Literary Titan recently interviewed yours truly about Book 3 of the Transformation Series, Entirely. The editors posed thought-provoking questions, and it was a lot of fun to reflect on the story itself and the writing process. If you want to have a read, you can find the full Q&A here. Below, I've pasted some snippets:

Entirely continues to follow the love saga of Quinn and Jonathan and introduces new challenges that threaten to break up their relationship. What was the inspiration for the obstacles they faced in this story?
A couple of things inspired the obstacles facing Quinn and Jonathan...First, my curiosity about how Quinn would get more involved at Octavia’s club β€” and how that would impact her relationship with Jonathan...
And the second source of inspiration was the challenge of real-life relationships. Often in relationships, you might resolve a thorny issue only to have it arise again (and again and again) πŸ˜‰ as time goes on, each time with a slightly different twist or complication...
What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?
Throughout the writing of all three books, I promised myself (and the characters) that I would step back and watch where they would drive the story. At heart, I’m a plotter, a writer who likes to outline and know where the story will go. But sometimes (often?) things you think will work ahead of time don’t actually work on the page...

There's more to the interview, including about character development and plans for future books. Thank you to the editors for the opportunity and the great questions!
