By Jazmine Rogers

I was recently given the opportunity to was going to work. The thing that is so Jasmine and she really is Rachel, which chat with famed author Victoria interesting about this is that usually the makes it so much fun because we can Christopher Murray. She is the woman publisher’s words are the last words kind of act it out on the road and on behind Temptations, Lady Jasmine, because they make the decisions about Facebook and just have a lot of fun with The Ex-Files and various other popular our careers, which is one of the tough it. So, you will see Jasmine again works of fiction. things about being with a publisher. But, I because I have the second book with pushed and I pushed and it took about ReShonda and we just gave a proposal Lady Jasmine is such a dynamic two years and we finally got my publisher for a third book with Jasmine and Rachel. character. Where did you find the to agree to do it and it’s so funny that they Was there a specific message you had inspiration to birth such a weren’t interested in doing it and they didn’t want me to do it but then, it turned in mind when writing Sinners and character? the label has truly, truly hurt me.” But, it is into a two book deal because they Saints? what it is and as I said no matter what my Well, you know I’m not inspired in a decided okay if we’re doing we’re gonna faith is going to show up and I put my faith way where like people are inspired to do the first book and her publisher can do You know what’s so interesting is I think into whatever I do and so I love the label write songs or anything. I always say the second book so we still laugh about when people read my books and get in terms of people knowing who I am that from the bottom of my heart I know that to this day. messages out of my books they’re when I walk in a room but, the other part that I’ve been given a gift by God. I absolutely sure that I must sit down and of it is really hard. If I could do anything to know that writing is one hundred say “Okay, this is the message I want to go back and get that label away from me I percent a gift from him. I once heard come out of it” and its so not like that. I would have. Michael Jackson say that every song come up with a story, then I develop that he was ever going to write was characters to tell the story and then I just I think what I love most about your already inside of him when he was let it go because I know that my faith, books is that they’re safe. They’re born. God had already put it in him and which is so important to me is going to entertaining books that I know I can it was his job to pull it out and I said show up in the book. I always tell people read safely without being exposed to you know that’s exactly how it is with that no matter what I would’ve done in overly explicit sex scenes, profanity me. All of these stories were already my life my faith was gonna show up. If I and just craziness that many novels inside of me and so all I had to do was was a teacher people would be saying consist of. pull it out. As far as Jasmine is “You know there goes that Christian concerned it wasn’t so much the teacher.” If I was a bus driver people You know what is interesting about that is character it was the story I wanted to would say “Hey, there goes that Christian that’s who my books turned out to be for tell in Temptations. I wanted to tell a bus driver.” My faith is always going to be but I never set out to write books for you. I story of a loving Christian couple who who I am and so I never have to worry wanted to write books for women who ran into temptation. Jasmine was only about writing a specific message I just go would never walk into the church. I just there to mess up the couple. She ahead and let the message show up. wanted to show them that you don’t have wasn’t even meant to be a major What I find fascinating about that is I to be perfect to go to a church and that character. That was my first novel and think God meets the people on the page Christians are flawed as well. I always say then people kept sending my e-mails and people are like I got this and that we all have the same trials, tribulations asking “When are you gonna bring from your book and I’m thinking “what and temptations but it is how we solve our back Jasmine?” I’m like “I thought you page is that on? I didn’t write that” but problems that make the difference. hated her” and they’re like “Yeah, we what is is that people are met wherever really do. We wanna hate her some So I guess that answers my next they are. It is said that ‘art reflects life’. Would more.” I didn’t even bring her back until question, which was going to be “Is you say that Jasmine and Rachel’s my fifth book because she wasn’t even this the last that we will see of Lady So that sort of lead into my other conniving antics are a reflection of in my head. I’m more interested in the Jasmine?” question which was ‘Why Christian today’s church or was it purely for stories than the characters. I think that Fiction?” entertainment? as a writer you have to write so that I cannot see myself writing another book your books are character driven but about Jasmine alone. I’ve written five Okay, I’ve never wanted to write Christian It’s purely entertainment. I don’t think when I first sit down my first thing is a books about her by myself and after Sins Fiction. Ever. I’m still like schizophrenic. there is any way that people can write ‘what if’ question. I start with the story of the Mother I never planned to write a Christian Fiction, I don’t like that title. It’s books or movies or songs without life then I develop characters to tell the book about her again because I felt I had just a problem for me. I believe it has hurt getting into it. You have to pull on story so Jasmine only came about taken her as far as I could take her and my sales and another thing that bothers something so our books are not indicative because she was the best person to tell what I mean by that is that she has grown me about it is that my publisher doesn’t of the church, meaning every single that story. in her Christian walk and the thing that call me Christian Fiction because they’re church in America but are there first ladies makes her such an interesting character not a Christian publisher. The bookstores like Jasmine and Rachel? Sure. Are there What initiated the collaboration is that with the things she would do she is don’t call me Christian Fiction. They don’t conventions like the one we wrote about? between you and ReShonda Tate really getting closer to God. She like have me in a Christian Fiction section, Sure. I’ve never been to one but Billingsley? prays to God and then she gets up off of which I’m glad about. The only people ReShonda used to be a reporter and has the floor and tries to help God out you that call me a Christian writer are the reported on some of those and according Now, that was actually something. know because she thinks God needs readers and then they say that my books to the e-mails that we have been getting We’re both with Simon & Schuster but some help. I had done that enough times are not “Christian” enough because I get people are saying that we’ve been hitting with different imprints and her publisher that if I had kept going the storyline would a lot of criticism from readers. Often it dead on and there are a lot of politics in Louise Burke once said “I think you and begin to become predictable so I hadn’t times they’re stating that they don’t like religion. Victoria should write a book together”. planned on writing about her. To be able the sex, it doesn’t feel like real Christian, So we were like “Oh, that’s a good to do a collaboration with ReShonda Tate Jasmine is not a real Christian and so it What do you hope for readers to walk idea”. We had never thought about it Billingsley was a gift because now I can is such a hard label to wear. There away with after reading Sinners & and you know no one had been doing bring Jasmine back and she’s motivated seems to be nothing that I can do about Saints? stuff like this. I had never thought about by this new character who is so much like it. It is a label that I have been given and really doing it and so it actually took us her yet so different, which makes it so no matter what I do I can’t get out of it. I want them to walk away with great some time to put it together because much fun. For example Jasmine is older So as a result I’ve lost a lot of readers or entertainment. Really, I am not trying to be when we first suggested it my publisher and Rachel is younger, Jasmine is from I will get e-mails from people often who a minister. I leave that part up to God so I they were like “Absolutely not. We don’t the north and Rachel is from the south, say “People told me this was a Christian hope they walk away with great want you doing a collaboration. Your Jasmine is bougie and Rachel is purely book and I wasn’t interested in being entertainment and if a seed needed to be sales are fine by yourself. It’s not country. Although ReShonda and I are not preached to so I didn’t want to read it and planted I hope that I planted it and gonna be good with someone else”. I those characters we have the same then I read it and it was so good and I’m someone comes along and waters it and guess they really didn’t know how it sensibility and we realized that I really am going to go get your other books and so God does the rest. I’m not that deep.
