Thank you so much! I don't tend to write multiple books about one couple, so that's it for Olu and Griff - although they could pop up as side characters in the future.
Talia Hibbert
I do plot, but my method of plotting varies and I'm always learning new ways. I would advise you to start by researching multiple different plotting methods to find what works for you (if you haven't already). Remember, you can mix and match methods or make them super vague if you prefer a looser approach.
Once you're happy with that, apply what you've learned to a shorter story, maybe novelette or novella in length, to practice completing a narrative. That's a good way to start and build confidence!

I do have fibromyalgia! Thank you; I'm so glad you enjoyed that.
Talia Hibbert
Thank you so much! I usually read ebooks due to mobility constraints, but I love reading physical books when I can. I get my recommendations from twitter or from my friends (I'm lucky that so many of my friends are authors too!) and my favourite tropes are friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, and marriage of convenience.
Talia Hibbert
Of course! Keep an eye out for my Skybriar series - one of the three books will be sapphic.
Talia Hibbert
We will! I am currently writing the Skybriar series, a trio of romcoms following the Montrose siblings and inspired by Austen novels.
Talia Hibbert
I'm so glad you're enjoying the book. I will definitely write other M/M titles, and F/F, and whatever else my characters might need!
Talia Hibbert
Thank you very much! I will definitely keep writing <3
Talia Hibbert
Thank you so much! That is lovely to hear.
Talia Hibbert
Thank you so much! And yes, haha, I do live in England!

Hi! I self-publish most of my books, but others (namely my Brown Sisters series) are published via traditional publishers. So technically, I'm a hybrid author!
Talia Hibbert
OMG, thank you so much! This is so kind on so many levels. Aaaahhhhh thank you. <33333
Talia Hibbert
Yaaay! I'm very happy to hear that. And yes, 100%!
Talia Hibbert
Sure! I'm currently working on
1. Olu's book (Keynes from the Just for Him series) and
2. a book that will be part of a collaborative series with two other authors! It'll be my first U.S.-set romance. The heroine is still British, but the hero will be American!

Hey Diana! Unfortunately, Daniel is not worthy of a book. He's an abuser, so no-one can have a safe and healthy relationship with him. For example, he was in love with Ruth and with Laura, but his 'love' was harmful because he is a harmful person. I do think it's possible for abusive people to truly change and better themselves... but I won't take that path with his character, because I think other kinds of men are far more worthy of being heroes. I would rather represent and celebrate good men (flaws and all) who treat people properly than make a hero out of an abuser. Does that make sense? I hope so <3
Talia Hibbert
None of my current WIPs are from this perspective, but it's who I am so I don't doubt it'll happen again. I would love to write a ton of these books, just to emphasise the fact that shared aspects of identity don't = being the same person! It would be fun to reflect other symptoms of ASD, and to explore different characters' interactions with the ableism in society. So, in a nutshell, yeah! Thanks for asking.
Talia Hibbert
Ahh, I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you!
Well, my schedule has a way of switching up when I least expect it... but the plan is to release the sequel to A Girl Like Her next!
If that doesn't happen, it'll be a Just For Him novella next. And THEN AGLH's sequel. So you won't have long to wait :)

Thank you so much!
Now, let me crack out the list...
I'm currently writing the sequel to A Girl Like Her, Hannah's book. It'll be book 2 of the Ravenswood series.
I'm also working on book 3 or 5 (don't ask) of the Just For Him series. That'll be Aria's book, and it's called Sweet on the Greek. I don't know when that'll be out, though... I'm writing two novellas in the series as well, and I haven't decided what order they'll be released in yet!
Finally, I'm drafting a super top secret project that I can't say much about. But I WILL say that it concerns being worthy of love no matter what.

I don't wait til I get inspired! 'Inspired' sounds so serious and artistic. Writing is just recording your daydreams.
Talia Hibbert
Oh, yeah, definitely! I plan on it. *end mysterious answer*
