Lily's story is a bit different … Continue reading Inspiration: Cary Grant, Clint Eastwood, and Pin-Up Couture

These two books drew vastly different inspiration than Jen Bradlee's trilogy. The book took on life years ago in the kernel of an idea I had for a story when … Continue reading Inspiration: Assassin’s Creed, Teresa Medeiros, and the Sarcastic Muse

Inspiration: Fangirls and The Hiddleston Obsession
Confessions of a Fangirl holds a very special place in my heart. Well, all of my books do, but this one especially. Ten years ago, I was a little obsessed with an actor who played a villainous role in a very prominent film franchise in 2012. Yup, you know who I'm talking about.
