Today we have an interview with Emily Walker, discussing her New Adult Humor novel, Why Yellow Jackets Can't Find the Hole. The title fascinates me. Emily tells me she came up with the title when she saw a yellow jacket fly into a hole in the hill. I'm anticipating reading this one! Stay tuned for a chance at a contest as well. Enjoy!

The
REAL questions…
Tell
us a little about yourself.
I am a thirty year old author, grad student, office
manager in the mountains. I am a beauty blogger and a book blogger. The most
important thing is that I am a WRITER! I love to write, I love to plot, I love
to come up with crazy worlds and torture people in them.
What’s
under your bed?
Weights, Headphones, and a notebook
What
comes first, plot or characters?
Characters and plot all compiles together in an
explosion of crazy.
Pantser,
plotter, or hybrid? Tell us about your writing process.
Pantser all the way. I just go with whatever comes
to mind

What

Time management!
What’s
the easiest thing about being an author?
Being able to get all the clutter in my mind out on
paper or the computer
What
do you wish someone had asked you for an interview question?
Here’s your chance to get the soap box out!
I always ask people if they believe in the Loch Ness
Monster. It has always been something I believed in. When I was younger my
grandmother would save newspaper clippings of Nessie and follow along with her
sightings. I have always wanted to see concrete evidence of Nessie, and hold
out the hope that she exists.
Tell
us about your latest release!
My new release is about a purity group called The
Yellow Jackets who are struggling to hold onto their purity. While lots of them
have their own reasons for being in the group, the fairer sex is hard to resist.

for Why Yellow Jackets Can’t Find the Hole
The
Yellow Jackets are a group of young men in their early twenties who have taken
a vow of sexual purity. But making a vow and keeping a vow is two different
things. Each of them struggle in one way or the other to remain sexually
unscathed. Bryant, one of the Jackets, has moved off campus from the all-boys
school and finds himself neighbors to a very tantalizing beauty. Only this girl
is much more than she seems, and unbeknownst to Bryant, she makes it her
mission in life to take his virginity. Bryant and his roommates, in the
meantime, are slowly discovering that all of their fellow Yellow Jackets have
secrets. Not to mention that there’s a spy in their midst—one who is doing
everything he possibly can to expose the fact that the Yellow Jackets are not
as ‘pure’ as they all seem.
Excerpt
for Why Yellow Jackets Can’t Find the Hole
But something happened when he took Summer’s hand
and looked into her eyes. The whole world stood still and an electric shock
went through her hand to his. His mind was trying to make sense of the
connection he made to her. Every thought flipped through his mind from soul
mates to repulsion and his mind was torn between every emotion. This wasn't
normal.
He hadn't had much contact with girls.
Okay, he hadn’t had any contact with girls.
All the same he was convinced this electric touch
must have meant something special.
“Sorry,” her voice broke through, distracting him
from his momentary lapse from reality, “I must have rubbed the carpet with my
feet on my way in.”
Bryant felt really stupid that he hadn’t thought of
that first. His mind had been completely out in left field somewhere, and he
hoped his mental faculties came back sometime soon. If he didn’t get it
together quickly, this could end badly.
