Jolyn Palliata

A little about me…

I’m married, and a mother to an insanely energetic 6-year-old. I love to write (but I’m anal, so I’m slow), and I have an imagination that keeps me up at night (which is frustrating, but I love).

I pretty much write only romance (in all sub-genres), but I have a preferance for paranormal. I also write books for adult audiences, but I blog about those on a separate site (due to adult-themed content).

Let's see...what else... I write under a pseudonym, Jolyn, but my real name is Jodi. I will answer to both, and tend to end my correspondences with “J”, thusly covering all bases.

Along with Monica, I’ll update this blog at random intervals; whenever I have a YA book to review, or think of something you may find interesting. But if there’s anything else you’d like to know (book recommendations, writing tips, etc), please, just ask. :)

In closing, here's some random information and quirks (because everybody has them):
  • I’ve been writing since I was a teenager. (So, a long time.)
  • I’m addicted to Starbucks caramel macchiatos and found it really ISN’T just overpriced coffee!
  • Organized chaos: What I’m like when I write. I have notes and ideas spread to the wind, but I somehow make it come together.
  • I love to listen to loud music…period. But especially when I have a headache (helps to drown it out).
  • When I’m overtired, I get slap happy.
  • I am most creative in the morning, though I hardly ever get to write then. I sometimes worry about the dribble I type out at night. But so far it’s turned out okay.
  • I title a book before I write it, because I’m anal enough to where that bothers me.
  • I can’t walk into a Barnes and Noble without buying a book. Even if I have a pile of unread books at home (which I do), it just doesn’t seem right to leave empty-handed. I just realized there’s a Starbucks there…this could be bad.
