WELCOME
LIV ARNOLD
AUTHOR OF:
Rad-Reader: Did you always plan on the courtroom scene between Juliet and Jesse or did you try different scenes first?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Was it your plan to just have Juliet’s character to be knowing what she was thinking about her neighbor in the courtroom and not Jesse mind?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: How did you come up with the idea of her getting locked out of her house with the only towel on?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Did you always have the scene with her falling into the hedges or did you come up with that one later?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Had you or someone you have known tried the balance on an upturned pot plant and a pile of bricks or did you just come up with that idea?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: I noticed during their time together after he gets her door open, Juliet is not saying anything nice to him or is that just the way she talks to him?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Was this book always going to be a short, story?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Follow up question – have you thought about going back to these characters for a more in-depth story?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: You had a lot of different personalities in this story, but you also showed how people are always, not who or what you think they may be – with the two lead characters and Dr. Mendes, was that intentional?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Was there any reason that we don’t get any version of the two of them from Jesse’s POV?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Is it difficult to write a shorter story than a longer story?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: Was Dr. Mendes always part of your original story or did you decide to add that character?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: If your book was made into a movie who would want to play…
Juliet: Morena Baccarin
Jesse: Jai Courtney

Juliet: Zoe Kravitz or

Rad-Reader: What song or songs best describes your couple or your book as a whole and the story of them?
“Kelly Rowland – Kisses Down Low”
“Bob Seger – Horizontal Bop”
Liv:
Rad-Reader: What is your favorite genre to read?
Liv:
I started writing romance
because my husband plays computer games all night. I thought ‘why not invent my
own book boyfriend’. I used to read out romance passages to him to give him a
gentle nudge.
I read all types of genres
though – young adult, thriller, murder mystery, fantasy, etc.
Rad-Reader: What other genres would you like to write that besides this one?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: How long did it take to get your first book published?
Liv:
But my writing journey, in
general, was different. I never thought a traditional book contract would ever
happen for me. I believed it was equivalent to movie or record deals. The odds
are so highly stacked against you and people are often discouraging.
I networked with authors
through social media and started a blog where I interviewed successful writers
– I still do this. I learned so many amazing tips such as building my online
presence, elevator pitches and being persistent.
Initially, I received
multiple rejections from publishers. Sometimes with detailed feedback and
requests for a revise and resubmit. I gotta admit, this stung every time. I
wondered what I was doing wrong and if I was even any good at writing.
But so many author
friends told me to keep persisting. So, I kept working on my craft, took on
feedback and experimented with different story ideas.
I also followed a lot of
publishers’ Facebook page. Sometimes they post about the type of stories they
wanted to read. That’s when I saw a call out from The Wild Rose Press.
Rad-Reader: Do you write fulltime?
Liv:
Rad-Reader: What is your next project and when is it coming out?
Liv:
Here’s a little
something about it:
Vanessa Lang is thrilled
when she lands her dream job at an investment company, Stone Corp. But when her
kleptomaniac mother is caught shoplifting and faces a criminal record, Vanessa
accepts a deal to find evidence of insider trading at Stone Corp.
On her first day, in
walks the handsome Sebastian Stone, CEO and the man of her dreams. Determined
to save her mom, however, she spies and gathers information about the company.
But there’s one small problem—she starts to fall in love with Sebastian.
How far you would go to
protect the people you love? Who will Vanessa choose, her family or her soulmate?
