Where do you find inspiration and ideas for all of your books?
Would you ever write like small sequels to hooked? Also I love you work and read everything you write!!
With the craziness of life and being an amazing author, do you need anything girly? Hype squad, dance a thon, a drink, unhinged story time??? 😂

Honestly, they just drop in my head and yell at me until I write it down.

That's like asking me to pick a favorite child! LOL Impossible (to ever admit publicly *side eyes*)

I think imposter syndrome is a very real issue that never goes away. So I'll never think my drafts are "good enough", I'm my own worst critic. But my characters play the scenes for the books in my head like a movie, and when it's the way it's supposed to be, it feels like a physical click inside of me, and that's how I know it's the way it's supposed to be.
Usually, it goes through 3 or 4 iterations before I send it to my editors, and then it goes through 4 rounds of editing, beta reading, sensitivity reads, etc. so changes with each one of those rounds also.

Romeo and Juliet!
The series as a whole is an interconnected standalone series and will be four books: each book's couple will be a twist on a different tragic love story (but we give them their happily ever afters here.)

I am doing a book tour for Burning Daylight, but it's on the West Coast this time.
I'll be in Phoenix, San Diego, Huntington Beach, Sacramento, and Portland.
I hope to make it to NC sometime in the future thought! :)
