It’s
been three years, twenty-five weeks, and five days since Isis Blake fell in
love, and if she has it her way, it’ll stretch into infinity. Since then, she’s
punched Jack Hunter—
her
nemesis-turned-maybe-something-more—in the face, survived a brutal attack by
her mom’s abusive ex thanks to Jack’s heroics, and then promptly forgotten all
about him.
The
one bright spot for Isis is Sophia, the ephemeral girl who shares Isis’s
hospital stay as well as a murky past with Jack. But as Isis’s memories return,
she finds it harder and
harder
to resist what she felt for Jack, and Jack finds it impossible to stay away
from the only girl who’s ever melted the ice around his heart.
As
the dark secrets surrounding Sophia emerge, Isis realizes Jack isn’t who she
thought he was. He’s dangerous. But when Isis starts receiving terrifying
emails from an
anonymous
source, that danger might be the only thing protecting her from something far
more threatening.
Her
past.

Isis Blake hasn’t fallen in love in three years, nine weeks, and five days, and

moved to Buttcrack-of-Nowhere, Ohio, to help her mom escape a bad relationship.
All
the girls in her new school want one thing—Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince of East Summit
High. Hot as an Armani ad, smart enough to get into Yale, and colder than the
Arctic, Jack Hunter’s never gone out with anyone. Sure, people have seen him
downtown with beautiful women, but he’s never given high school girls the time
of day. Until Isis punches him in the face.
Jack’s
met his match. Suddenly everything is a game.
The goal: Make the other beg
for mercy.

The reward: Something neither of them expected.

Do the
characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as
you write?
Hey guys!
Thanks for having me. Did everyone have a good and spooky Halloween? J My
characters are definitely split down the middle in terms of coming to me or all
at the same time – sometimes I have a full cast in my head, but usually I
don’t, and this is where my regular method comes into play. It’s a little
confusing, but I hope it makes sense for you! Let’s get into it.
My
characters sort of form around one central character, in this case, Isis. I
knew I wanted a sassy and strong heroine who would give everyone in her new
town hell, and that required a certain type of character. From there, it’s
about giving that main character other characters who balance her; for
instance, Jack. He’s cold, calculated, and withdrawn, the complete opposite of
Isis. Kayla is charming and confident in her looks, something Isis is
definitely not. Wren is calm, kind, and reasonable, also things Isis sometimes
lacks. Together, they all teach the main character something, and help add
contrast to the tableau. Of course, Isis contrasts them all by being brave,
loud-mouthed, insecure, and a wit-queen.
Sometimes a
main character doesn’t come to me right away, and in that case I’ll usually
write several chapters to get a feel of them and let them develop naturally.
That’s how it’s going in my next book, a dark YA fantasy called BRING ME THEIR
HEARTS, about a girl who has no heart but is out to steal the crown Prince’s.
Literally. This character has gone through equally horrific things as Isis did,
if not more so, and I really have to carefully balance that seriousness with
the new character’s wit, determination, and a tendency to martyrdom. Every new
book written is a new main character and a new cast flowering out around them,
and that’s one of the best parts of being a writer; getting to see everything
bloom around your central idea.
I hope that
made sense. Every writer’s method is different, and I’ve been told mine can be
sort of weird, but it works for me! Whatever works for you, do it. That’s my
motto. Thank you so much for having me, and have a wonderful holiday season!
