Interview with author Teagan Hunter

1 – Have you always wanted to be a writer?

Sort of. When I was younger, I really wanted to combine my love of writing and reading and work for a music magazine doing some sort of editing/writing combo.

2 – When you start a book series – do you know the couples who will appear in the following books? Do you know what the plot will be?

It depends. For my latest series, Roommate Romps, I did know all the characters, who they would end up with, and the plots before I even began Loathe Thy Neighbor. I usually like to at least have a trope in mind before I begin a series.

3 – Did you write a book and decide not to publish it?

No, thankfully I haven’t had that happen yet.

4 – Is there a topic you will never write about? If so, what is it?

I can’t see myself covering anything super serious. I’ve touched on heavier subjects before, but I like to keep my books light and fun. So nothing too sad or heavy.

5 – By what do you choose a cover for a book?

For my contemporary romances, I went with couples because that’s what I looked for in a contemporary romances. For my romantic comedies, I tend to stick with men only on the covers. I try to find something on the cover to really pop, like the title font or coloring.

6 – Where did you get the inspiration for the stories?

All over! Sometimes it’s just a simple conversation I’ve had or overheard at Starbucks. Sometimes it’s a dream. I’ve never based an entire book off my real life exactly, but I have borrowed some elements.

7 – Who is your favorite couple you wrote about?

I know we’re not supposed to pick favorites and a lot of authors will say “whoever I’m currently writing”, but even to this day, Zach and Delia from Let’s Get Textual are my favorite couple of mine. Probably because they remind me so much of my husband and me.

8 – How long does it take you to write one book?

The fasted I’ve ever finished a book is in 16 days. Others have taken me two months. It really just depends on the story.

9 – What is your favorite genre to read?

Romance! I love it and always have. I’ve been reading it since I was young, and I can’t seem to ever give it up.

10 – If you could turn one of your books into a movie – which book would you choose?

I’d love to see the Texting Series turned into a TV series. I think that cast of characters has a really good and fun dynamic. But I honestly wouldn’t be mad about any series being turned into a movie/TV show.
