Hi, I had a question about your writing process? If you're unable or unwilling to share, I completely understand but I was wondering how you come up with such strong characters that grow on you. I'm a huge huge fan of your books :)

Hi, Mina,
It's actually pretty simple, I get a "What if..." I think about someone, a situation, etc. and how it would play out, what kind of person they are, their likes, dislikes, their past, etc. what makes them the person they are and how they would react. The characters write themselves, but they have to be somewhat developed in my head in order to do that I guess. I hope that makes sense.

Hi there~ Is there a reason why you went into your books "Tall; Dark; & Heartless" and "Tall;Dark & Lonely" and made a lot of changes? You didn't go in and change the spelling or grammer, you changed a lot of the wordage and it changed the entire tone of the stories.
