When I was 6 in 2003 my first little crush was Peter Pan from the live movie and since then I have been a die hard Peter Pan fan, obviously I grew up and me being the little stalker I was followed the movies Peter played in for years after. As I look back at it now, it was more than a crush, different maybe, it was diving into a fantasy world and wanting nothing more than to be a part of it, it was the way he and the movie embodied everything I wished life was - magical, loyal, filled with adventure and joy. I get to do that in your writing, dive into a sexy, fantasy, awe inspiring world and my heart sings with this ability. I cannot wait to dive into this next adventure you are preparing, I can’t wait to get lost in it, be unable to leave my house until I have completed the journey! Thank you so much for creating these beautiful worlds I never want to leave. And a very belated happy birthday to you x

First of all, Happy Birthday!!

Secondly, I love this so much. I'm glad that you know when to give yourself the space to be who you are and to love that. So much of our lives are hindered by fear in one form or another. People's judgements can hold us back from being our best selves, and I'm just so glad that you found your lane. You're an amazing writer, and I am SO glad that I found your books.

I cannot wait to see what you do with the world of Oz. It's going to be so much fun. 😏

I’m so excited for your next adventure!

Laurell K Hamilton was a huge influence on my writing, too. I was lucky to get to meet her at a book signing and she’s just as wonderful as can be!

I felt this for sure. I am 45 and got pregnant at 17. It’s been a crazy road no doubt. Intimacy in our generation is a bit flawed. Losing virginity and sex was thrown all in our faces constantly in every movie and every song, I swear. But at the same time you could never openly talk about it. Very confusing to a teenager during that time! Love your books! You are an amazing author! Can’t wait for any new book you release! 📚❤️‍🔥
