Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Tina Jordan, and I love to write short stories, prose and poetry that, generally speaking, leans towards the paranormal or usually incorporates a struggle between love, life and death. I have published five books and have been featured in a few literary journals.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest release is Rumors of an Anomalous Heart, which captures two of my favorite tales, The Thomas Raeburn Chronicle, a story which dares love to rupture the the thin veil between life and death, and Jocelyn’s legacy, a vampire tale passed from mother to son. I have always believed that there is love, long after this earthly life has ended, and I use that belief as inspiration for my writing.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write a lot of poetry. That being said, the majority of my poetry reads like a story, so one might call it narrative. I do like to throw in bits of humor from time to time, but readers will find that most of my stories involve a hint of darkness, either in the form of grief and desperation or the paranormal.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I would have to say that my biggest influences have come from the classic writings of Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen.
What are you working on now?
I’ve started a story that involves supernatural elements during the Prohibition Era. I think it will be a fun read once it’s done.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write for the joy of writing. There are thousands of authors hoping to make an impact, and you never know…you might just be one who does!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stay true to your heart. Plain and simple.
What are you reading now?
I’m actually revisiting a classic, The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’ll keep writing when I’m not at my day job, and hoping that my work will stir someone’s soul.
What is your favorite book of all time?
That’s a tough question, but I’ll say my favorite is Jane Eyre.
