I had just broken up with my high school boyfriend—not because something went wrong, but because we both got into college in different states. A lot of my college friends were in the same boat. It got me curious about what happens to those people who we meet and fall in love with too soon. In more recent years, I have talked to lots of women who are in the opposite situation—in their thirties, ready to settle down, but haven’t met anyone they truly love yet, so I wanted to explore that perspective as well and ended up with two interconnected stories.

After Waiting at Hayden’s was first published I remember hearing from one reader who said the story made her re-think a relationship she was currently in. That’s a pretty powerful impact. For other readers the takeaway is enjoyment, validation, an aha experience or laughter. I love hearing from my readers and discussing the themes explored in my novel with them.
