Hi Paullett! Thank you and thank you for asking about the series. I would have to say my inspiration for Coming Home was the Hallmark Channel movies. I love sappy, sweet, HEA stories as they are a great distraction from all the negatives in the real world. It started as a different story, but you know how characters have a mind of their own, lol. Once I wrote the first, the other characters stories just demanded to be told...so here I am, trying to tell them the best way I can.

Hi Everyone!
I'm JD Park, author of the Home Series that starts with Coming Home. I hope if you had a chance to read it, you fell in love with the characters as much as I did. I wanted to start this Meet the Author with getting to know the main characters, Rayanne and Colby. I gave Rayanne a question sheet to see how well she really knows Colby...Let's see how she did :)

JD: Okay, Rayanne, give it a shot. I'll ask him the same questions when we're done to see how you did. Good luck!

Rayanne: I'm so nervous, but okay, give me what you got!

What is Colby doing right now?
Playing words with friends with Chaz.

Zero. He would never.

Name something he hates.
When I cry.

What does he like to drink?
Water most of the time. Fancy micro-brews when we drink.

Pencils, lol. He is an architect/contractor so he can never have too many.

Rayanne: Well, we have been friends since, like, birth! I'd be so sad If I got them wrong. And Colby, you collect pencils! You have like a million!

Colby: I didn't know that counted! I'd say I hoard more than collect, but you are right, I do have a bunch.

I hope you all liked learning a little bit more about the main characters in Coming Home. I look forward to interacting with you throughout the month!

LOL!! I LOVE this!!! 😍🥰 Soo cute, JD!

Thanks Shanna! I learned from the best! ;0)

Good to see you girls here! Congratulations on your promotional month JD.

Thanks, Grasshopper! The last couple of months have been crazy and I've been a little MIA on here, but I'm back now :)

Ah!!! I love this character interview!!! This is awesome!

Thanks for answering the inspiration question! I know just what you mean. Characters have a mind all their own and hijack all our best plans. ;)

Hi! So I thought I would give you a little info about me. I've been with my husband for almost 17 years and married for nearly 8. He is an organic farmer, and we live on 28 acres, 14 of which are a large oak grove filled with wild turkeys, deer, and so many birds! Since we're talking about facts, let's see who's read Coming Home!

When Rayanne decides to move back home, what state was she living in?

A. Califonia
B. Illinois
C. Georgia
D. Texas

I can't wait to see who gets this right!

California?

Texas?

Good to learn more about you JD

Love it, JD
The farm life...aahhh :-D

B. Illinois ;-)

That looks like a lovely place to live in J.D.
An oak grove with deer and birds... stuff dreams & fairytales are made of.😊

I shall take Shanna's word for it. Illinois?

THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING!

Catherine and Shanna are correct! She went to school in CA then moved for work to Chicago before returning home to CT!

And yes, the oak grove is the stuff dreams are made of!! Add in 10 chickens, three labs, two cats and two kids...chaos ensues!

Thank you for sharing your work with us this month JD. We enjoyed having you here.
