Holli True Hi Jessica! :) I am in the process of trying to get Reckless listed on iBooks. We are still in the verification process with them, but it's in the works! I am hoping to have it listed with them in the next week or two! I will let you know as soon as it's available! Currently, it's available in Kindle, Nook and Kobo. Thank you so much!
Holli True As a last minute character who didn't exist in the first draft at all, Charlie really shocked the hell out of me! He came out of nowhere and stole the handful of scenes I gave him. He's witty and sarcastic and just a lot of fun. Jonah labeled him the "Library Hipster" because of his style. I pretty much want Charlie to be my best friend. :)

Readers are already asking for more of him, which I love, and they will be happy to know that I have big plans for Charlie in the three future books for the Reckless Series! Thank you for the question!!
Holli True I know when I was aspiring to complete my first novel, I kept receiving the same advice- "Finish your book." "Just write your novel." "Complete it!"

They talked it out with me, helped me grow my story and continued to support me throughout the entire process. When I had an idea that I was unsure about, a plot twist that overwhelmed me, or just needed someone to cheer me on, I turned to them.

So, my advice to aspiring writers- surround yourself by positive people who will continually push, inspire and motivate you to see it through. Writing a novel is hard and an absolute labor of love, so the best thing you can do is surround yourself with positivity and encouragement!
Holli True Music. It's my poetry. Whenever I listen to music, it moves me and gets my creative juices flowing- there's nothing else quite like it. :)
Holli True Right now I am mapping out Breathless, the sequel to Reckless. I will start writing it in Fall 2014. I am also working on a fun, Chick Lit novel, which I am hoping to release before Breathless.
Holli True While I was driving, listening to music. My mind has a tendency to explore random thoughts when I drive- I think it has something to do with being inspired by the lyrics pumping out of my speakers. :) I had a very small idea of a forbidden romance- what I didn't realize was how complex and intricate Hailey & Jonah's story would be...
