Interview with MZ Rylan, Author of Bound by Her

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bound by Her?

I originally started writing an epic fantasy series. I finished the first draft and was halfway through my second when I started to get burned and stressed out. It was my husband who suggested I take a break from writing the fantasy and write something fun. Originally, I had the idea for what ended up being chapter one. I sat down and wrote almost fifteen thousand words in one sitting. The words and the characters just poured out of me. The rest is history.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Bound by Her, what would they be?

Brother by Kodaline.

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

Fantasy and Dark Romance. Yes!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I’m currently ARC reading an omega verse, why choose – Whisked Away by Enolas Douglas

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

There is a scene towards the middle of the book where two MCs share ice cream. There is such a tender moment in there, and it was so fun to write. I also have a soft spot for every scene that Adria gets to spend with the male MCs separately.

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

I have to light a candle if I’m home. And I need music.

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

Be curious.

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

Love doesn’t heal you, but it can give you space to heal yourself.
