Sometimes when readers get mad at my characters, I think maybe it’s not the fictional girl they’re angry at, maybe it’s their younger self. Or their sister. Or their best friend. That reflection, that truth, that’s what I’m chasing.

More lovers out there are dribbling or being dribbled, it’s the order of love these days

These stories are fiction, yes, but they’re also a mirror. They are a reflection of the emotional reality many people live in silence

That’s what I hope my work keeps doing. Not just telling stories but building relationships between like-minded people

I love entanglements because that’s how it is in the real world.

Each award feels like a recognition of all the passion and energy I pour into my stories
