DO YOU SUPPORT YOUR SPOUSE?



How well do you stick with the only person you took an oath to be with for life?

When your wife is anxious about work do you tell her not to bother or do you ignore her worries and fears?
If your husband is planning to ask his boss for a raise or setting up a business, or going for an interview, pray for his success and text to wish him luck. And when he returns, have ready words of celebration or encouragement depending on the outcome. Tell him you believe in his ability, that it’s only a question of time before he achieves his dream, or clinch his desired job. Say it until he believes it. He’ll remember your words of support in his quiet moment and he’ll draw strength from that. Husbands do the same for your wives.

Are you trying for a baby and is taking too long? Why don’t you explore the route of adoption? You’ll be doing more for humanity than you can ever realize. And in time you may have your own children. It’s a time to stick together, not to tear apart.

Husband and wife join hands to make your home a warm sanctuary, where you can return each day from the stress of daily living. A ready smile, a warm hug, a kiss on the lips, a rub on the back, a massage around the neck and shoulders to relieve tension and collecting the bag of shopping at the door will go a long way to show your love, comfort and support. Share your news and dreams - good or bad. Soften the blows others deal out to either of you.
Husband, heal your wife’s physical, social, spiritual or emotional wounds, above all believe in her.

Most importantly, women open your mouth with wisdom and let your tongue be filled with kind words. When you call your husband unprintable names for any reason, you show gross disrespect and display unwholesome values. One way out is to apologize and state exactly what you’re unhappy with.

A wife whose husband’s heart safely trusts in her, who does her husband good, not evil and who willingly works with her hand to financially support her family...her worth is far above precious stones, her children will rise up and call her blessed, her husband will praise her and her own works will praise her too. When they speak of women, you will be tooted as excelling them all.

When my husband calls me ‘My Beautiful One’ I feel like I’m floating in a cloudless sky.

Love isn’t love except you give it away.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW with JAMI GRAY

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

URBAN FANTASY AUTHOR of SHADOW'S EDGE

Author name: Jami Gray


About your family/background, your location:

I grew up on the Arizona-Mexico border. When I was adopted at the age of 14, I found myself as the fifth eldest of 37 children. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s in Journalism and three minors-History, English, and Theatre. Shortly after marrying my techie-geek hubby (who moonlighted as my best friend in high school) I completed a Masters in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix, Oregon. After a few stops along the west coast, I have settled in the Southwest. Currently I am outnumbered in my own home by two Star Wars obsessed boys, one Star Wars obsessed husband, and an overly-friendly, 105-pound male Labrador.

How and why did you decide to get published?
I’ve been writing since I was a teenager. It’s been a cheap form of therapy for me. I’ve had a couple of non-fiction pieces published over the years, but my main love has always been fiction. I didn’t start getting serious about submitting to publishers until I joined my critique group a few years back. They administered the swift kick in the butt, I needed to move forward with my writing.

What genre do you write? And why?

Urban Fantasy. Having worlds where magic exists has always fascinated me. Plus, I’ve always been drawn to heroines who have survived the crucibles of challenging pasts and emerged like finely honed blades on the other side. However, even the most beautiful weapons forged in searing heat have their own hidden flaws. I think these flaws make a character much more human. And you can’t have such strong women without providing equally strong partner to walk beside them.

What other genre interest you?

Murder mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

What is the story behind your book?

Conspiracy theories have always poked at my interest. I had read some article, I can’t remember where now, that discussed possible gene therapy on humans. It sparked a series of “What if…” questions. By the time I had exhausted my “What if’s” I had my world and an intriguing main character.

How do you decide your book cover?

I worked with Kim Killion and together we created a cover we thought would bring all the edginess and tension across to the readers.
Do you think readers decide based on book cover or book title?
I think covers and titles tend to be the thing that snags a reader’s attention. Once they pick it up, then the blurb can help finish reeling them in.

If you write fiction; What’s the source of your inspiration? How much of YOU show up in your writing?

My inspiration stems from trying to find explanations for those things and occurrences that have no logical reason for existing. I think it’s the same logic most Urban Fantasy writers use when they develop their stories. As for pieces of me in my writing? Maybe, but I’ll never tell!

Use one word/phrase to describe your book.

Hold on tight, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

How have you found the writing process?

I’m what’s called a “pantser”, I write by the seat of my pants. I know…I’m a type-A personality so you would expect detailed outlines, character sheets and PowerPoint graphs, but nope, I start with an overall idea, some appealing characters and an intriguing problem and let it go. It’s a frightening way to write, but I’ve found it works best for me. The more I outlined a plot, the farther away from it I went. My characters want to make their own stories, so I let them.

Have you ever experienced writer’s block?

Many times, but the key is to keep putting the words out there. Eventually, they’ll fall into place.

Do you have a blog? What do you write about?

My blog is at www.jamigray.wordpress.com and I’m part of the 7 Evil Dwarves. My blogs cover everything from writing to my everyday life.

What books are on your shelf at home?

Oh man! That could take up pages! I have so many books. Jim Butcher, CE Murphy, Laurell Hamilton, JR Ward, Patricia Briggs, Kelly Gay, Kelley Meding, Gena Showalter, Kerrilyn Sparks, Kresley Cole, Illona Andrews, Lloyd Alexander, Terry Brooks, Tami Hoag, the list goes on for eons!

Who’s your favourite author?

Too hard to pick…

What are you good at as an individual?

I would hope being a wife and mom, but also just being true to myself.
What form of entertainment do you enjoy most and why?
Besides reading? Listening to music, biking, yoga and spending time with my family.

Your favourite pet?

I absolutely adore my Labrador retriever! You can’t find better dogs.
What’s your choice meal/favourite restaurant?
Mexican.

What’s your music choice?

That list is about as long as my books. I have very eclectic tastes. Everyone from Enya and Tori Amos to Nine Inch Nails and Linkin Park. Sprinkle in some Depeche Mode, Seether, Nickleback, Three Days Grace and Toby Keith. It’s a very fun mix!

Name your favourite city in the world.

London.

Name your favourite world leader and why

Right now, I don’t have one.

If you had one wish, what would it be?

That our children will inherit a better world than we did.

If you can change one thing, what would it be?

Compassion, there needs to be more of it now days.

What would you say you’re bad at?

This one is easy—anything having to do with maths.

What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done?

Hmmm…there’ve been a couple of incidents over the years. Probably the best—forgetting my marriage license the day we were married.

Anything else your readers don’t know about you?

I am a huge fan of Leslie Nielsen from the Airplane movies.

What’s your favourite quote?

“I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?” Richard Bach

Why should a reader buy your book?

If you need to get your heart rate up, it’ll require less effort than working out!

What is your last word?
Humor.
