This tour has been a blast, a huge thank you to all the authors for participating and for all the fantastic people that stopped by to comment!
Today I'm excited to welcome Jordan Deen to the blog to answer a few questions so we can get to know her a little better!

When do most of your good ideas hit you? Are you a dreamer, or do they come in the middle of the day?
Hi Jenny! Thank you so much for hosting the authors of the Crossroads Tour!
I get ideas anywhere and anytime. I carry notebooks with me everywhere. In fact, it’s gotten so bad that I now have a mini laptop I carry with me and I’ve started writing everywhere I go.
What is your favorite aspect of the werewolf genre?
It’s not necessarily the werewolf genre I’m obsessed with- it’s more the “shifter” type of genre that I love. I love being able to write these unstoppable creatures that can go anywhere and do anything. It’s amazing.
Do you have a favorite scene in The Crescent, one that was particularly fun to write or one that you are most proud of?
The best scene for me personally, is the scene that Lacey leaves Alex half dressed and stumbles home drunk. She ends up falling over Grant, her oversized dog, on the sidewalk. I laughed my way through the whole scene. It was an awesome experience.
Can you give us one fun fact about you personally or about your approach to writing?
I seriously have conversations with my characters:) Yes, I know. But I do. I listen to them and let them play out their feelings in my head. There isn’t a moment in the day (while I’m working on a book) that I don’t have conversations, emotions, feelings, and situations going on in my head with my characters. It helps me connect with them and perfect their unique voices.
If writing about wolves were banned as subject matter, what would you choose to write about next?
Oooh, that’s terrible. Who in the heck would ban werewolves? Vampires? :) That would be really hard. I’ve wanted to write an angel novel for awhile, but there are so many great ones on the market right now, I’m not sure I could compete with them right now!
Thanks so much to Jordan for stopping by and answering all my questions! The second book in The Crescent trilogy, Half Moon, releases January 13, 2011 so be sure and add it to your to-be-read list! For more information on Jordan and her books, you can find her here:

THE CRESCENT (from Goodreads)
Becoming a werewolf is not an option for seventeen-year-old Lacey Quinn, but death can be a strong motivator. Lacey is so focused on her future that everyday life has passed her by. Counting down the days to her eighteenth birthday, Lacey is almost home free. But when she falls for the mysterious Alex Morris, she lands in the middle of an ancient war between two enemy wolf packs. Tempting dreams, tantalizing lies and a dangerous love triangle ensues leaving Lacey heartbroken and confused. Lacey's fate rests in the hands of Alex and Brandon, but both are pulling her strings for their own agendas. Even as she slips further into the dark world of werewolves, Lacey struggles to find the truth and save the only family she's ever know.
