Hi there! Raven St. Pierre and I made an announcement last year on our pages we wouldn’t be continuing with this series :( I’m so sorry! If that changes we’ll make any announcements on our newsletters/Facebook pages. Thanks for your interest in the series! ♥️

Thank you so much Elise! I have definitely considered a book for Tess. You never know what surprises I have in store! I'd follow my Facebook page or emails if you're signed up for my newsletter. I post all new updates there. Thanks so much for the Sugar Love love! Jae was one of my faves to write :D

I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this! I'm not an enthusiast though I wish I was! It's such a cool sport :D

It's actually in production now! Should be available next month :)

Oh, good question! I'd love both if I could! lol. For a series though, I'd love a CW or Freeform show. I'm addicted to those stations :P I think just have so much drama and I love it <3

Hey! Raven and I are actually still working on it! We are getting close though and should have more information on our pages soon. I love that you enjoyed the book! We're very excited for the sequel <3

Hey Mary! I actually had to put this work aside for a while as I'm prepping for other books in new series. I'll make sure to update you guys on my blog/ Facebook page as I get more information. Thanks for checking in!

Such a difficult question! I think I'd love to write something with Rainbow Rowell. I recently picked up her books and I love them. She just really knows how to write emotion very well. It simply jumps off the page! Thanks for the question Megan :D

Hey, Jessica! The books are currently only available in paperback on Amazon. They have been taking down for rebranding. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Okay, are you in my mind right now? LOL. Yes, to everything. All my books are set in the Midwest. That's where I'm from! They say write what you know right? ;) And every time one of my couples travels somewhere I have either been there are wish to go :) Needless to say, nothing is ever chosen at random, haha.

I love this question! It's so hard to chose, but I have to say that Drake and Lacey are my babies, haha. They were my first couple on my journey into contemporary romance so they really hold a special place in my heart. Especially Drake. I cried straight tears for this boy too many times! He had such a rocky road ahead of him, and by the end, he just grew up so much and I loved that. I don't know if I have a couple I feel the least closet to. I put a piece of my myself into all the couples I write. I just love them all!

I do! Each of my books has its own soundtrack. I like to listen while I write sometimes. Other times I use songs to just inspire. "Unpretty" by TLC was my main song to represent Roxie in Found by You. I think we've all been in that place and it was just perfect for her. For Lacey and Drake, the song The Space Between by Dave Mathews Band (yep, that's the inspiration for the title as well ;D) was the perfect song from them. I think about them every time I hear that song. I feel like there's a song for every character in my books. Like their anthem and it's really fun finding that perfect song that defines them. I create lots of playlists for my books on Spotify. Feel free to follow me. I love making new friends! <3

Thanks! I LOVED working with Raven. I really am a fan of her work and she's just such a great person. We got to talking and a joint project just kind of made sense. Our styles are very similar so putting the two together just really worked for us. What I loved the most was having someone to bounce ideas off of. We didn't get stuck because there were two minds to work through every problem and that was great. Can't wait to release ONLY LOVE! It was so much fun to write :)

Great question! What's crazy about The Space Between was how well it flowed for me. I wrote the first draft in a little over a week. My original plans pretty much stayed consistant throughout but when I was drafting I did originally have Drake meet Lacey at a costume party. He sees her acting on stage in constume and fell for her sight unseen as she wore a mask. I'm not sure why I didn't keep that but it worked out okay I think! As far as things I wished I could have explored I wanted to touch on Drake's adoption more. I wanted to do that so much that The Dividing Line and its novella were born! The Space Between was originally a standalone :)
