Dawson who brought me the story. I was sleeping and woke up and it was as if she was in the room telling me all about her troubles.
CnB: Describe your writing in three words.
TD Jones: Fun, conflict, love
CnB: Do you have a favorite character that you most identify with?
TD Jones: I think all the characters I write about have some of me in them. I don’t really have one I identify with. Each one of them share something that is a piece of me.
CnB: Who inspired you to pursue being an author?
TD Jones: I always loved writing and thinking up stories in my head. I think my dad’s side of the family is really creative and that is probably where I got the urge from.
CnB: What has been the highlight of your career to this point?
TD Jones: Getting six contracts in two years. It still makes my head spin when I think about it.
About the Book
Maggie Dawson was left at the altar at the young age of eighteen. Now years later Kevin Walker is back in town and Maggie’s life is turned upside down. She is determined not to fall in love with this guy for a second time. He broke her heart once, she is not letting him do it again or is she?About the Author
Kevin Walker comes back to Clover, Texas to sell the family ranch and never expects to run into Maggie, who is now the town doctor. He starts to fall in love with her again, but will she let him in?
Maggie always had a secret thought deep down in her heart that someday Kevin would come back to her. He would say he was sorry for leaving, and everything would be wonderful. They would live happily ever after like in the fairy tales. Never in the fairy tale did she dream that her prince would come back to town, and bring his pregnant fiancée with him.
I'm a West Texas girl and wouldn't have it any other way. I love to see the blue sky and all the open space. At night you can walk out and see stars for miles. There's nothing like sitting on a porch and watching the Texas sky on a warm, summer night.
I've always dreamed of becoming a published writer and finally decided two years ago I was either going to make my dream come true or give it up. Luckily Melange-books decided I was worth giving a chance and published Hot Days. My dreams seem to becoming more of a reality since I will have my second story published in July 2011 and more to come out soon.
I love writing about characters who aren't perfect. They have problems and have to figure out ways to make their life better. Humor is sprinkled throughout my stories. It always surprises me that I'm able to write humor because I don't really find myself funny. I'm known to worry about things and stress out easy so maybe that's why I love writing humor, at least my characters are having fun!
Writing feeds my soul and I want to do it forever. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I love writing them.
