And before we get too much into the book specifically, can you tell me what got you starting with writing?
Well, congratulations to you because that takes a lot of work and commitment to do that.
But I think you're right.
It's a really interesting point to wait until you're older because I think that really lends a lot of nuance to the book.
What are some of the themes that you were really passionate about including?
Yeah, wow.
And how much did your English literature degree help you with all of that, do you think?
Did it set you up well to become a writer?
It's a real passion topic of mine about this because fantasy has blown up and romanticism is so popular now.
And it's not like it's new.
It's been around for ages.
It just now has a name.
It has this huge readership who are all reading so many books.
But there is so much in every single one of them.
And for some reason people think that romance equals kind of like shallow, you know, kind of themes and everything.
It's completely the opposite.
Yeah, it is a really interesting time for the industry because we're kind of being faced with this huge influx of these romantasy books and authors and content.
And so many readers just like can't get enough of it.
And it's interesting what you say about the new adult thing because I find that really nuanced.
I feel like it's almost such a specific industry thing sometimes because it's like what is the actual, where is the line between YA, like young adult sort of for your teenagers?
