Hi Ms. Dickerson! I'm so glad you write lovely, clean romances that Christian teens like me can enjoy without cringing! Each book is wonderful and what I love is that each book is different. How do you give each book a different feel and-in some ways-personality? A lot of books I've read that, like yours, follow one another but are not directly connected seem to repeat themselves. Thank you! Lauren

Hi, Lauren! Thank you!
It is really hard not to repeat yourself in books. Sometimes we authors forget what we already said. Sometimes we want to make sure the reader pays attention to something, and we might think we repeated it once or twice, when in reality, we repeated it 5 or 6 times!
Repetition is something we try to avoid, and a good editor can help us a lot!
