Unlike Any Other Woman
Johanna Rules follows a shifter princess who has lost her and her place in the pack but finds an intense bond with the fae king who saves her life. Where did the inspiration for this novel come from?
I have written bear shifter novels and wolf shifter novels and with Johanna her wolf would manipulate other wolves so I knew Val had to be different. I wanted something that would be the opposite so I was watching tv one day and they had a documentary about fae or fairies. It hit me then, that was what I came up with.
One of Johanna’s defining qualities is that she refuses to lose her independence, even after finding love. Why was that important to her character?
I wanted to stay true to her wolf and to her and I loved her fire and her independence. She had to keep it and I made sure she did. Val loves that about her and she is unlike any other woman.
Did you always know how Val’s relationship with Johanna would evolve, or did it develop naturally as you wrote?
Some of the beginning yes but as i wrote it changed but i loved the dynamic and the fights scenes were so fun to write. I wanted an enemies to lovers kind of book and I think i got it.
Did your ending stay true to your original outline, or did the characters lead you somewhere unexpected?
No, it was true to the end. I wanted some slight changes but not many. I did have some changes when she teased Val at the end but it was hard to leave them. They became friends that you just had to visit so yes it ended how i wanted it.
