Bruises of the Heart

Please help me welcome J.J. Nite as she tells us about her latest release Bruises of the Heart.
I love the title!
According to my family, I've always been a storyteller. When I was little, my father would come home from work and ask what we did that day. I told these elaborate stories of the places we had been and the people we had seen. In reality we had never left the house. As for writing it all down, that came much later.
2 – Three kids, a dog, turtle, and 5 goldfish – what’s your secret when it comes to time management?
Coffee!! And an understanding family. I carry a notebook around with me and write things down whenever I get the chance. Then at night when the kids are in bed and the menagerie has settled in, I grab my laptop and work for a bit.
3 – Tell us how you came up with the story "Bruises of the Heart".
"Bruises of the Heart" was written several years ago. I had finished writing another book, but wasn't ready to let the characters go yet. Or rather they didn't want to let me go! Tori had a story to tell and I got very little sleep until I finally started to get it all down on paper. The subject of relationship abuse between teens hadn't been widely talked about, but I thought there was a story to tell and I've received a lot of positive feedback.
4 – Tell us about your current project.
I have a new release from Astraea Press coming out in August titled "Beginnings of the Heart". It is Tori's mothers story and also a Regency Christmas novella "His Christmas Bride" that will release in the fall from AP as well. There are a few other projects I'm working on and you may see a few familiar faces show up in those!

J. Nite lives in North Alabama with her husband, 3 kids, a dog, turtle, and 5
goldfish. She devours books like some people eat chocolate! She's also found
that if she doesn't write something everyday, her mood is that of a bear waking
from hibernation. Don't worry though, the children have learned to let Mommy
write a little before approaching.
