Interview with Charlotte Mallory, Author of Bound in Violet Ink

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bound in Violet Ink?

Romantasy can be such a daunting genre, so I wanted something that captured the “vibes” but in a short span of time, which meant really focusing on the letters being exchanged and the tension that builds before they meet.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Bound in Violet Ink, what would they be?

Mine by Sleep Token.

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

Anything titillating.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Shh, don’t acknowledge it, or it will get very jealous of whatever I’m currently reading.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

When he gets her letter that has her scent on it, and realizes he’s committed to finding her now.

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

Mugs, mugs, mugs, and tiny espresso cups.

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

The first draft is always telling the story to myself, whereas every draft after is learning to tell it to the reader.

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

That we should write letters to each other again with wax seals.
