I'm excited to be hosting Jessie J today!! She has just release book in her new Kindred series, Rebuilding Hope. I got to ask her one question. "What do you love about your main character?" This is what she has to say!
Jessie J: Holden is an old soul in a young, failing body. Life had been a constant trade-off. Instead of health, he got brains. Instead of a loving family and good friends, he had the one and only Abigail to be both. But he's not bitter. Convinced that his time is limited, he puts those brains to work trying to help others and when the system tries to stop him, he goes around it. Through it all, he never loses his snark. His sense of humor shines through the darkest scenes, infiltrates his thoughts, falls out of his mind whether its the right time or not, and makes him a character you want to root for. He's not feeling sorry for himself, he has no interest in regrets. He simply wants to leave his mark and go out smiling.
Meeting Crowley changes the course he thinks he's on and shows him the path he was supposed to be following all along. Crowley is not intentionally stoic, but those around him believe that a Zenith should be shown the utmost respect. It wears a little thin and there are few places he can truly be himself. Until Holden, he doesn't realize that there could be someone to share the burden. Someone to make him smile. An equal partner who is enamored of him, but would never be overshadowed by his station. Crowley has a possessive, protective streak a mile wide, but he adores Holden's intelligence, humor, and independence and will do anything to encourage them.
Together, they made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me crazy, and I was cheering right up until the very end. I can only hope that those same feelings come through in the story.

BLURB: Holden Bancroft was born with a better than average brain and not much
else. Often described as strange and sickly, his attempts to conform only made
him look foolish and a life-long diet of pills hasn’t provided a cure. Deciding
to strengthen the only tool in his arsenal was liberating and learning became
his greatest joy. But each episode is another reminder that his time is
limited, and Holden intends to use everything he’s learned to help the small
town of Hope before he dies.
Alpha Crowley Lomond, Zenith of the Americas,
isn’t exactly happy with his ascension. Leading isn’t the problem, it’s acting
like he’s somehow better than every other shifter that chafes. But while living
and working beside them may seem noble, Crowley is more than just an alpha. As
Zenith, he’s their example, their teacher and guide, and the one they will turn
to when their way of life is threatened.
Meeting changes them in ways they never could
have predicted and unveils a web of deceit that began long before they were
born. Together, they will have to unravel the lies and reconcile the
consequences if they are to protect the shifter way of life. Along the way,
Crowley will become the Zenith his Kindred was born to love and their enemies
will learn that there's nothing more dangerous than fated mates.

AUTHOR BIO
Like many readers,
I've dreamed of being a writer most of my life. Thanks to social media, I was
able to follow my favorite authors and hoped to glean some words of wisdom as I
pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. It isn’t always easy,
but it’s definitely been worth it and with four series in the works and a full
schedule of releases planned for the next two years, it's been amazing to have
made this dream my reality.
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics, and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families—biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout my books.
