I recently had time to chat with J M Warwick author of A Season Of Eden!
Where did the idea of the book come from?
Girls having crushes on their teachers is nearly as old as sin itself. In fact, I don't know many girls who didn't have a crush on a teacher at one point in their schooling career! I did. But he was waaay old and more fatherly than a hottie like James Christian.
How long did it take you to complete the book?
About 3 months to write, another 3 to edit.
How long did it take from the start of the book and getting it published?
About 2 years. But, as you know, I am indie pubbed. The concept of the cover, the book trailer and all was my idea. I LOVE the cover. LOVE the back, with the piano keys. I really like publishing my own stuff because I can keep control over the creative aspect.
Did you listen to music when writing this book?
Totally. Eden's soundtrack is moody, dark and sexy. I only wish I'd found CHANCES by Athletes earlier. That song pretty much embodies A SEASON OF EDEN.
Do you have any writing advice for aspiring writers?
Read a lot and find good critique partners. Good critique partners are as essential as a good marriage partner. :)
What is your next project and when will it be in our hands?
Next project is another YA project: OVERPROTECTED, about a girl whose father goes to obsessive lengths to keep her safe.
Thanks for taking time out to talk to us!

Ooh, thanks for posting the interview. This book looks really great. Yeah, I can relate, I had crushes on lots of male teachers growing up, never had the stones to do anything about it like the protagonist!
