Hello and thanks for the question. The book was pushed back a little on my end but will be out sometime this year. I'm still waiting for an exact date but when I have it, I will definitely post an update. I would imagine sometime in the fall!

Inspiration comes from everywhere so that's a tough one to answer. For me, I end up wondering a lot of "what if" until a concept sticks. Sometimes it's an overall idea to explore, other times it's just a bit of dialogue.
After that, I start to visualize a character or sometimes a certain scene and that's when I know I'm going to write the book. Bonus points if I can hear the main character's voice in my head.
For instance, with Garden of Thorns, I had the thought that when women dance in ballgowns, they look a little like flowers. From there, I thought about what it would be like to be one of these "flowers", why she would be there and before I knew it, this loud voice was in my head, talking to me and everything took off from there.

Arielle, I'm so glad you enjoyed my book! I'm happy to let you know that the sequel (and third book) was announced today. The second book in the trilogy will be coming out Fall 2018. Hopefully you like this one just as much but it lets you get a little bit of sleep. ;)
