Hi Deishima! I’m so glad you loved my story! I wish I could say there was some deep reasoning for that angle but honestly my characters always drive. Lol. Benjamin just came to me that way, and I just had to do my job and make his story fit him. Thank you so much for reaching out! Merry Christmas! 💕

:) Thank you for telling me that!!! I haven't been in here in a while and so I'm late getting your message, sorry about that. I'm so glad you loved DON'T LET GO. <3 Readers like you make my day. No, I haven't written a story for Seth, but I never say never. ;) One day the muse just might take me there.
I hope you'll check out my other books, especially my Charmed In Texas series, starting with A CHARMED LITTLE LIE. It's another "coming home" kind of story, and you might love it too. Let me know if you do! Thanks again for the sweet note!

(view spoiler)[Hi Sharla
I finished A CHARM LIKE YOU advanced copy today -- and I wonder if this is actually the end of the series?? Because it feels like so with how you wrapped up the story... (hide spoiler)]

I'm so sorry it took me so long to answer you, I haven't been in here in a while! To answer your question, yes, A CHARM LIKE YOU wraps up the Charmed In Texas series. I hope you liked it! I absolutely LOVED writing that series. :)

:) Sully and Carmen are doing fantastically well! Have you read #3 ONCE A CHARMER and #4 CHARMED AT FIRST SIGHT yet? They all make appearances in every book so stay tuned because the last Charmed book, #5 A CHARM LIKE YOU comes out on Christmas day!

Hi Sheila! My best selling book to date is still DON'T LET GO, which always blows me away because it's a few years old now. ;) But those characters are just gold...even to me! I love Jules and Noah! <3

Hi Autumn! There will be more Chase books eventually, but I don't have a date yet for the third book, as my publisher detoured me into another 3 book series (Charmed in Texas) that all come out next year starting in April. I hope you'll check that series out as well, I love it huge! And I promise to let everyone know on my website and Facebook when the Chase books will kick back up. I can tell you that the third book is Hannah's :) and it will have lots of snark. LOL. Thanks for asking!!

LOL, thank you for writing, and I'm so glad you enjoy my books!! At this time, there are no plans for Patrick, ;) but he was quite the hottie, wasn't he? :) Have a great day!

No, but I did just meet her finally in July of this year. Was so excited to be sitting next to her at a massive author signing in New York City. She is absolutely the sweetest most genuine person I've ever met. :) Lovelace is my maiden name, and actually, her husband was there and we got to talking about it. :) We haven't ruled out that he and I might be connected in some distant family tree. LOL.

Sorry about that Sanja. How that came about is DLG was originally published as an indie, then a publishing house bought the rights to it for rerelease. Totally separate entity which included a new cover and adding the epilogue. The two were not related or connected, so there was no way to just update what was done previously. I hated that readers had to repurchase, but I truly hope you enjoyed the new version and loved the epilogue! I still get weepy every time I read it myself! :) Love those characters so much.

Never give up. No matter how many rejections, how much you second guess yourself, never quit. It's a brutal business that requires thick skin, so put on your armor every day and go to work. If you get negative feedback, improve. If you have a crazy life and a job and kids and you think you don't have time, make the time. And you don't have to be a full time writer to succeed. I have a full time day job and write evenings and weekends. If you want it bad enough, don't make excuses. Do the laundry at midnight while you sit your butt in a chair and work on your craft. If you ever want it to surpass "hobby" status, punch in like it's a job.
Sharla Lovelace
Great question, and I have, actually. :) It's always a thought back there with some other secondary characters from other books. I never seem to have time to get to those stories, but you never know! Never count it out. :)
