Ever wondered how stories come to fruition? It took a while and a few re-writes to find a version of Settling Slowly I liked. Here’s a look into the reasoning I had for abandoning a couple of early starts of the book.

A question that seems relevant to me today is “Why did you write Falling Fast?” Because the only YA books I’ve read that have strong, female lead characters who aren’t there simply because the author needed a romance to make the took happen, have all been fantasy books.
