Hello Ms. Rayven! I am a first-time reader of your's, a few chapters into your book Mr. Romance, and I am trying to form a picture of the characters in my head. Often stories have a white bias, but you mention several characteristics of Eden and her sister that makes me think they may be black. Could you clear this up for me? Thank you, hope your writing is going well and you're healthy in this time!

Hey, Hannah! Thanks for your question. Although I do have several POC characters in supporting roles in my books, in Mister Romance, Eden and her sister are white. In fact, they're redheads, so that makes them the whitest people ever. (As an extremely pale, can-never-even-get-a-tan person myself, I tend to write what I know.)
I hope that doesn't diminish your enjoyment of the book. Thank you so much for reaching out, and thank you for reading. Sending you best wishes from Australia! xxx

Hello Leisa! I just want to say your Starcrossed series is my all time favorite series. I relate to it so so much and I love the characters so much! So I was wondering, where did you receive your inspiration for writing this series from? It was so amazing and I bet it took such thinking to come up with the complex personalities of the characters! Thank you so much for this amazing series!
