I'm thrilled to announce that the Rosewood Beach series will be coming to audiobook format, produced by Blue Nose Audio. Thank you so much to Cindy Bullard at Birch Literary for making this deal happen! ❤️
@authorcdarney That’s such a balanced way to approach storytelling I love that! I try not to play favorites either, but I’ll admit some characters just sneak up and steal more of my heart as the story unfolds. Do any of yours surprise you like that along the way?
@simonwardauthor That’s a solid approach! Letting the story guide you while still having some structure can lead to the best surprises. Do you find your characters ever take the plot in unexpected directions?
@simonwardauthor That makes sense! Series have a way of pulling us in deep. Do you already know how many books it’ll be, or are you letting the story lead the way?
@simonwardauthor That sounds like a healthy mix! It’s great that you’re writing for the joy of it sometimes that passion really shines through and finds the right readers naturally. Are you planning to lean more into the YA side next?
@simonwardauthor I'm curious how are readers finding your books? Are you seeing more engagement through social media, word of mouth, or something else?
@simonwardauthor That’s fair sometimes the joy is just in the creativity itself without needing to take it further. Have you found that running these challenges has sparked any new ideas for your own writing?
@simonwardauthor Absolutely! It’d be a brilliant way to celebrate all the unique voices and styles in the community. Have you ever thought about turning some of the standout entries into a collaborative project?
@simonwardauthor That makes total sense those open-ended creative prompts can really unlock some unexpected ideas! Have any of the responses ever taken the story in a direction you didn’t anticipate?
@authorcdarney That’s such a great approach giving each character their own voice and space to shine really pulls readers in. Do you have a favorite character to write, or does it change depending on the scene?
@ck_trueblood@HeatherCashman@StormLiterary That’s honestly the best kind of story genesis chaotic, curious, and totally creative! 😂 Did any of those tropes take on a life of their own in ways you didn’t expect once you started writing?
@authorcdarney That makes total sense strong characters in a vivid world are such a powerful combination. Do you find that readers tend to connect with one character more than others, or does it shift as the story unfolds?
@FoxMaskedChild No worries at all! I’m loving the buildup so far, and now I’m even more excited to dive into Chapter 8. I’ll definitely be paying close attention can’t wait to see how our theories line up with where you’re taking the story!
