I think you said somewhere that the least liked character by your fans was Zita from Nicky. I was so surprised because she is absolutely my favorite FMC of yours. I understood Zita's struggles 100%. How were you able to write Zita's personal struggles so well, esp with food? Did you research EDs? Your insights were spot on (my fave: a young girl is taught food=love but as she grows she is taught that food=enemy).

(view spoiler)[I'm so happy to hear some love for Zita! I wrote her from experience, not with orthorexia, but with another ED. A thought I've had---and a conversation I've had a few times with readers---is that her thoughts around food are probably familiar to the majority of women raised in diet culture. The incessant counting, the restriction, the inevitable loss of control, the shame, the self flaggelation, the "earning" food with exercise, the hiding, the fraught nature of eating in front of others...I don't know any women who wouldn't recognize the behavior. Now do they want to read it in their romance... Anyway, thanks for reading! Stay tuned for news on the Underboss Insurrection front coming soon. (hide spoiler)]

Hi Cate!! I love the Stonecut and Wall siblings books! I am just curious, I see through your site and some other questions that you are planning books for Brice, Jesse, and Rory. I am just curious if you are planning a book for Deja also? And! If you are planning these books, do you have a potential release date or ballpark of one for them? Im dying to read their stories, especially Brice and Jesse’s stories!

Hi Cate! I have read your Stonecut Country series a while back, including Dina's story, and I absolutely loved it (I'm a sucker for Kellum Wall!). But I noticed that Jesse is rather reserved compare to his alpha male brothers. Are you intending to share the last Wall brother's story with us? It would be interesting to see a guy with a softer temperament as the male lead!
