Jae Henderson, author of Someday
(RiverHouse Publishing, LLC)
Tina “Tee” Long lives a life that reality TV shows are made of. As one of Memphis’ most sought after event planners, she spends her days planning lavish events and mingling with the social elite, while withstanding her sister’s drama-filled marriage, counseling wayward youth and sharing the ups and downs of existing with her hilarious girlfriends. But there’s one thing missing from her fairy tale life – her prince charming.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Someday?
Jae Henderson: With Someday, I wanted to offer encouragement to Christian singles. My main characters are celibate, but they aren’t perfect by any means. I tried to paint an accurate picture of the challenges that come with being celibate. It isn’t easy. It takes a lot of faith and will power but it also has some wonderful benefits. It becomes more interesting when you are dating. In a romance novel you definitely have to explore that.
JP: What sets Someday apart from other books in the same genre?
JH: I don’t just tell an entertaining Inspirational/Christian romance story. I give applicable tools to help people with their Christian walk. There are Bible verses, prayers, and great principles readers can use to encourage themselves and others to live a life that is pleasing to God. Yet, I do this without preaching. I call my style of writing moral messaging. The morals are weaved within an entertaining story, kind of like the fables so many of us were told as children.
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to Someday getting out to the public?
JH: Here are the keys to my success:
- Have faith
- Dream big
- Develop a plan
- Work hard
- Be persistent
JH: I began writing Someday in college, which was over 10 years ago. One day, I found the files on my computer and started adding to the story. At first, I had very little discipline, and I wasn’t serious about becoming a writer. I only wrote when I felt like it, which wasn’t very often.
JP: What’s next for Jae Henderson ?
JH: Someday is part of a trilogy. The sequel, Someday, Too, was released in February of this year and I hope to have the finale, Forever and A Day, out by the end of this year.
