My most recent published book, The College Girl's Coiffetta, started literally as a stupid pun. I don't recall why but I thought the word "Coiff" sounded funny and thought that combined with the word "vendetta" it would make for a bizarre title.
Originally, I wanted it to do with a character wanting to work in the cosmetology field (Either a makeup artist or a hairstylist), but ultimately, I decided to tackle a story about studying fashion abroad.
The inspiration for Gatsby was obviously The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but the idea to make the character blind stemmed from wanting to research more about the Blind community (since I have a background and experience learning about the Deaf community). Hopefully, overall, I did justice of all the elements in this story.
