Dear Readers:
Thank you for your support. It's always nice to hear from you. I'm posting a few of your questions, along with my answers.
Question: "Will there be a sequel to Summer & Joon?"
As much as I loved the story, I think it's complete. I won't rule out featuring some of the characters in another story.
Question: "What inspired you to write Summer & Joon?"
I just wanted to write a straight up love story that takes place in the winter. Which happens to be my least favorite season. I wanted it to feel as though the diner folk as well as the readers had a stake in Summer & Joon's relationship.
Question: "Was Dane still in love with Summer?"
Summer was Dane's first true love. She nursed him back to health after his accident. They share a child and a history. I think he loved her, I'll let the readers decide if he was still in love with her.
Question: " Can you tell me about the bunny Clyde?"
When I was a kid, my sister had this hefty rabbit named Clyde. He would nibble on our books and shoes.
Question: "Scotty is an interesting character."
Yes, there's something so pure and sweet about Scotty. I really enjoyed writing him.
Question: "Is Joon based on anyone in real life?"
Yes and no. I get asked that question a lot. He's a combination of different people.
Question: "How did you pick your songs?"
Music is such an important part of my life. It inspires me more than anything else. I was stacking wood in the yard, and Spotify was playing. That's when I heard "So In love" by Curtis Mayfield. I stopped stacking the wood and had to find out the name of the song. Once I heard it, I knew it was going to be Summer & Joon's song. Of course I adore Motown and the rest of the songs are some of my favorites.
Thanks for the questions.
I'll answer more next week.💓
