We need your help! As you might know, we're going on a book tour for Dishonestly Yours starting July 2nd, and some of the stops will have a chat before the signing. We want to know what all of you would ask us or want to know if you were there at the signing. And BONUS -- we will be answering your questions next month in July on the Extra Podcast. So if you can't make one of the stops, we're hoping to bring you a portion of the book tour experience here on Patreon 😊🎉

So give us all your Dishonestly Yours questions or any general questions you'd ask us on a tour stop! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

xoxo Krista & Becca 🍓

P.S. If you haven't already, don't forget to join the Fizzle Force FB Group! The party begins tomorrow 6/30 to celebrate Dishonestly Yours, and there'll be lots of giveaways!!

Is dishonestly yours will be a dual pov

Elizabeth

Why did you pick the names for the characters? What was your inspiration for the aesthetics of each character?

rr

I loved reading about rocky and Phoebe. It was a really nice book and i loved everything in it but i am a bit confused about the timeline and year.

Mari ❤️

How long did it take for you to write the book? Do you have the other two plotted? Did you have an outline before you started writing? What did you have to send to your publisher?

Dani P

I know you guys have answered some of these in previous podcasts, but if I was going to a signing (unfortunately there aren't anywhere near me otherwise I would) I would want to hear you guys talk about: - your different experiences between indy and trad publishing - how you came up with the story/characters for DY - what you guys think about booktok/booktube and how social media/the internet has affected you both as authors - the different experiences writing a series you know from the start will only be a trilogy vs starting a series without knowing how many books it will be

Reem

Ascribe each www character to a cobalt in terms of similarity. elaborate on ur thesis!! ❤️🍓

Ahh, the tour is going to be 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲! Thank you for doing this, and for allowing those of us that can’t attend an opportunity to ask some questions! I can’t wait for this podcast episode and I’m also super excited for the Fizzle Force party (🤎)! ——— !! 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 !! • • • • • 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: - How did you choose the emojis that would represent each character? Was there any debate about the emoji choices? Was a character almost something else? Which emoji would best represent Jake? :) - In an alternate universe (✨) where the “Webs We Weave” characters didn’t have to keep their true identities hidden from others, which reality TV shows do you think they would each flourish on? - How would the “Webs We Weave” cast react if they were stuck in an elevator?

Carrie

I have a lot of questions but don’t feel like you have to answer them all! How did you decide to keep the same couple as the focus of the trilogy instead of shifting to their siblings? Are you hoping to do a spin-off or companion novels for the side characters once the trilogy is over? How different is it getting edits back for the book from traditional publishing versus your mom editing your indie books? Do either the publisher or your mom try to sway plot lines or is it typically just pure grammar, timeline types of edits?

****SMALL SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ DY**** Answer: the timeline is supposed to be relatively ambiguous, but if you've read the Addicted series beforehand, there is a tiny, tiny clue what year this novel would take place in.

rr

Ohhh yess i just didn’t want to spoil it for others but wanted confirmation from you guys too. I think i know what year this is 😭

lex

what sparked the idea of DY? was it the result of a loose idea that you both liked and kept coming back to or did it come from a deliberate brain storm?

Teresa

Did you plot out the parents backstory first and then there kids or vice versa?

Defne

omg what year is it i want to know

Arrow

I’m so looking forward to this book! This is my top question: Dishonestly Yours is set in the HMC universe, is it possible that we might see crossovers between the series in future books?

Arrow

This one you’ve answered, but I love hearing you talk about it! Are there any movies or TV series that served as inspiration for Dishonestly Yours?

rr

SPOILER WARNING : : : : : : They mentioned fizz life and i think it came out during ricochet (if i am not wrong?) so i think the timeline is same as ricochet

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Yep! We get Rocky and Phoebe’s POVs!! And they’re both awesome… couldn’t imagine it being just Phoebe or just Rocky! You def need them both 🍓🕷️

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Oh I just realized you may not have been asking that to be answered but so they’ll tell the audience… ignore me if so - I’m obviously not thinking on all cylinders today 🫣🤣

Iliana

How did you guys decide on what type of personalities/characteristics to give Rocky and Phoebe when starting to write DY?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Some questions Patrons already know and some we don’t! - what is it about writing families of all kinds that you enjoy most? - you’ve said that this was one of your strongest openings to a series: why do you think that? What about Rocky and Phoebe’s story specifically made that you feel that way? - how long did the book take you to write? Would you consider it challenging or did it flow easily? What was one part or aspect you struggled with while writing? - besides the love story and the family aspect, what themes can we anticipate in future WWW books that carry over from DY? Any new ones you can tease? - how do the Graves and Tinrock siblings fit into the stereotypical versions of older, middle and youngest? - was the ending of the Like Us Series a motivating factor to enter a new world and start something fresh? Or were the characters just screaming at you in your head so it didn’t matter when it was, it needed to be written? - how has it felt not being able to talk about the book for the 2.5 years it’s been completed? - do characters come to you fully formed in your minds or do they evolve as the story evolves? Do you write the story to match the characters or the characters to match the story? - one of the biggest benefits of having ARCs out in the world since that’s not something you often do with your indie books? - off page question - what’s been their longest con? Most lucrative take? Do they always go for the biggest financial score? (Don’t need story specifics but maybe just time and money if you can even answer!) - was the book always titled Dishonestly Yours or did you have a different title while writing? Did the infamous line come first or the title?

Crossing my fingers for the question about spin-offs! 🤞🤎

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Oooh I like both of those questions!! I’ve tried to give emojis to all of the Addictedverse characters so knowing why the picked those specific ones would be awesome to know!! Also, wonder what the other four siblings’ and Jake’s emojis would be if they had to choose one for them 🤔

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

I'm dying dead with excitement to meet you guys on Tuesday!! I cant even imagine its going to be the best ever 😭😭 but I just wanted to ask can you bring outside books to be signed?

Illyana

You have teased on pinterest, that one of the characters in the ensamble is Gambit SOMETHING. Gambit-coded? An X-Men reader? That’s his favourite character? Gambit inspired? Or more. Can you tease a little bit about this nugget and can you tease if his love interest will be… ROGUE CODED? (Of Course my mind zero-ed in on the x-men reference, but that was obvious by now of course ;) )

Teresa

You've been known to write chunky books ( which i love), is there a page limit for books being traditionally published and are there any deleted scenes that you have for Dishonestly yours that didn't make it into the book?

Illyana

This is a very great Q, want to bolster this comment! 🔥

Illyana

I know the contractual obligation (please correct me if I’m wrong), is that it is a trilogy, however is there a wish or intention to hopefully write beyond the three books and expand it into another KBR universe like with what you did with Addicted, Calloway, Like Us and Cobalt Empire? Will we be able to get bonus chapters here on Patreon for said Webs we Weve universe or is Traditional Publishing creating a stoppage for that?

Illyana

Who’s character’s personality, Pinterest board / aesthetic, did you put the most time into creating or, are the most proud of how it’s so unique?

C✨💞

- where did you find the inspiration for this series?? - how long have the characters been with you? - what are you looking forward to writing as the series progresses? - and what does this book mean to you?? (Like it’s a completely new series outside of the addicted world so I can imagine it feels like a completely new journey, how does that feel??) Hope you girls have the best time on tour!! Hopefully see you in the future if you ever come to the UK💞💞

Deniz

-Why did you chose the name "Webs we weave" and "dishonestly yours"?

Deniz

-Will all books be about phoebe and rocky?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you all so much for these amazing questions/topics!! We can't wait to talk about them, not only on tour, but also in the Extra Podcast this month!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

That’s the plan!! They’ve said their story will be told in a trilogy 🍓🕷️
