00:00Tell us about the importance of writing dynamic, slow burn relationships where the heroine
00:04maintains her complete autonomy, even when facing a sexy nemesis or a grumpy French wolf
00:09shifter.
00:10The joy of writing my women is not that they are looking for completion.
00:15It's that they're going to stand toe to toe with these infuriating males.
00:19So again, a big part of my upbringing was a steady diet of old Hollywood screwball comedies
00:26with characters, you know, like Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant in His Girl Friday, like just
00:31going at it, but each really holding their own.
00:34And so I have a very deep love of that dynamic and I really enjoy playing it out in different
00:39ways in my books.
00:40Before we wrap up, we have to talk about Nava Katz, your unlikable demon hunter who started
00:45it all.
00:45Whether it's Nava, Ashira in the Jezebel files or Miriam throwing shade, you clearly love
00:50a heroine who refuses to apologize for taking up space.
00:53Why is that unapologetic personal sovereignty such a vital and powerful theme for you to
00:58put out into the world?
