Regarding The Hooker and the Hermit, did you write one POV and L.H. the other, or was it a complete collaboration between you two? Would you say it's harder or easier to work on a collaboration?

Hi Ashley,
Re: your questions:
1) Did you write one POV and LH the other?
I wrote Annie's POV then sent the chapter to LH; LH would edit my chapter then write/send me Ronan's POV. I would edit Ronan's POV then write/send LH Annie's POV. We did this back and forth until the book was finished.
2) Easier or more difficult to work on a collaboration?
LH Cosway is one of my favorite authors. Therefore I found working with her to be extremely easy. She is a very generous writing partner. I would become excited after reading her chapters/inspired for Annie to "react" to Ronan's actions. The first draft was written very quickly. As well, the edits and additions after BETA reader feedback were easy to navigate because we got on so well. We basically agreed on everything.
Writing The Hooker and the Hermit was insane levels of fun and I can't wait to write another book with LH Cosway. <3
Best, Penny

So, I've finished the awesomness that was Dating-ish and I happened to notice that Marie's brother was named ABRAM. I couldn't help but wonder (squealing in delight) if he's the same Abram from Elements of Chemistry and the upcoming Laws of Physics series? Also, since Abram and Marie are potentially related, is Anna I. Harris from Nobody Looks Good in Leather Pants also related to Marie and Abram?
