Writer of words. Mother of Joy. Wife of Compassion. I like to write stories about real people who go through real struggles, and come out the other side stronger. I also like to write smut. Welcome to my brain. It’s a little screwed up, but always well intended.

Hi, I loved lithium waves and lithium tides and will undoubtedly love lithium oasis, all the characters are spectacular and bring something different to the books, my favourite character, and book boyfriend, is CT. I was wondering, without giving any spoilers away from the third book, who is your favourite character? Who was the most fun to write? And who was the hardest character to write.

Picking a favorite character is like picking a favorite child, but I'll try to answer these as diplomatically as possible.

Jamie is the person I relate to the most. Her personality is an exaggerated version of my own. The way she thinks, the choices she makes are deeply rooted in the way I process information and respond.

Most fun to write is Annette (Jamie's Mom) because she was just over the top and fun.

Favorite main, had to be CT just because he was so easy to write. Like I have a vivid image of who he was and what drove him to do the things he did.

Javi and Quinn were the hardest HANDS DOWN. Their story almost broke me. Writing it was hard, mostly because I had an idea in mind for that story and they decided to go rogue halfway through my first draft. I love LOVE their journey. It's the perfect end to the series, but MY GOD they put me through it.(less)

“I spend my life worrying. I worry about everything, about money, about my daddy, about my future, but draped across Sebastian's lap, I am at ease. There's no storm. There's no boat. There is no up or down, just the slapping sound of his hand against my flesh.”
