Let’s bust some of the most common myths about romance writing!

In this post, I’m sharing a special Q+A from which Techboy was my favorite to write, to where I’ve jotted down scenes at 3 a.m., to who I’d cast as Fabian if the series ever hit Netflix (hint: rugged and tattooed!). It’s a mix of behind-the-scenes secrets, writing confessions, and a little bit of fun for romance fans.

Behind the first kiss in The Refusal is a turning point for Janus and Jo. He holds back, giving her space, but when she leans in, everything changes. Writing from his POV let me show his vulnerability, her choice, and the spark that shifts their relationship from hesitation to desire.

A summer recap of family travels, bookish escapes, and Scottish adventures.
