What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write King?
I love writing mafia romance books, so I wanted to write one that was a little dark and sweet at the same time.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of King, what would they be?
The theme song for this book is “Honeymoon” by Lana Del Rey. It’s a romantic, dark-sounding song that fits very well with this book.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
My favorite genre to read is honestly any genre. I don’t read as much romance now that I write it, but I do love a good romantasy. I also love a good thriller.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The next book on my list to read is The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favorite scene to write was when Irina and Nikolai—my main characters—meet for the first time. I just love writing the tension and passion of a first meeting.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
My writing habit is to stick to my routine. I don’t have any good luck charms—it’s just discipline for me to be able to write. Writing in a genre I enjoy also helps.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I always say, “Just keep writing.” As long as I keep writing, I’ll be able to do what I love to do—one page at a time.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
It would be to remember to trust the people in your life. You can’t be an isolated island.
