Facts About the Author:
1. What is the thing you struggle with the most while writing? And how do you defeat it?
Not being "in the mood." It's rare that I jump into writing with enthusiasm and the words flow effortlessly. Sometimes it's agony to get things moving. But if I waited for those rare moments, nothing would ever get done. I have to set deadlines for myself and then look forward to a reward of some type for getting the work done. Yes, I'm like a puppy that way. A really cute one.
2. Which of your personality traits did you write into you characters? (Deliberately or accidentally)
Hmm. Well, these were definitely accidental. Treena is a perfectionist, a girl with a checklist, prioritized and color-coded. I'm totally that way too. But there's a little of me in Vance as well. He finds it hard to see past his mistakes in the past and beats himself up over it. I'm my worst critic, and shutting off that inner voice is really hard.

"Your Rating is wrong," he said. "Their precious Rating system says absolutely nothing about you and what you're capable of."
"So far, everything I've done has proven my number absolutely correct."
"Treena." His tone softened. "I don't know why that happened to you. But I do know one thing." He stopped on the step below me, and I whirled to face him. We were the same height now, and his expression was fierce. "You are the most loyal, most determined, and most fascinating girl I've ever met. No number could ever describe you."
