Katherine asked Romina Russell:

Can I know what's your astrological sign and if it's not cancer what made you want to write a story from the cancer house and not yours. And can I know whether the trilogy book main character is going to be Rho? Thanks!

Romina Russell Sure! I’m a Virgo, but I knew I didn’t want to write about myself—I wanted to get inside the mind of a new and unfamiliar character. I think the MC could have been from any Zodiac House, but I was particularly interested in exploring the impact this kind of story would have on a young woman who wasn’t “tough” or a natural fighter at the outset. I was curious what would happen to someone who’s warm, gentle, and nurturing if they embarked on this kind of journey. In Hunger Games terms, I pictured Rho as more Prim than Katniss—and she seemed to me to fit best within House Cancer.

And yes, Rho is also the MC of the sequel--which is nearly finished! :)

Thanks for your questions!
