B.B. Easton answers your questions

I have also fallen in love with Knight, like so many others. Do the "four guys" know that you wrote a book about them? How about the side characters? Has anyone contacted you after and known you were talking about them...Lance perhaps!?!? Ooh, I really wish you had pictures to go with your books!! 😉 Btw, Your playlists are amazing too!

B.B. Easton Hi Heather! Thanks so much for reading! To answer your question, no, no one who has a character based on them has ever contacted me to say that they know about the books. I worked very hard to protect everyone's identity, and even consulted with a lawyer before publishing to make sure I had changed enough details about each person. I wanted to make extra sure that the only person embarassed or impacted by my work was my own dumb ass. LOL. And I'm so happy you're loving the playlists! I do toooo!

Any ideas for what you'll be working on next?

B.B. Easton Hi Katie! I have a few loose ideas, but nothing concrete. After promo for SUIT is over and I get back from Love N Vegas, I plan on sitting down and letting the universe tell me what it wants me to write. :)

I actually started reading SKIN first and then went back to 44 Chapters About 4 Men. I read right threw the rest in days. My Pre-Order for SUIT is ready to be read at Midnight!! I have loved all your men so far and can't wait to read about Pajama Guy. BUT...Why do I always want to cry every time Knight comes up in the story??

B.B. Easton You and me both, girl. He is one of those characters that just pulls on your heart strings, even though he's such a mean mother@#$%er. I'm so, so happy you're enjoying the books. Thank you for reading!

I'm almost finished with Skin. I love your writing style! Would you ever consider writing a book from Knights perspective? I'd love to know more about Knight's thought process and how he truly feels when certain events take place. Thanks.

B.B. Easton Thanks so much for reading! I've honestly never considered writing anything from another character's perspective. Most of my favorite books are written completely from the female's POV, like the Fifty Shades trilogy and Hunger Games. I get completely sucked in to the heroine's inner world that way, and I actually like the mystery of having to figure out what everyone else is thinking based on their actions and behavior. But that's just my personal preference. : ) Plus, who the hell knows what Knight was thinking? LOL! I'd be scared to stay inside his head for too long!

Thanks again for reading! So happy you're enjoying my sweet psycho!

XO,
BB

This is not really a question but rather a statement for you. I read both Skin and Speed in a matter of days! Couldn't put them down. I love your writing and I am in love with the characters! Can't wait to read more from you, I have to read 44 Chapters now while I wait for Star! Because I have to ask you a question, when will Star be out? Thanks!

B.B. Easton Hey Margaret!

I'm so happy you loved my books! Thank you for the message. :) STAR will be out sometime in the spring. Maybe April? I'm absolutely in love with Hans right now. He's so sweet and sensitive and different from Knight and Harley. Swoon! Hope you love him too! Enjoy 44 Chapters!

XoXoX,
BB

I just finished SKIN and im still in tears but freaking awesome book - since this is based on your life I just need to know if you ever heard from Knight after he left for the Marines or even know if he found his happy as well? You seriously made me fall hard for him in this book.

B.B. Easton So happy you loved my sweet psycho! SPEED, my next release, is actually a love triangle between Knight and Harley, so you will get answers to all of your questions soon! :)

I loved 44 Chapters about 4 Men so much I sent the audible to my husband. Still no luck :-) I'm listening to Skin now and keep wondering how much is true, how much fictionalized... percentage?

B.B. Easton Ha! It's funny how many women try to share 44 Chapters with their partners. I'm over here trying to keep mine from reading it EVER.

It's hard to say how much of SKIN is true, because almost every scene has elements of truth and fiction in it. I tried to start with an event that actually happened. Then, as I wrote, I just let the characters speak to me. Most of the dialogue I made up, but some of I remembered word for word. Most of the scenarios actually happened, but a handful I completely made up for the sake of the story (like the junk yard scene). If I had to estimate, I would say SKIN is about 65%-75% true, but the fictionalized parts are very true to the characters, if that makes sense.

Thanks so much for listening!

Can you gives us rough time line of when the rest of the books will be released?

B.B. Easton Sure! My timeline looks like this:
SPEED (Harley's book) - Sept 2017
STAR (Hans' book) - April 2018
SUIT (Ken's book) - October 2018
Now who knows what will actually happen, but this is my plan for now. :) Thanks for asking!!

Man, that book was damn good!! I couldn't put it down! Then I realized that in the first book, we still don't know very much about Ken. How they fell in love and how he proposed etc. Which is perhaps what leads me to ask, will there be more of a story about him? I just feel like after reading SKIN, Ken from the first book seems like a character i don't know at all.

B.B. Easton Hey Tracy! So happy you enjoyed SKIN! To answer your question, Ken will be getting his own book, so hopefully all of your questions about him will be answered. :) Each of the 4 men from 44 Chapters About 4 Men will be getting their own book, and they will be written in chronological order based on when I met them. So Knight was first (SKIN), then Harley's book (SPEED), then Hans (STAR), and Ken's story will be last (SUIT). Hope you love them!

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

B.B. Easton The first couple that comes to mind is Katniss and Peta from the Hunger Games. I rooted for Peta throughout that entire series. He deserved to get the girl, damnit! He loved her more than that asshole Gale ever did!

Hi BB! I absolutely loved both your books. 44 Chapters will go down as one of my favorite reads ever. It was just everything to me. Anyway, my question is about Skin: Will the truth ever come out about Knight and Lance being together? Also, what was Knight's motivation for doing this, if it was true? AND....when can we expect your next book to come out. LOL. No pressure.

B.B. Easton Hi Susie!

I sent my answers as a private message because they are VERY spoilerish. Go check your inbox. Thanks for reading!

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

B.B. Easton Have low expectations. Better yet, have NO expectations. Wring your soul out onto that page fully prepared to be the only one who ever sees it. Edit it and proof it until you feel like it's as close to perfect as it will ever get. Find or make a cover that speaks to you. Then hit PUBLISH and whisper to the universe, "No one will ever read this." If you can accept that possibility and hit PUBLISH anyway, whatever happens next will feel like a series of tiny victories.
