FAQ

In what order should I read your New Hope/Love Unbound books?

I created each of my series to stand on its own. However, the Love Unbound books are set in the same New Hope world. If you prefer to start at the beginning, this is the reading order I recommend:

 

Love Unbound: Splintered Hearts

Unbreak Me (Maggie’s story)

Stolen Wishes: A Wish I May Prequel Novella (Will and Cally’s prequel)

Wish I May (Will and Cally’s novel)

Or read them together in the omnibus edition, Splintered Hearts: The New Hope Trilogy

 

Love Unbound: Here and Now

Lost in Me (Hanna’s story begins)

Fall to You (Hanna’s story continues)

All for This (Hanna’s story concludes)

Or read them together in the omnibus edition, Here and Now: The Complete Series

 

Love Unbound: Reckless and Real

Something Wild (Liz and Sam’s story begins)

Something Reckless (Liz and Sam’s story continues)

Something Real (Liz and Sam’s story concludes)

Or read them together in the omnibus edition, Reckless and Real: The Complete Series

 

Love Unbound: Mended Hearts

Playing with Fire (Nix’s story, coming summer 2015)

 

What advice do you have for aspiring authors?

The best advice I have for new or aspiring authors can be summed up in four points:

Read a lot.

Write a lot.

Analyze what you read and what you write.

Persist far beyond when all reason would indicate you’ve failed.

Unfortunately, the journey from writer to successful novelist isn’t one I can outline because it’s different for everyone. However, if you follow the overly simplified advice above and surround yourself with people who believe in you, I believe you can do anything.

 

I read the Here and Now Series with Hanna, Max, and Nate. Does the guy who didn’t end up with Hanna get a happily-ever-after?

 

(Spoilers ahead!!)

—————–

 

Yes, I’m thrilled to say that Max gets his happily-ever-after in Playing with Fire.
