Welcome A.L. Jackson to my blog. It’s awesome to have you visiting. Please tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hey everyone! I’m A.L. Jackson, author of Pulled, Take This Regret, When We Collide, and Lost to You.  I’m over here in Southern Arizona where I spend my days writing wrapped up in a zebra Snuggie J Don’t laugh. I hate winter.

How did you decided to enter the world of writing?

I’ve always loved writing. I used to carry a journal around with me in college, and I wrote a lot of poetry at that time. It wasn’t until years later when I had the idea for Pulled that I finally decided to sit down and write a novel.

What does your family think of your writing?
They’re all really supportive. My husband is the best. I can often get really lost in my head when I write, so I know that has to be frustrating for family. It means so much that they all respect what I do and support me through it all.

Where do you get your ideas?

So far with all of my books, one character has just shown up in my head. I can see their face and get some kind of idea of their situation. I’m sure there’s something that triggers it, but I haven’t ever been conscious of it. Then I build the story and other characters around that idea.

Can you tell us a little about your book?

My newest release is a novella called Lost to You. It’s the prequel to Take This Regret, and shows us how Elizabeth and Christian first got together. I was really nervous to write a novella, but I ended up enjoying this so much. 

What is your writing process? 

Normally when a story idea comes to me, I think on it for a while, and then try to begin jotting down some ideas. I do write an outline and try to break the concept down into chapters so I have a good grasp on where I want to go with the story. From there, I write chapter by chapter. And then of course a big edit at the end. 

WhenWeCollide.indd

What was the hardest part for you when working on your book? 

I’m an impatient person and I like everything done NOW. But I’m a slow writer. In every aspect of my life, I work really quickly and love the results, so the amount of time it takes me to write can be kind of frustrating. I’m slowly coming to accept that it just takes me a while to get these stories down. 

Was there a scene that you didn’t add or you removed in your finished work? 

Not in Lost to You. The end result basically ended up the same as my first draft (but with editing, of course) and one extra scene I ended up adding at the end. But I definitely have deleted scenes in my full-length books.   

Do you have a favorite character (from your book)? Why?

In Lost to You, definitely Christian. He’s so easy to fall in love with, but he’s also incredibly flawed. I love being in his confused thoughts. 

Do you already know what to write next? Can you tell us? 

Yes, I have an outline ready for my next book. I don’t have a name yet, but I can tell you it will be an NA romance. No long flashbacks this time, just a lot of intensity and angst.

Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz Hot Sexy Playboy interview

 I’m waiting for Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz to arrive for our meeting.  I’m at the coffee shop that is located down the street from the De La Cruz Inc.  There are several patio tables under some oak trees.   I’m excited to meet this year’s selection for the Hot Sexy Playboy in Southern California.

Okay, he’s finally arrived. Oh dios mio, he’s a gorgeous man.  Ricardo Emmanuel would be described as hot.  Ricardo has a square jaw with awesome high cheek bones.  His nose is straight and he has full delicious lips.  Ricky is tall and lean with defined muscles. He has incredible green eyes with long black eyelashes. His skin tone is golden brown. He maintains his black hair a little long, just reaching his collar.  Wow, no wonder the chicas chase him. He’s HOT!  

I would like to introduce Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz.  Ricky is an attorney and he’s a manager in his familia’s company.  He’s young wealthy, confident, fun-loving, and warm.  He’s a gentleman, assertive, and sexy.  Ricardo is in control of his life.

Hi Ricardo, thank you for allowing this interview.  It’s fantastic that you’re this year’s selection for the Hot Sexy Playboy in Southern California. 

Hi Patricia, it’s an incredible surprise.  I never expected to be selected as the playboy in Southern California.  I definitely never contemplated that I’m viewed as a playboy.

Ricardo can you tell us what drives you?

I’m driven to help my familia’s company to excel. My deepest desire is to seek my alma gemela (soul mate). I’m tired of the crazy chicas that chase me.  I’m baffled that Jacqueline runs away from me.  This is a first and my greatest challenge yet.

What is Ricardo Emmanuel’s favorite guilty pleasure?

I love my mama’s tortas, but my number one guilty pleasure is to make love.  I love to make love, but now I only want one mujer.

Ricardo what is your weakness?

My weakness is women and I’m going loco. I only want Jacqueline Cortez.  She’s my weakness.

Ricardo what is your fondest memory? 

My fondest memory is the day that I saw Jacqueline for the first time.  That day was incredible.  I obviously can’t describe the moment (Ricky grins).

Ricardo can you share three of your deepest, darkest secrets. 

I do not enjoy the chica’s chasing me.  I would prefer to do the chasing.  Jacqueline and I have been seeing each other for a while and the familia doesn’t know. 

A biography has been written about you. What do you think the title would be in six words or less? 

Ricardo’s world is rocked hard. 

The next time I will not let her leave. 

Why do I always have these locas after me? 

Ricardo what is your favorite sexy food?  

I love chocolate covered strawberries. 

I love to make love to my reina Jacqueline, because it feels like coming home.  It’s pure red hot pasión and amor. 

What is it about Jacqueline that drives you loco?

The key element that drives me loco for Jacqueline is that she’s my alma gemela (soul mate). She rages through my blood, is etched in my alma, and fused to my corazon.  I love that Jacqueline is sweet and natural.  The best part is that she’s delicious, passionate, and only mia for eternity.

Ricardo it has been a pleasure interviewing you.   I can see why you were selected for this year Hot Sexy Playboy in Southern California.

Patricia, I want to thank you for such an enjoyable visit. (He grins winking at me.)

Hot & Enchanting Is Now Available!  Book_cover_final 11-26-12 Andres perfect

A hot-blooded saga of the De La Cruz familia and their fortunes is centered on romance, pasión, and danger. Enjoy their explosively passionate nature.

Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz is the hot sexy alpha playboy of the De La Cruz familia. As an attorney and one of the managers in the familia’s company, he enjoys being pursued by the chicas.  They have been chasing him his entire life.

Ricky literally runs into Jacqueline Cortez. She’s a bella, shy, and quiet certified public accountant that works for la familia.  Jacqueline turns his world upside down.

Jacqueline Cortez has been in love with Ricardo her entire life. She never dreamed that running into him would unleash the amor she had locked up a long time ago.  Will she be able to outrun Ricardo and avoid being his next conquest? How long can Jacqueline resist Ricardo’s attentions? Is she doomed to fall under his enchantment and into his waiting arms?

Excerpt

Ricky is in a hurry getting out of his carro, damn it I’m almost out of time. We have a meeting with the new client and I have to make sure that the contracts are correct before I turn them over for Jose Enrique’s review. Si I hate running behind schedule and I’m always on it. I don’t usually arrive so early at the office, thinks Ricky grabbing his portfolio from his carro.

Ricky strides into the hall to get the elevator, missing it, watching the doors close. He stops in shock, damn it, that’s the hermosa muneca from yesterday, thinks Ricky standing, watching her just before the doors close.

Wow, I totally missed an opportunity to talk to the muneca. How can I get to know her? I know that she recognizes me. She is looking at me with shock. Yeah, she didn’t expect to see me and I sure as hell didn’t expect to see her.  I need to talk to her outside of the building. I don’t want to cause any issues with la familia’s company employees, ponders Ricky impatiently waiting for the elevator to come down. I know that she works here, but a lot of good that does me. My body won’t calm down, I’m totally awake now. I don’t know what it is about her that provokes these amazing overwhelming reactions.
