Interview with Ava Sutton, Author of Zone Protection

02 Jul 2025

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Zone Protection?

I had Archie’s story in my head for a while before I even started writing the series. Emma was the perfect match for him. Once I started writing, her voice became louder, and I had actually changed the entire opening scene from his POV to hers. I knew I wanted them to fall hard and fast, and I’m really happy with how their story developed.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Zone Protection, what would they be?

I’m Gonna Love You by Carrie Underwood and Cody Johnson.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I mostly read sports romance and small-town romance. Mafia romance is fun to dip into when I’m looking for something a little darker.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I haven’t had much time to read lately, due to my writing schedule. But I plan to get some reading in over the summer.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I would say the opening chapter, but I also had fun writing their first unofficial date.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Not really, but I do thrive under a deadline. I wish I could be one of those writers who get a little bit in here and there, but I’m just not that way.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Stay focused on the big picture and keep moving forward.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Archie’s love for Emma.
