Slyce: Brothers and Sistah’s, please welcome our sistah, Author Jae Tene to “The Interrogation Room”!! Welcome my sistah :-). Are you ready?
Slyce: What inspired you to become an author?
JT: I’ve always wanted to be an author but to be honest reading Various authors and how they tell their stories and then how hey made me feel. I wanted to give my readers that same feeling and I knew I had the talent since I was a little girl so to showcase it meant the world to me.
Slyce: What is the name of your publishing company?
JT: Mz Lady P Presents
Slyce: In what genre do you write?
JT: Urban Literature but I have also branches out recently for Paranormal Urban Fiction.
Slyce: Have you penned under another name?
JT: Nope, it’s just Jae Tene
Slyce: You wrote a book titled, “Cursed In The Hood”. What was this book about?
JT: “Cursed in the Hood” is about Fiona, a biracial young woman who has been hit by tragedy so much that it becomes normal. While recovering and building herself back up she ends up encountering a witch and from there her life takes a drastic change.
I’m still deciding, if the readers want a Part two I could see it. We shall see *wink*
Slyce: When is the release date?
JT: “Cursed in the Hood will” be available as soon as possible. I’ll make sure to post it on Facebook- the SLYCE GROUP so if you want to read about Fiona and her journey make sure you’re following SLYCE GROUP because they will get the link first!
Slyce: Is your book an eBook and/or paperback?
JT: This will be eBook and paperback.
Slyce: How important is research?
JT: Beyond important. These readers are smart and if you sell someone something in your book for the wrong price they will know or if you talking about a store or location you have to make sure your readers feel that they are there. Doing that research will help you give them all of that.
Slyce: How important are interviews?
JT: Very important. Just as reviews shows the Author their growth, interviews show readers the growth as well. It’s gets you excited about a new Release and what the author has for the future as well as new readers if they have never heard anything from an author.
Slyce: How important are reviews?
JT I think they’re important for growth and to see how people enjoy your books. I don’t want anyone to feel the way I felt at first thinking nobody liked my book because they didn’t leave a review. Some people love your books just don’t like to leave reviews. Me personally I love them and love to see what people thought good or bad. It builds be either way at my craft.
Slyce: What does the term, “Building a Brand” mean?
JT: Building a brand means building a foundation for your readers to fall back on. Meaning, when they see your name they know what type of heat you’re bringing and that you will fulfill their needs.
Slyce: What steps are you taking to build your brand?
JT: I’ve created accounts to keep up with my readers as well as interacting with them and getting a feel of what they desire from me as an author.
Slyce: What goals would you like to achieve as an author?
JT: I hope to one day have a best seller or two or three haha, I want to touch someone. I want my books to help someone heal or push harder to be better. Thugs Paradise helped me through a few things and I have always thanked Mz Lady P for that.
Slyce: What advice can you offer those aspiring to become an author?
JT: Push and know your talent. Know that you have a gift and even if your style doesn’t fit their ideas it’s a great style. Don’t let this views change you because you are great!
Slyce: Is there anything else cooking in the lab for Author Jae Tene?
JT: Indeed I have The Plug and His First Lady Part two coming as well as some finales that a few readers have waited for. It will be worth it guys thank you!
Slyce: Do you write for the passion or the profit?
JT: Passion it’s relaxing and it helps me battle so many things I have lent up inside. I find myself writing when I can’t find the word to speak with my partner or even friends and family. Some how my characters helps me through the issue.
