Hello! I just wanted to say I just finished your book & I absolutely adored it! It left me sobbing when I finished it (in a good way). I have two quick questions for you: Do you have a favorite & least favorite character in IWWV, & was the plot in the first draft for IWWV a lot different than the current story (different characters, setting, events, etc.)? Have a lovely day :)

So glad to hear you loved the book. I don't really have favorite or least favorite characters--for me the group dynamics are what really make the magic, and they don't work without everyone. As for changes between drafts, I'm a very thorough outliner so the overarching plot didn't change, but we made a couple of significant scene-specific changes in the revision process.

Heyy! I can't tell you with words how much I loved this book and how much it meant to me, so let me ask you, have you permanently closed this project? Have you ever thought about making a prequel? Maybe on the third year or even how the group formed and how they met. I just feel like it would be so nice and I know for a fact lots of people will appreciate it, I just need to know what happened in Del Norte 💌

Hey, I just wanted to start out by saying that If We Were Villains is one of my favorite books of all time. Especially your writing is beautiful and captivating. My question is in how far you planned some of the foreshadowing in it? What are some examples where it was planned and where was it purely coincidental?
