Katee Robert, EL James, Ana Huang, Rina Kent, Stephanie Meyer, etc, etc, etc. All of them because of a love for their books, some because they’re out of the box and embrace it, and a few for doing it on their own. We all started with an empty slate, an idea, and a desire, and all of these ladies made it happen one way or another.

The Kindle app on my phone. My Tesla. It's not to save the world, folks; I just like to go fast. My house in Arizona. It’s my happy place with cactus and sunshine. Well, that leads me right to my fourth: sunshine. I feel like I was supposed to say my husband, which is also true, so give me a fifth, and we’ll call it good.

For Sebastian, I’d choose Robert Pattinson for sure because I’m obsessed with him. Obsessed is a scary word in a romance novel, but I’ll stick with it. Alan Ritchson would be a great Jackson. Zoey Deutch, maybe for Lily.

The characters for all three books in this series came before the plot. The first book began with a dream I had, and then I had to build the story from the scene and characters I dreamt of. The second two books are characters from the first book for whom I created a story.
