What’s your favorite piece of writing advice you’ve received? Basically set everyone free and read books. What’s your favorite quote about reading or writing? If money were no object, what would be your dream writing location? Where can readers find you on the web and social media? Hiking, pilates, yoga, long walks, mindless TV, shuttling between lacrosse and track meets, lazing on the beach, and creating plots in my head while participating in these activities.ĭo you belong to any writing organizations? Spending time with my family and our two dogs. If you’re not reading or writing, what would we catch you doing? That’s the mark you want to leave on readers. I cried myself to sleep upon completion and still think about Jude. The book was both beautiful and haunting. What book do you wish you had written, and why?įifty Shades…Ha….I wish I had written A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. I write with a lot of heart so many of the stories touch me deeply, on a personal level, and if I can share the wisdom with readers it’s most worthwhile. The universal appeal-touching women’s lives with my words. What do you love about writing women’s fiction? I tend to get distracted and restless at times and need to change my environment throughout the day meaning I can often write on multiple computers in multiple rooms upstairs and downstairs. I write every day while the kids are at school. Tell us a bit about your writing process. Now, I’m very happy to introduce Rochelle to all of you! She gave me two unputdownable reads in the space of a week, so I was elated when she accepted my offer of representation! So while she was mulling over my offer, I went back and downloaded one of her previous books and again found myself up until the wee hours of the morning.
She successfully self-published WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND and THE MOURNING AFTER and then released WHERE WE FALL with Lake Union Publishing. Rochelle had previously written three other women’s fiction novels.
I was completely invested in those characters, and I knew that given what a long day I’d had, the fact that I hadn’t been able to put it down meant that this book was truly something special. And I read and read and read and ended up finishing the book late that night. I was physically and emotionally exhausted, but I was so excited to see her manuscript had arrived, that I started reading immediately. I haven’t shared this with Rochelle before, but the night I read her submission I’d just traveled home from a family funeral in Pennsylvania.
I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome women’s fiction author Rochelle Weinstein to the BookEnds team!
