Ooop I’m late but I want to share my favorite line from With Love, Thea. “As long as I have the privilege of being alive, I’ll love her enough for the both of us.”

This is a fun one! I’ve kind of always pictured Thea as Emily Bader. Hansen on the other hand I have no idea who I’d cast as him haha. He has a very specific look that I have yet to come across in an actor.

Well, if we are really embracing a non-HEA then I’d say that Thea ends back up with Cam (her ex at the start of the book who is DEFINITELY not the guy for her) that would be super depressing and I hate it for her 😆

This is my first time ever writing a haiku, so it’s probably not the best haha. But it’s inspired by my WIP 😊 Grief stole all I knew, you sat with me in silence. Love dared to return.

I would say their past. That’s a vague answer, I know 😂 but there’s a lot of emotional trauma to unpack in their past and neither one of them is quite ready to do it until much later in the book.

I’ve never thought of this before! Just off the top of my head, I’d probably go with “Falling Slowly” from the musical Once. It’s one of my favorite songs and I think really captures Thea and Hansen’s love.

My favorite subject! Romance tropes! I’m a second chance girlie through and through. Love reading and writing it. Enemies to lovers is good too if done right. I don’t like when they don’t have a legit reason to hate each other 😂 I’m also always going to love a slow burn 🔥 ♥️

I write a lot of different places but mostly on my living room couch while my baby plays in the room next to me. Also, to get in the zone I’m always listening to music!

Oh man, in so many ways Thea is just like me. The way she handles her grief and emotions is spot on me. But I do think we differ in personalities. She’s more soft spoken and quiet. While I have a very strong/loud personality lol.

With Love, Thea is set in a fictional small town called South Creek. She spends a lot of the book in the woods where she’s renovating her late brother’s cabin.

Wow, more good news today when it comes to writing! Last week, I was ready to never write again (I’m nothing if not dramatic lol) but this dream sure does come with some highs and lows! Hoping everyone else gets some great news today!

There’s a book (by an author I really look up to) that I REALLY want to read, but it has a very similar vibe to my WIP. I fear if I read it I will be constantly comparing the two. 😩

I’ve been querying 2 books over the span of 2 years. My mental health has REALLY not enjoyed the process lol. I’ve wanted to be a published author my entire life, part of me is wondering if maybe self-publishing is the way to go.

That awkward moment when the plot synopsis for one of your favorite authors new book comes out and it’s nearly identical to the plot of the book you just outlined 😅 same FMC name, same occupation, and nearly the same backstory haha. What are the odds lol.
