I absolutely love your books and recommend all to my coworkers and friends. However, I cannot stop hoping for a book from Mateo’s point of view. Will The Shattered series is supposed to be about the siblings lives, but I feel like it was more about Evie. I’d be interested to know what Mateo was thinking about his relationship, getting married and having babies. Will we be lucky enough to get this amazing insight?

Hi, Am!
I have to tell you, Mateo has received more fan mail than any other character I've created. While you make a good point regarding the books being about Evie, Mateo's sisters, and not Mateo, at the time my agent was shopping what became Once Perfect, we only had the one novel. I didn't have the others planned. My editor at Random House jumped on the novel and the series potential. The sisters were then developed to lead their own stories. As a result, Mateo became the link, or rather, the connection to the remainder of the series. If I were to write from Mateo's perspective, I think we would just have a carbon copy that would take away from the original story. Evie needed a hero and he became just that for her. Thank you though, for wanting a novel for our guy.
I appreciate your kind words and for referring my work to your coworkers and friends. It's fans like you who have helped my career be so successful!
Thank you, again,
Cecy
