Hop On The Bus

By Trish Jensen


Although I’ve never written a Valentine  book, per se, it feels like every book I’ve ever written is a Valentine. They are homages to love, laughter, happiness in relationships that should never have had a chance. In other words, I love to make people laugh at love, because, seriously, it’s the most hilarious emotion humans endure.

Think about it! What makes men and women more stupid than love? Or the fear of love. Or the search for love. Or, most frightening of all, finding themselves in love? Inevitably, they do dumb things. They try so hard to do things right, and manage to screw it all up. It will always be the one emotion that scrambles brains.

Which is why I love writing about all the facets of the romance journey. What is more fun than to read about two people who just cannot figure out how to get it right? Or how to run away? Or grab the first taxi and zoom right back, just so you can get in that person’s face and say, “Tell me what you’re feeling for me or I’m heading straight to Twitter and the entire world is going to know that you’re a Mickey Mouse boxers guy.”

I love reading mystery/suspense, history, biographies, young adult, Dr. Seuss, just about anything. But when it comes down to dragging myself out of bed (okay, in the interest of honesty, when my dog drags me out of bed) in the morning, I’m looking forward to getting back to my couple, who are trying so hard not to be in love, but just can’t seem to stop that bus.

So Valentine lovers everywhere, just face it, jump on the bus and hang on for the ride.
