Hi! I have read every one of your books except for Love on the Mend and I absolutely loved them all! I was wondering how you come up with different characters for each book and still make all of them so perfect in their own way?
Karen Witemeyer
Hi, Ariana. Thanks so much for your note! I'm thrilled that you have enjoyed my stories so well.
I'll admit that the more books I publish, the more difficult it becomes to create characters that feel fresh and unique. I try to give them quirks and personality traits that set them apart, along with a backstory that fits only them. That's what makes each of us unique in real life, so I try to carry that over into my characters.
It's a challenge for sure, but with God's help, I hope to continue bringing characters to life that will touch readers' hearts.
Thanks, Ariana! Happy reading. :-)

I just wanted to say Thank You. In the world I have seen many Christian writers who are leaning on their morals and values for the worlds praise. You have always in my mind had integrity in your writing. No matter what might be praised in the world you keep to what God would want, always following his lead. I pray that you never change and that you always keep pointing to God. That is why we are here, right?

I really loved your Texas Ever After series!!! Okay, it's true that I like fairytale retellings in general, but I really loved how you weaved Christianity and the Scriptures into it, and the twists you've made to the original tales. Is there any chance you'll add more tales to this series? I would totally look forward for it!

I don't really have a question so much as a comment, but I found no other place for comments. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your books. I love the realistic relationship with God that you give to your characters. It is a quality I find sadly lacking in many christian romance books. So thank you. (I couldn't post this until I added a question mark so here it is at the end.)?
