Hello Ms. Rayven! I am a first-time reader of your's, a few chapters into your book Mr. Romance, and I am trying to form a picture of the characters in my head. Often stories have a white bias, but you mention several characteristics of Eden and her sister that makes me think they may be black. Could you clear this up for me? Thank you, hope your writing is going well and you're healthy in this time!
Leisa Rayven
Hey, Hannah! Thanks for your question. Although I do have several POC characters in supporting roles in my books, in Mister Romance, Eden and her sister are white. In fact, they're redheads, so that makes them the whitest people ever. (As an extremely pale, can-never-even-get-a-tan person myself, I tend to write what I know.)
I hope that doesn't diminish your enjoyment of the book. Thank you so much for reaching out, and thank you for reading. Sending you best wishes from Australia! xxx

Two quick things... First, I'm still hoping to read Doctor Love so I was curious about that? I've read all your books and gave them all 5*. Second, I was wondering how you were, if you were okay. I haven't seen you post anything for awhile so I'm sorta checking in. I hope things are good AND Happy New Year!! 💜💜💜

Hello Leisa and thank you for the wonderful experience that was reading your books. My question refers to Ethan (of course): was is difficult to write this character? From my point of view, he is one of the most complex male characters that I have encountered in a book, and I imagine and bringing him to life was hard work:) Again, love your books:) Ramona- Bucharest, Romania

Hi! You're my all time favorite author and I hope to one day be able to write like you. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to write romantic comedy that is actually funny. Your books have this strong humorous voice and witty dialogue and so I guess I'm asking if you have a process to writing or revising your writing to be as funny as it turns out to be?
