Tell us a bit about yourself.
Janie De Coster's love of reading is what inspired her to take a step into the writing world. She pens stories of real life drama.She ikes to travel, shop and spend quality time with her husband, children and grand children.
Describe your new book in a few sentences.
My new novel Men@Play is a gripping read that takes you down the road of two highly successful men Donavan Lattimore and Winston Taylor who wrestle with being the faithful husbands while living a double life.
Who do you think would most appreciate this book?
My novel is written for anyone who are in relationships that are dyfunctional. So in the broad scheme of things that will cover most of us in one point of time.
Tell us about your creative process, from initial idea to published manuscript.
I can write most any where but I prefer early mornings. I seem to have a clear head with a cup of coffee near by.
Usually I don't know where my characters will lead me. I only know their names and the beginning of their live story. I let their story carry me until the very end of the manuscript.
In addition to the two main male characters, there is the beautiful, captivating Star Collins. Tell us about her.
Star Collins is a self confident woman who fell in love with a married man. And now that she has his baby their future is uncertain.
What attracts Winston to Star?
As with any man her beauty is what drew him in. He also found a connection with her he didn't have with his wife Dawn.
Winston faces a decision in which he must choose between his marriage and Star. What factors weigh into this decision?
The ultimate factor was the child he conceived with Star. He wants to be there for them both. Although he had feelings for Star, Winston loves his wife and is commited to his marriage.
How do you feel about the increasing popularity of ebooks?
Ebooks are very popular these days. The younger generation loves them however I am still a fan of paperbacks.
What are your goals as a writer for the next ten years?
My goal as a writer in the next ten years is to bring more thought provoking novels to my readers.
Is there any aspect of writing you don't like?
Yes and its editing. It is so time consuming, however very important to having a best selling book.
What do you have in mind for your next project?
I am thinking of doing a teen novel as a request of my oldest granddaughter..
Is there anything else you'd like potential readers to know about your book?
I would like my readers to know that I as a author strive to keep them entertained from the very first page until the closing of the book. Even then I want the characters to linger in their head for years to come.
