Hello!! I have more than one question (I don't know if it's fair though lol) What inspired you to write Finding Home?And how did you and Lauren wrote it? You wrote a chapter and her another or you guys wrote everything together? Is it better to write alone or in a duet? Which one of your books is your favorite? Which one are you most proud of? Do you have any more books to recommend, similar to Finding home? Thanks

Bonnie Dee Lauren and I were friends who both wrote fanfic for The OC back in the day. We both loved the story of Ryan, the outsider in a rich world. When I decided to try to write with an intent to publish, I was nervous to try my hand at it all alone. I contacted Lauren and together we wrote Finding Home (with Ryan firmly in mind). She focused on the work related parts and I on the family and the street kids. It was a very patchwork way of writing that required many edits to stitch it all together. Since then I've co-authored with several other people, in particular Summer Devon. We pass the story back and forth chapter by chapter in a linear fashion that is much easier to follow. If a writer has very firm opinions about what they want to do in a story, it's better to write solo. If you're willing to yield and be fluid about the plot, then having a partner is good. AS you can see from my back list, I do some of each.
Some of my personal favorites of my books are early ones like Bone Deep and A Hearing Heart, both featuring damaged heroes, and more recently Scarred Hearts, which is set in post WWI Appalachia. I prefer historicals as a reader. As far as m/m titles, The Gentleman and the Rogue is still one of Summer and my most popular books. I like The Professor and the Smuggler as well because I find the professor character endearing and the Cornish setting interesting.
Hope that answers most of your questions. Thanks for asking.
