Q&A with Jennifer Lynn Roche

What inspired your latest work? My work in progress, A Cruise to Nowhere, is based on my love for cruising. I want to make those who have never or can’t cruise feel like they are along for the ride. The title came from the fact that anything can occur in the middle of the vast ocean, causing you to feel powerless as what to do. It is only when you rely on your strength and work with those around you that you can overcome obstacles. 

Where do you prefer to write? I tend to be most comfortable when writing on my laptop while sitting on my comfy couch in the family room. While I have my own office at my home, I hate having to sit ridggedly at a desk for long periods of time. The downside to working on the couch is, sometimes, I get sandwiched between cats, or one of them wants to help me write by strolling over the keyboard. 

If you could go anywhere to research a book, where would you go? I have read many books that whisk you into wonderful worlds, enticing your imagination, but if I choose to write a book that included aspects of a place/country, I would choose to go to Paris. I love history and would find learning the history behind a building’s beautiful architecture. I have been to France four times, but the history there runs deep. Learning more about country would be a history lover’s dream!
