The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind by Jackson Ford

Mostly because I made the part of Teagan. It’s better for everyone involved if I sit on the sidelines, making people coffee and cheering at inappropriate moments. Good thing, too, as I know absolutely nothing about making a TV series. The reality is that as the author, my involvement in the production is very minimal. This is excellent news-will you be involved in the production, and do you have any particular wishlist items? (Casting, etc.)Īre you kidding? I basically had the entire series cast, soundtracked, and filmed in my mind from the moment CBS expressed any interest. The series has recently been optioned for television. And in the case of rap music, anything that makes me want to punch a motherf*cker. Noisy rap music, high-end audio gear, cooking, basketball, snowboarding… anything that gets my blood pressure up. I don’t mean this in a fatuous way – I genuinely use these things to draw creative energy from. I draw my inspiration from things that make me happy. I wanted something that was bright and energetic and fun, and where the hero would much rather be kicking back with a beer than dealing with whatever bullsh*t is being thrown her way. I was tired of reading books where the hero was dark and brooding, and where everybody hated each other.

What inspired you to write the novel and series? And where do you draw your inspiration from in general? I’d introduce it to the reader by saying: it’s the best book you’ll ever read, and if you disagree, then f*ck you. The books document the adventures of Teagan Frost, a government agent with psychokinetic abilities who dreams of living a normal life and running her own restaurant. You definitely don’t have to start with the first one! Jump in wherever. While it is part of a series, each book can also be read as a stand-alone. It looks rather fabulous: How would you introduce it to a potential reader? Is it part of a series? Your new novel, Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air, will be published by Orbit in July. Fortunately, he also happens to be the alter ego of Rob Boffard, who has been to LA and is a much better writer. Let’s start with an introduction: Who is Jackson Ford?Ī gigantic flaming sh*thead who thought it would be fun to write paranormal action thriller novels set in Los Angeles, despite never having been there, and is frankly amazed that anything ever came of it.
