Series: Honeybrook High (prequel novella)
Author: Jordan Saez
Publisher: Independently Published

No one gets me at all, except for Hester. And she’s not even real. She’s a woman from the 1800s, but she totally understands what it’s like to hide love. So, she’d understand why hiding text messages is super important. But, since my dad became a Christian and all, I have to be super careful. But my parents are hiding things too, like why my mom is riding the struggle bus while she’s expecting my baby brother or why dad is talking to the other woman at the office.

Excerpt

I was working diligently on my history homework that afternoon, when a new young guy walked past my window. I nearly dropped my book. Woah. The office got a huge update. A tall, dark haired college guy walked into Mom’s office wearing a blazer, slacks, and the biggest smile I’d ever seen. If I could see that from my school room, I knew he had to be amazing up close. I stood from my chair to get a better look, but tried to think of a reason to be in Mom’s office. Not that I was officially crushing or anything, I just needed to, well, at least see him up close.

Author Interview

Q: What inspired you to write Duets?

Jordan: I always believe that Jesus inspires my writing and in writing Duets, I was blessed with the opportunity to really get to know my characters before the actual novel.

Q: How long did it take to write this book?

Jordan: It took me about one month to write Duets.


Q: What surprised you while researching/writing this novel?

Jordan: I learned a lot about my characters in Duets. I learned about how deeply Rob cares for Leslie and how Candy really loves her family and music. I had to do a lot of research around Leslie and her pregnancy since her pregnancy is challenging.


Q: Do you have a favorite quote from Duets?

Jordan: “A tiny, excited wave flew across my heart. Someday I would. I knew it. And the two of us would make our own duet someday, because that was love, right? Two people that love each other for real, no matter what, no secrets.”

Q: When did you first know you wanted to be an author?

Jordan: I’ve wanted to be an author ever since I was about eight!

Q: Would you share something about yourself that most readers wouldn’t know?

Jordan: I’m a musician like Candy! I play the piano and violin.

Q: What are you currently reading?

Jordan: I’m really enjoying my current read Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado.

Q:What is your favorite genre to read?

Jordan: Even though I like Christian self-help, my favorite is always Christian fiction.

Q: What is your favorite hobby?

Jordan: Hobby? What are those? I like to collect signed editions of books from other Christian authors, like Robin Jones Gunn, Karen Kingsbury, and the like.

Q: What is your favorite season and why?

Jordan: I like the fall, mostly because it’s my birthday season, but also because it’s not too freezing and not too hot.
