You take something raw, chisel away at it, rework it, until it’s something beautiful. I love it! I think it’s my favourite part of the overall writing process. I didn’t want to make light of it or distract from the devastation…which is why the mood shifts a lot in the second half of the book.ħ–Do you look forward to or do you dread the revision process? She’s determined, funny, carefree, and I think everyone needs a Ruby in their life.Ħ–What was one of your biggest challenges while writing this book (spoiler-free, of course!)?īecause it takes place during a real-life historical event-a historical tragedy, at that, where people lost their lives and their descendants are still around today…it was important to me to not only represent it accurately but also do so in a manner that is respectful to the victims. But underneath it all, there’s also a vulnerability to her that she doesn’t let show to anyone. She is one of those people who has her own dreams and goals in life, and while she’ll maybe alter some things for those she loves, she will stick by what she wants and who she loves.
But the sinking brings out another side of her that I really hadn’t expected as I was planning and drafting it.ĥ–Why will readers love her love interest ?īecause she’s spunky. All throughout we see that Penelope isn’t really sure of herself or where she stands in the world, or with the people in her life. That it’s just one place? But in all honesty, the Titanic was such an incredible ship for its time and the sheer luxury and glamour of it was fun to reproduce while writing-even if the characters are sailing in Second Class and so don’t really experience much of the more lavish amenities. It’s an historical sapphic romance set aboard the fateful maiden voyage of RMS Titanic, where the main character, Penelope Fletcher, is moving to America and is sharing a cabin with Ruby Cole, a free-willed Irish woman who Penelope is immediately drawn and attracted to.ģ–What do you love about the setting of your book? 1–What is the title of your latest release?
