Questions

What do you like the most about writing?

I like exploring different topics and different kinds of characters. There is nothing like a good character arc, and seeing somebody grow, and find their happily ever after.

Why did you decided to write romance?

I’ve written romance, and in general really, from an early age. I had two books in Croatian written by the time I was fourteen. They were YA romantasy books. Later on, when I was in my 20s, I switched to writing contemporary romance, which I’m now exclusively writing in English.

What advice would you give to a new author?

Take your time and get to know the business. Writing book is the hardest, and the easiest part at the same time, but the real work starts once the book is done and you have to find your readers and learn how to package and market the book. I’d also suggest the new authors to have at least couple of books written before publishing the first one. I always regrated not having some space to relax and have the option to write ahead to take some of the pressure of delivering the next book off my shoulders.

What struggles did you met when you wrote your first book?

I didn’t know anything about the market, and how to promote my book, or even what was popular. Now I’m better at knowing my lane, what my brand is etc.

Do you write with music? If yes, do you have a special song?

If I listen to music, it’s usually classical music. I like singing along to my favorite songs, so that can get really distracting. I do like listening to music and let it inspire me when I’m plotting a certain book.

Which one of your books will you recommend to a new reader?

It really depends on what tropes one likes. Most of my books are interconnected standalones and can be read as such. My favorite are Habit (brother’s teammate & hockey) , Kiss To Shatter and Kiss To Salvage (brother’s best friend, football, extremely heartbreaking), and It Should Have Been Us (second chance football).

What are your next projects?

I’m currently working on my small town, single dad, surprise pregnancy romance Need You To Choose Me. It’s book two in Bluebonnet Creek series. I’m also plotting the rest of the series, as well as a couple new sports romance series.
