I hope the movie starts developing faster, because I can't wait to see it!!! On the Island is one of my all time favorite books, and have read too many time to count! I absolutely love that story! What inspired you to write this story? I can't tell you enough how glad I am you did!
Tracey Garvis Graves
Thank you, Martha! I'm thrilled to hear that On the Island is one of your all-time favorite books. That is truly an honor!
I wanted to write a contemporary romance that also had a strong external plotline in addition to the love story. Because I love survival stories, I thought it would be a lot of fun to write one. Then I decided I would put two people in peril - two people who would probably not fall in love otherwise - and see what happened. I really wanted readers to fall in love with the characters, and then root for them to fall in love with each other.
Writing On the Island was an extremely joyful process. The characters felt very real to me and I miss them a lot!
Best,
Tracey
