In the Spotlight – Jinx Schwartz

jinx desk on boat 4Jinx Schwartz is our special guest today and she’s going to chat with us about Book 5 in the Hetta Coffey series, Just the Pits. So sit back and enjoy reading about this awesome author!

About Jinx Schwartz

Raised in the jungles of Haiti and Thailand, with returns to Texas in-between, Jinx followed in her father’s steel-toed footsteps into the construction and engineering industry in hopes of building dams. Finding all the good rivers taken, she “traveled the world defacing other landscapes with mega-projects in Alaska, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Mexico.”

Like the protagonist in her mystery series, Hetta Coffey, Jinx was a single woman with a yacht—and she wasn’t afraid to use it—when she met her husband, “Mad Dog” Schwartz. They opted to become cash-poor cruisers rather than continue chasing the rat, sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, turned left and headed for Mexico. They now divide their time between Arizona and Mexico’s Sea of Cortez.

Join me for more about the fascinating Jinx and her recent novel!

In the Spotlight – Jenn Nixon

JennBW

It’s a pleasure to welcome Jenn Nixon, a fellow author from Crescent Moon Press, with her intriguing new novel, Mind: The Beginning. A sci fi thriller that sounds right up my alley, I can’t wait to give this one a read.

About Jenn Nixon

Jenn’s love of writing started the year she received her first diary and Nancy Drew novel. Throughout her teenage years, she kept a diary of her personal thoughts and feelings but graduated from Nancy Drew to other mystery suspense novels.

Jenn often adds a thriller and suspense element to anything she writes be it Romance, Science Fiction, or Fantasy. When not writing, she spends her time reading, observing pop culture, playing with her two dogs, and working on various charitable projects in her home state of New Jersey.

It’s a pleasure to host Suzanna Williams for The Finishing Fairies Book Tour!

About Suzanna Williams

Suzanna is a perpetually eighteen year old YA author who lives in the wild, wet, Welsh borderlands surrounded by ruined medieval castles and Celtic mythology where she looks for UFO’s amongst the stars and imagines all the people she meets have dark secrets.

When she is not inventing radical problems for her unsuspecting heroes and plotting their escape, Suzanna is a serial collector of random badly paying jobs and has never found a use for her BSc in Psychology whatsoever.

As a child, Suzanna filled notebook after notebook with stories and her first taste of writing success was a poem published in the local newspaper aged just nine years old. She has written and directed several plays and pantomimes before publishing her debut novel, ShockWaves, in 2012.

Suzanna loves sci-fi action adventures, playing the piano, believes Romeo and Juliet should have talked more and considers sarcasm to be the highest form of wit.

She has a daughter who is a drummer, another daughter who is a driving instructor, a son who is a dancer and a ‘nearly’ grandson she’s dying to meet.
