I never had any trouble understanding her-we both have big bodies, big personalities, and we don’t do much in half-measures. SM: Honestly, Hattie came to me nearly fully formed. How did you find your way into her story? Is there a particular scene that you feel encompasses who she is as a person, and what is your favourite thing about that scene? This book taught me that I could still write with fearlessness and the result, I hope, is a book that is, as Max Perkins liked to say, “alive from beginning to end.”ĪC: Hattie is a plus-size heroine, one of a still very small number in romance novels. With Brazen, I set out to write a book that navigated through those sticky places-to write the characters, the plot, the conflict, the sex-all as fearlessly as possible. When you start out writing, no one tells you that the craft gets more and more challenging-of course it does!-you learn to predict mistakes and pitfalls and challenges, and your instinct is to listen to those predictions and navigate around them.
