Here is a compilation of the questions that I get asked most frequently. If you have a question that I haven't answered or you need more in depth of an answer, you can comment on the blog or email me at jenniferlweil@gmail.com. I do respond. xoxo
Do you have an agent?
Nope, not yet. I self-publish most of my books. The Luminescence Trilogy is currently under contract with Nevermore Press, but I am always actively searching for an agent.

What inspired you to started writing?
Boredom? Seriously just kidding, no really I am. I have had my nose stuck in a book since I could read, which includes me pulling all-nighters and my kids eating cereal for dinner. That's what got me started. I wanted to be able to write a story that sucks the reader right in and all concept of time is gone. 'Cuz I love that excited feeling, where you just can't wait to get to the end.
Who are your favorite authors?
Umm... this might take awhile. I love so many authors, so I'll just name a few off the top of my head. Nora Roberts is my absolute favorite. I also really enjoy Richelle Mead, Johanna Lindsey, Jude Deveraux, P.C. Cast, Alyson Noel, Stephenie Meyers, J.K. Rowling, Christopher Pike, Sandra Brown, Judith McNaught, Kristin Cashore, Melissa Marr, Cassandra Clare, Suzanne Collins, Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris, Maggie Stiefvater and so many more.
I write YA because I love to read it! Friend me on http://www.goodreads.com/JLWeil for more of what I read and am reading.
Who designs your uber cool book covers?
The Divisa covers were designed by Kelly Walker, who is amazing. All other covers have been designed by moi. If I had more free time, I would love to dabble more in cover design. It is so much fun!
Where can I buy your books?
My books are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Createspace, Lulu, and the iBookstore. You should find links all over my blog.
Why can't I buy your books in stores?
That's the stinky part, because I self-publish them. They aren't available anywhere but online. It's a dream to be able to put them on the shelves. But you can get paperbacks of my books at https://www.createspace.com/3857175.
What are your favorite TV shows?
I'm a sucker for anything teen. My favorite shows currently are Teen Mom, Teen Wolf, (if it has teen in the title, I'm totally DVR'ing it) True Blood, Games of Throne, Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaires, The Secret Circle (update I heard this was cancelled, sniff sniff), Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, Nikita, Tosh.0, and 16 & Preggers. Thank goodness for my DVR. My husband says I am a sixteen year old in a 30 something's body - totally true.
Do you do interviews?
I would absolutely love to do interviews. Please email me at jenniferlweil(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm a publisher and I think your book rocks, who do I contact?
That would be me, and I think I might love you. Please email me at jenniferlweil(at)gmail(dot)com
What is the next book coming out?
Right now I am working on Book 4 in the Divisa series.
Can't wait for Chasing Angel to come out!!! I'm a bookworm high-schooler who's had my nose stuck in the divisa series since yesterday but i think it just became my new favourite series! Could you pretty please give me an estimate of when it comes out? You're awesome:)
ReplyDeleteHiya! I am so glad you found the series. I am currently working on a Novella to the Divisa series, BREAKING EMMA, which should be out the beginning of fall. My goal is to have CHASING ANGEL released before the end of the year, I know that seems so far away =)
ReplyDeleteHow many books are you planing for Angel
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, The number of books for this series keeps growing. I originally only planned to have 3 books, but I realized after Chasing Angel that I wasn't done. I am reworking the plan and am thinking 6 books total plus the 2 novellas. It is still a work in progress ;)
DeleteGreat :)
ReplyDeletethe Loving Angel will be the last in the serie?
ReplyDeleteHi! No, Loving Angel won't be the last book. There is at least one more planned, Redeeming Angel :)
DeleteWill chase and Angels relationship still be strong in loving angel?
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa,
DeleteIn Loving Angel there will be problems that test their bonds, but it because of those bonds that makes them strong. I can promise you that Chase & Angel will not be breaking up in the series =) I hate when my favorite characters break-up.
Thank you so much for becoming an author, you and Melissa Marr are my two all time favorite authors and I love your books, I have made it my goal to own all your books as soon as they hit the shelves, I already have the divisa series( minus the Emma one's cuz I'm broke lol), the Luminescence trilogy, and am about to start the Raven series. Thank you again for writing these amazing stories that you just can't put down till you're done!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww. Thanks! I absolutely love Melissa Marr <3 Your message completely made my night!!
DeleteYay!! I know you're buys with the Raven series, but I was wondering if you're going to put a story about how Chase reacted to Angel 's pregnancy and how he was during the 9months of it(no doubt would be hilariously adorable) in Eternally Angel? also if you accept fan art?
DeleteOh man, I can see Chase being over the top during her pregnancy. That is a great idea and one I might keep for a raining day. I adore fan art! I've actually been collecting them to display on my website. Just need to get around to uploading them.
