Hi April, Was there a particular person or persons who influenced your creation of Ivy, or any of the other characters in the book? Inquiring minds want to know! :-) --Michael

April Moran Hey Mike!!!! When I decided to get serious about writing Taming Ivy, the concept of a misunderstood Poison Ivy character was just floating around in my head. For a romance novel, there is always some sort of misunderstanding on the characters' parts, and revenge is so one-sided, it was a natural line to follow for this story. But, I really didn't have a particular person in mind when writing. In fact, after the first draft, I realized Ivy was just too wimpy and perfect lol! I went back and gave her some backbone and a few flaws. Same for Sebastian- had to soften him up a little, otherwise he'd just be an over the top alpha who gets what he wants.
