Haven't heard of DAMAGED GOODS? Check it out!
Hi Jennifer! First I want to say welcome back to Two Chicks on Books! DAMAGED GOODS was absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait for everyone to read it! And am so happy that you could stop by for a visit!
Jennifer: Thank you so much for having me on your blog!
For the readers: can you tell us a little bit about DAMAGED GOODS and the characters?
witness. Blanca wants justice, but she also wants to protect the people she loves.
Jennifer: All of my characters are fictional, but I did put a lot of my passion about mothering into the character of Pilar. I don’t yell as much, but I am pretty fierce when it comes to protecting my children.
Jennifer: My favorite character to write was Cal McNeal because to me he represents the type of father everyone would like to have. Cal will do anything to maintain a positive relationship with his son Seth, and even though Cal makes mistakes he always tries to fix them. The YA community talks a lot about book-boyfriends, but I think book-fathers are equally important.
What is your favorite passage/scene in DAMAGED GOODS?
Jennifer: I don’t want to give away spoilers, but the airplane scenes were fun to write, especially the second one. Hopefully, I catch a lot of people off guard and freak them out.
Jennifer: I spent an extensive amount of time researching brainwashing for both GENESIS GIRL and DAMAGED GOODS. If the FBI ever got ahold of my record at the public library, they would probably think I’m plotting to form an evil cult.
Jennifer: This might sound cliché, but I have to say Peeta Mellark from THE HUNGER GAMES. I love his kindness and devotion.
Jennifer: When I was in high school I never got to read anything fun. All of my time was devoted to trying to take down my academic nemesis, and beat him to the valedictorian stage. I was obsessed! If a book wasn’t on my AP reading list, I didn’t read it. Now I’m enjoying a much more relaxed approach to reading, which is why GENESIS GIRL and DAMAGED GOODS are meant to be entertaining, fast-paced, and fun.
Thanks so much Jenny for answering my questions! I can’t wait for everyone to read DAMAGED GOODS!
