What inspired you to write your latest book?
Dream Big is the final book in The Sabela Series. It was such a joy to write, but being the last book in the series, it was also bittersweet. I wanted to give the series an unforgettable ending, and what better way to do that but put myself in the book and meet the characters I had created? I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off, but it came together flawlessly. In the book I am living my big dream while telling my characters to follow theirs. It was an amazing experience to write the book.
Have any of your readers’ reactions to this book surprised you?
The reaction from readers has been fantastic and thought the ending to the series was amazing and perfect. The book takes place on Catalina Island, a beautiful place that we have visited every year for the past 25 years. Many readers have said they like visit the island after reading the book.
What are you looking forward to in 2024?
I have recently started writing a new book and look forward to see how it unfolds. It’s always a joy to meet new characters and have them tell me their stories. I’m also super excited to be a part of the LA Book Festival in April. This is the largest book festival on the West Coast, and I’m excited to be one of the exhibitors.
