Aurelia B. Rowl:
What made you want to write about such an unpopular girl in A Girl Called Malice?

Hi Michelle, and thank you for the fantastic question.
As the first draft of Popping the Cherry progressed, I found myself more and more intrigued with Alice. Why was she so mean? What, or who, had made her that way? If she stayed on her current path, what would she become? Did she have any redeeming qualities? Could she be saved?
The title was actually the first thing that came to me…A Girl Called Malice…it had a certain ring to it and opened my mind to a plethora of possibilities. Alas, the story didn’t flow – not at all, since I struggled to connect with Alice – but the idea wouldn’t let me move on; Alice’s story had to be written, even if it broke me, which it very nearly did.
I hope that answers your question.
