Hello Ella – It’s great to have you
as a guest on Arabella’s Blog and Chit-Chat. We connected through our publisher
– Beachwalk Press, where, in case your readers don’t know, there are lots of your sexy, hot romances to be found. But before we hear about your latest
self-published novel - The Secrets We Keep - here are a few questions which will hopefully give your readers
and followers an insight into some of the things that matter to you.
Arabella: When writing a
novel, how do you work? Are you a plotter or pantser?
Ella: I
start out a plotter. I usually write the ending first so I know where I’m
headed. The beginning and the end are pretty much set when I start. It’s the
middle that takes me places I don’t always expect.
Arabella: Where do you
read? Sofa or bed or ____?
Ella: I mostly read in bed.
Ever since I was a child, reading was how I ended my day.
Arabella: In your latest
release, The Secrets We Keep, who is your favourite character and why?
Ella: Xavier
is my favorite character. As with most of my heroes, he is complicated. I liked
having to fix him. Knowing he carried a pretty significant secret through most
of the book made him even more challenging to write.
Arabella: Which would you
prefer to do: 1) spend a morning vigorously working out at the gym, 2) be
pampered from head to toe at the spa and beauty salon, 3) indulge and pile on
the pounds with a romantic dinner for two?
Ella: Can
I pick all three? Most of my mornings are spent working out and every time I
finish writing a book, I treat myself to a massage because my neck and back
can’t take anymore. I’ll always take the fattening romantic dinner for two!
Arabella: Which of the following would you rather wear?
1)
beach shorts and top
2)
evening skirt and blouse
3)
pyjamas and slippers
Ella: I’m
a PJ girl all the way! I like being comfortable.
Arabella: We all have a
long list of books we keep meaning to read but never have the time for ---
which book is a must read for you this season?
Ella: I
have so many on my Kindle. I keep promising myself I’m going to get to 11-22-63
by Steven King.
Arabella: What about your
future plans? Any books or series in the making?
Ella: I
have the third book in my Clark Brothers Series, Waiting for Max, releasing in September. My goal for 2021 is to finish my Mafia Heat
Series. Book four is scheduled for February and I’m probably being really
ambitious but I want to get the last two out by the end of 2021.
Thank you for joining me on the
blog, Ella. Xavier sounds hot, and I’m keen to discover
what his secret is.
Wishing you all the best for The Secrets We Keep, and I’ll also keep an eye out for Waiting for Max.

About
Ella Jade
Ella Jade - Author |
USA Today bestselling author Ella Jade has been writing for as long
as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and
now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always
played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all
changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a
rapid pace and now she can't be stopped.
Ella resides in New Jersey with her
husband, two teenage boys and a feisty Chihuahua writing companion. When she's
not chasing after her kids, she's busy creating sexy, domineering men and the
strong women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom. She
hopes you'll get lost in her words.
Social Media:
I didn’t
plan to lie but now it’s my only option.
Kara
My husband
left me.
Our life
was perfect or so I thought.
We adopted
a gorgeous little girl.
Our very
own miracle.
After my
divorce, I meet an intriguing stranger.
Rich, powerful,
sexy, and determined.
He’s
wonderful to my daughter.
He treats
her like she’s his own.
I find
myself in a fairytale.
Every story
has something dark lurking at the surface.
Xavier has
a secret.
Xavier
My late
ex-girlfriend kept a secret from me.
She had our
child but gave her up for adoption.
Four years
later, I’ve uncovered the truth.
The woman
raising my daughter is beautiful, loving, and intelligent.
Any man
would be lucky to have her.
And then
there is my child.
The love I
didn’t know existed.
I don’t
know how to disrupt their world and tell them who I am.
I insert
myself into their lives instead, hoping to get what I want.
I’ve fallen
for Kara but our beginning is built on a lie.
That’s my
fault.
How can I
tell her who I am, without losing her?
Without
losing them?
