Frequently Asked Questions

 

What inspired you to start writing?
From a young age, I was captivated by the power of fiction. I spent hours reading many novels of different genres—young adult fiction, fantasy romance, gothic fiction, and more. Each book transported me to different worlds and introduced me to fascinating characters, offering an escape from my life. My love for reading evolved into a desire to create my own stories and craft worlds in which others could lose themselves, just as I had. Writing became a way for me to channel my imagination and share the joy books have always given me. 

​

How do you come up with storylines for your books?
My wild imagination has helped me develop my storylines. Social media, music, films, tv shows, books, stage performances and some of my life experiences also play a huge part with helping me come up with storylines.

​

What genres do you write in?
I write romance, women’s fiction, and urban fiction. 

Who is your target audience?
My target audience is women - in particular, Black women. I wrote romance novels for Black women to read, enjoy and love. I pray my work helps Black women believe in love and reminds them that they are worthy of everything good in this life. I also pray that my stories always remain a safe space where Black women feel seen, cherished, and appreciated. Although my primary target audience is Black women, I welcome women of all races to read and enjoy my work.

​

How did you create the pseudonym Miss Jenesequa? 
My favorite French phrase has always been, ‘je ne sais quoi,’ meaning ‘I do not know what.’ I’ve always described myself as having a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to my identity. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of the phrase ‘je ne sais quoi’ means something (such as an appealing quality) that cannot be adequately described or expressed. I’m sometimes hard to describe because I’m a mixture of different personalities and emotions. I’m confident, I’m proud, I’m loud, but I’m shy, and I’m sometimes quiet. I have a certain je ne sais quoi, and I believe my stories do too. 

​

What is your writing motto? 
Tales all about Black women being loved in the best way! 
All my stories feature Black women because I’m a Black woman myself, and I want to share stories that showcase Black women living their best lives, being loved, admired, protected, having great sex, and yes, going through drama but coming out on top every single time. So ‘Tales all about Black women being loved in the best way!’ is my motto if I had to choose one. Just know when you think of Miss Jenesequa’s stories, you’ll experience a beautiful tale of love through the lens of a Black woman.

​

Do you free-write or outline when writing your novels? 
I do a bit of both. When I first started, I mostly free-wrote, but now that I’ve been writing for quite some time, I tend to outline my stories (with the occasional free-writing) so that I can picture my entire storyline from the beginning to the end.

​

Do you ever run out of ideas? 
Sometimes, yes, but I always bounce back. I’m blessed to have such an imaginative mind, and as long as I keep having ideas, I’ll keep writing stories.

​

What motivates you to write? 
Me, myself, and I motivate me to write. My readers do play a part, but I have to be honest: I write for myself. If Miss Jen isn’t feeling it, then Miss Jen won’t write it.
