I was a young avid reader, particularly of romance novels. At age 40ish, after a LONG reading drought, I read Sweet Dreams and that changed everything! You have a knack for writing women like no one else I've ever read. I identify with so many of your female characters, even though our lives are completely different. How do you write women so well? Thanks & I love you!! #fangirlmoment

Well, I guess being a 40ish (VERY 40ish) woman myself, with some life under my belt and a lot of girlfriends, I just paid attention. And I definitely put something "real" in all my female characters in the hopes that readers can identify with them. I'm delighted to read that you do! and that I ended your reading drought. I hope your return to reading lasts a LOOOOONG time! xx

Love Chaos so deeply I've had trouble reading anything else--I just want to be back at the Compound. THE WILL just changed that. So powerful. Reading it I could feel these characters coming through you like this story had to be told. I have to ask what inspired Jake. He, and the book, are so YOU and familiar yet there was something different, new. Did you identify this newness? If so, how did you conceptualize it?

okay so I've read almost every book you've written and by that I mean I've re-read all thirty of them at least twice....not creepy or weird typing that out ;) anywayyyyy I'm just re-reading Bounty (I love Jus and Deke) and wondering what ever happened to Bianca and Justice's relationship? I remember the Christmas card at the end but what happens next? Do Lacey and Justice meet up with Bianca?
