A Word About... Swearing
Ahhhh, the swear word, the curse, the obscenity, the good ol' bleeped out sentence.
Why do we do it? Is it cultural? Regional? Emotional? All of the above?
I posted a link to a lovely article on my website. You can click here to read it
http://www.relativelyfamousseries.com...
Yes, my characters swear. A lot. Yes, I grew up this way, it wasn't uncommon for an entire casual conversation to be littered with curses. In the South where I live now? Not so much.
Enjoy, you $&%&(*# people! (just kidding!)

The last book is a retelling of Relatively Famous from Drew's POV, so you get more insight into why he reacts the way he does and what he's thinking when Sydney does here usual duck and cover.
Release is scheduled for October 26th and it will be available for preorder on Amazon soon.

Why is Sydney so annoying?
This is a question a lot of readers have. I figured now that all 3 books are out (with the exception of Drew's POV), I can answer that honestly.
My reasoning for her being 'annoying' is because I had to stay true to her personality. I couldn't take 24 years of fear, lack of trust, and the instinct to run away and curl up in a ball and change it just because she meets a hot guy.
That's not fair to Sydney, or to the readers. People can't change their behavior overnight, and yes, she's frustrating as hell sometimes. She's untrusting, suspicious, a very naive when it comes to making relationships with other people. That's a lot to overcome. I felt like one year, the amount spanned in the three books, was a good amount of time for her to grow and learn, but like any human, she suffered some setbacks.
Remember, she had a lot of crappy stuff to deal with as a child, and like anyone scarred so young, it follows you to adulthood. Her idea of coping as been to pretend whatever is stressing her out isn't happening, and fall deep into denial. Well, we all know that denial only works for so long, which is why she develops a serious anxiety disorder. Drew and Leah help her heal, but she has to work it through on her own, and she does. But as you know, it took time and a hell of a lot of patience from her friends and family for her to get to a better place. Even then, in the epilogue, Drew hints that Sydney still has some setbacks with her anxiety and fears. (I hope to bring you some of these scenes in bonus chapters or a novella)
I hope this helps you understand her better! I love her, even her flawed, ridiculous, overanxious self.
