hi there, i just want to know what things does people expect from a love story? if the story of someone's real love story, there will be tears, pain. And most importantly i want to know what should i do,if the real love story doesn't have any ending? how can i put it to end? plzz help me...

I can't tell you how to end a love story. In any case, why does it have to end? Like you observed, not all love stories have an ending, or at least, not something that looks like a fitting conclusion to that emotional journey. Consider what would feel true to your characters. Remember that you're writing for yourself and your story, not necessarily your readers. If you try to appeal to what they want or try to tick boxes off a checklist of love stories, the story will lack sincerity. Readers will be able to tell. As a reader, I expect many things from a love story, but mostly I expect that falling in love is as much an exploration of oneself as it is discovering another person. I hope that helps.

Hi, I asked you a question about what the hardcover of your book looked like. I just didn't say which book! Ooops, sorry! The book was The Star Touched Queen. Also, I've heard The Star Touched Queen is a retelling of Persephone and Hades, is that true? :)

i really, really loved a star-touched queen! i finished it recently and now want to read anything else you've written because your writing is so darn poetic and gorgeous. I read in an interview that you are working on a book based in the la belle epoque era, and was wondering whether it would have a poc protagonist? hope you have a great day/night wherever you are, and thank you for sharing your talents with us all.
