Thanks for the q, Mevia! :D You'll def fall in love with some of the side characters-- they're some of my fave to write! The cast is smaller in this first book since Cadence is on her journey of discovering answers to her past, but everything/one starts to come together at the end and more in the sequel. I can't wait for you to read both books :)

Thank you for submitting the first question to me as an official author! :D My most challenging time of writing was in 2021-- we were still coming off of the 'grand panini of 2020', I was burnt out from work, and I had no energy to work on edits for A Diamond Bright and Broken. I was in a depressive rut for a long time but my writer friends and getting a new job helped turn me around and back to accomplishing my writing goals!
I've always cried when I've killed off characters. I try to picture myself in my MC's place so I can evoke true emotions in my writing so those scenes are always emotional for me.
And my motivation to write was my twin sister-- we read each other's stories as each chapter was completed. It was fun to be creative, but I think she's what kept me going because I knew there was at least one person in the world who wanted to find out what would happen next. :)
