Natasha asked Madhuri Pavamani:

What has been the hardest book for to write to date?

Madhuri Pavamani Hi Natasha,

Oh, this is an easy one - Book III in The Sanctum Trilogy, The Prophecy.

And it was the most difficult for me to write for three reasons:

1) it's the end of my world of Wyatt and Dev and I love them fiercely, they literally changed my life, so saying goodbye to them is horribly difficult

2) it's brutal killing characters I love deeply and I had to do that a few times in Book III. There is one death especially that I knew had to happen, there was no way to move the story forward with that character living, at least not move it forward the way I wanted to, but I desperately did not want to commit that death to paper. And so I hemmed and hawed and procrastinated and no lie, a chapter that should have taken me a couple of days to write took me almost three weeks!

3) I wanted this book to be perfect - the violence and the murders and the sex and the love - just everything needed to be perfect because I wanted to make sure I gave Dev and Wyatt the ending they deserved.

And I know perfection is impossible to attain, but I strove for it these past seven months, and even though I might have come up slightly short, I feel confident that I gave them their brilliant ending.
