Book tours in general are very hard for us - two people trying to find time between both of our real lives and schedules, it's not always the easiest. Add that neither one of us is really big into convention or book signings and it's doubly as hard.

Right now we've only committed to two signings, and they're both in 2018. Apollycon Washington D.C., and RARE in Italy. We likely wouldn't do any other ones until at least 2019, but right now we have no plans, sorry!

Not really. We're both really great communicators, as well as friends, so the entire book was a joint effort. While there may have been some areas where we had to compromise, we did it in such a way that both of us, in the end, were happy with the results :)

Erin Watt was the combination of our 2 favorite football players (Aaron Rodgers & J.J. Watt), and no.. it was actually really interesting to see people come up with their own theories! We were so amazed at all the great ideas everyone came up with!

Because I die of shipping-couple-pain !!!"

It's a little different for us, because we have the books plotted out before we write them, so we've already had time to come to terms with the events of the book and how they happen. Naturally when our characters hurt, we hurt (a little), but it's no where near as emotional for us.

We had an idea of how each book was going to end to some degree. When we plotted the books we knew what events were going to happen, and roughly how many books there was going to be, so we knew we needed to space the major events out. How we reached that point though.. that had a lot of wiggle room.

I've been re reading over and over again the Royals series and I just can't seem to put it down.

Thank you so much for reading Serena!

We had the first 3 books (mostly) plotted out before starting - there was only originally going to be the 3.. but then as we wrote more and more we realized we wanted to do a book (or more) for Easton.. so it was both planned and not ;)

Court wrote: "How do the two of you go through the writing process for these books?"

We plot and come up with the major events, and most of the major characters prior to writing. Once we start writing then we set word goals and email the manuscript back and forth. We both tweak & edit each others work, and then again at the end, so when all is said and done, neither of us really knows who wrote what anymore!

Unfortunately not at this time. Right now we have no plans to continue the Royals series after Cracked Kingdom.

As a bestie? Val! Or Ella! Actually... can we have both? With those two you'd know no matter what went down your back was covered!

No, sorry. Ella and Reed's story is done for the time being.
