So, the opening scene of this book came to me. I wrote it. Then it sat for a really long time, a year or two, before the characters told me the rest of the story.
I am a firm believer in letting the characters tell you the story you are supposed to write. I developed this habit very early in my writing journey and it hasn’t failed me yet. Every single time I try to switch things up and do things my way, the characters remind me that it is their story to tell. I am not in control. I am just the scribe. I polish it up, but I don’t dictate what happens.
India was a wild one. I didn’t expect her story to go the way it went. I knew she wasn’t going to end up with that guy she was moving with. Then she revealed her story to me and I was giddy. Ahmad was just want she needed.
I enjoyed writing this book a lot. I love writing sisters. I knew when I got halfway through this book that each sister was going to have her own book. India was the start of it all.
Coming to other retailers before the end of 2026.
