Breaking Through To You follows a twenty-three-year-old woman who, after being stood up, meets a man who helps her onto a road of self-discovery and finding what she truly wants in a relationship. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I wanted to write a story about a girl desperate for love and a boy desperately trying to avoid it, and then have them meet. Thus Breaking Through To You was born.

Did you plan the tone and direction of the novel before writing, or did it come out organically as you were writing?

I never outline or plan. I come up with a scene and let the story unravel as I go.

Your characters are wonderfully emotive and relatable. Were you able to use anything from your own life to inform their character development?

Bits and pieces of their lives are similar to the lives of the people I know and love. I’m an observant person, and I always pay attention to details when it comes to conversations and personalities. Much of what I write is based off of that.

What is the next book you are working on, and when will it be available?

I have a few in the works. As Far As We Knew will be available February 14, 2024. The Stowaway: Series will be available March 17, 2024. Meeting You will be available April 23, 2024 (which also happens to be my birthday)! I’m also working on a sequel for Breaking Through To You which I hope to have released by November 2024.
