YAY! I love General Q&A episodes so much! I have a couple hypothetical situation questions that have been sitting in my notes app that I’m excited to have the opportunity to ask! :) 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝟭. If the Famous Families were offered the chance to compete against one another on an episode of Celebrity Family Feud to raise money for charity, what would their teams look like? Since each team can only have 5 members, which family members would be cut (or potentially sent to a different team that needed more members)? Who would come out victorious? 𝟮. Which of the Famous Ones would wait in a Ticketmaster queue to get tickets to an event that they were interested in? Which would decide to forgo the queueing experience and just purchase resale or use their connections to secure tickets? (I hope this makes sense! I was thinking about this while sitting in the Ticketmaster queue attempting to snag MCR tickets, and it made that experience more bearable for me lol). 𝟯. If the Cobalt siblings were contestants on the Bachelor / Bachelorette, how far do you think each of them would make it (first night boot, hometowns, fantasy suites, etc.)? I’m curious how you think they’d do in that kind of environment! 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝟭. If you were to rank the Cobalt siblings’ handwriting from worst to best, where would each of them fall? 𝟮. What’s Tom’s favorite pizza topping? :) 𝟯. In the “Mostly Likely & Least Likely To of the Famous Ones” podcast it was mentioned that the Cobalt’s chef taught Eliot how to cook. Did Tom pick up any tips or tricks from the chef during the time that he was crushing on him? 𝟰. You’ve mentioned in the past that Tom listens to Fall Out Boy. I can’t help but wonder, when he’s listening to their music, does he skip “The Phoenix” if it comes on shuffle? (I’m forever grateful that there are no songs with my nemesis’ name in the title. So sorry, Tom. 🙂‍↕️) 𝟱. Is The Carraways’ cursed history with drummers public knowledge, or at least something that’s talked about amongst people who work in the industry? Was Alfie aware of the notoriety of the position before he auditioned for the job? 𝟲. I was wondering if Tom “knowing next to nothing” about Alfie before he joined The Carraways is a detail that might be important in the future? Or, is that just a piece of added irony to the iconic drummer plot line? To have Tom search for years for the perfect drummer, just to end up having one assigned to him that he doesn’t know much about? (I know that you can’t spoil anything, so there’s absolutely no pressure to answer this one if it’s too much! *hugs*) I understand if you don’t have time for all of these! I know that there are a lot of questions to get through! Sending hugs + good vibes, as always! :) 🤎🤎

Yasti

Yay, looking forward to this one!! 😇 ----- • What has been the highlight of your 2024, and what are you most looking forward to in 2025? 😇 • I remember when NLU was releasing, you mentioned that there was a Pinterest board you wanted to release but you said that you were waiting until NLU had been out for a little while because it would spoil NLU a bit too much. I could be wrong, but that board never got released, did it (I assumed after reading that it would be Spencer's)? Is that not the plan anymore? Just asking because I love your Pinterest updates (seriously no pressure to release anything, I just don't want to expect something that's not happening anymore) :) 🩷 • Are we getting the rest of the Jane and Thatcher wedding bonuses sometime soon? They're my favourite! • Has your writing process changed at all with Frog & Quinn, seeing as they’re being published chapter by chapter rather than the whole book at once? • Are we going to get an update on Quinn and Jesse’s relationship now that we have Quinn’s POV? Him being mean and dismissive towards Jesse was so sad and I always wondered why he did that • If the Girl Squad, Harriet, Xander, Easton, Ben, and Jesse (aka the younger characters) were individually thrown into the arena from the 74th Hunger Games (so they're not competing against each other, this is just an alternate reality where they're put in the same repeating simulation one after the other), who would be the most likely to win/survive the longest and why? 👀 Or would more than one person be crowned the winner in their respective games? • Is there anything you can tease about DM? • Will DM also get a signed preorder promo like Dishonestly Yours did, or is the regular preorder going to be the only one? Just asking so I can plan out when/where to preorder a physical copy! :) • Who do you think the most underrated character in the Addictedverse is? I've always thought it had to be Banks (😍), but I'm wondering if you have a different answer? • Since the Cobalt Empire series is only going to have one book per character, I can imagine it's going to be vastly different from all the other Addictedverse books you've written so far. What made you decide to do something different like this, particularly for the Cobalts (as opposed to other Famous Ones, for example Lunnelly who have the possibility of getting a 4th book even though the Like Us series is over)? It's so hard to imagine their larger than life POVs (esp Beckett and his LIs since there would be three POVs) and their potential stories (at least the ones hinted at throughout the Like Us series) being contained in one book after all this time. I suppose I've always associated you as the authors who write beyond the get-together-and-live-happily-ever-after stage, and this feels like a big departure from that. Of course Patreon is here for more Cobalt content but I can't imagine that would follow the same type of story arcs/structure as your books do since it's a different format, plus of course there are only going to be so many months in between releases before moving onto other things. I mean this all in the nicest possible way because I'm still excited for Burn Bright, and super proud of you about the Bloom book deal! 💙👏🏼 It's clear that you work so hard, and your books definitely should reach the bookshelves of more people. 🩷 This question more so just comes from burning curiosity (which is my fatal flaw, I fear 🙈) about your POV of big decisions like this as the authors of this universe 🥰🩷 • Are the LIs for Ben, Tom, Eliot, and Audrey going to be unconfirmed/mysteries leading up to their books? It doesn't really bother me, but I have seen what some fandoms have occasionally devolved into on social media when the ship wars were left alone too long and it is brutal out there 🥲😶 • Since Audrey is definitely part of CE, does that mean there won't be a "Girl Squad" series? • Do you think there's a possibility that you'll reveal the main character for the successive books in CE at the back of the previous book, like you did with Ben in NLU? I loved that experience a lot! Testing my self-control was fun, and it was a nice little something to look forward to to cure my sadness of NLU ending 😇

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

So excited for this one!!🩷🩷 1). How important is music in Tom’s romantic relationships? Since music is one of Tom’s great passions, is that something he would want his partner to share? And how would he deal if his partner has different taste in music than him and loves music that Tom can’t stand ? 😆 2). There’s a conversation between Donnelly and Tom in Nobody Like Us where they are bonding over their taste in music and I was wondering where do their taste overlap and where do they diverge? Also, what female musicians (or female fronted bands) do they like? :) 3). I was wondering if Donnelly and Tom ever reminisce over the time Donnelly was Tom’s bodyguard? Especially now that they’re spending a little more time together how does this impact their relationship? 4). When Tom was auditioning drummers in SLU, I was wondering if Warner was involved in the process at all? Did he get to sit in and witness the auditions, or was it mostly Tom’s decision? 5). Could you possible give us a tease on Phoenix’s appearance?? Only if it’s not too spoilery!! :) 6). What is Eliot’s dream role to land, or is there a specific theater that he would love to perform in?

a

in the ‘conner answers charlie’s call’ bonus, garrison was asking conner for advise regarding one of his brothers reaching out to him. are we ever gonna see or know what happened between garrison and his brother after that?

Maria Mik

Whats Quinns and Frogs love language??

AJ

Can we please get one detail, quirk, or trait about Winnifred and Roxanne? One that doesn’t spoil anything, like how we knew Frog loved iced coffee. Just a fun little non-impactful fact? 🙏🏼 Not to be dramatic, but I’m dying a slooow death from lack of anything about them 😩

Lauren Gibbs

If you can answer, are there any plans to continue the Webs We Weave series past the current 3 books that are contracted? I'd love to see more from this universe, y'all did an amazing job with the world building!!

Keely Melton

- is Audrey going to be in the Cobalt empire series?? - if Audrey is in the series, why wasn’t Jane included when deciding who gets what books? - is there a chance of the cobalt empire series being expanded or is each sibling just going to get one book?

AJ

How old were Jane, Eliot, and Tom during their very short stint in rhythmic ribbon dancing? I came across that while looking at old extras and it made me lol.

AJ

As of the current timeline, which Cobalts know about Charlie’s cleithrophobia?

AJ

I understand how Beckett/Leo are rivals, but how is Jo a rival to either of them? Since it’s being marketed as a rivals to rivals to rivals?

Teresa

1. How was your holidays , did you do anything different and Krista how was your honeymoon? 2. Has Maria's book been able to fit into your schedule? Is there anything you can tell us about her book. Do you have a title, something about her LI etc. 3. You revealed that Roxanne can play poker, but is she really good at poker?

AJ

Which of her siblings named each of Jane’s cats? And what was the reason they picked those names?

Keely Melton

when you released, Dishonesty Yours there was an option to preorder a signed book, do you think Destructively Mine will have the same option?

tripura

if you can answer any question about harriet, what is her favourite colour? or any small detail about her that is not, like, gonna be spoilery?

tripura

what are the cobalt brothers’ love languages?

millie (coballoway's version)

•this might be too spoilery but can you tell us which tropes each of the cobalt siblings' books will have? •can you tell us literally anything about audrey's LI? even the tiniest detail 🙏 •is phoenix st pierre a stage name? also can you give us any more information about him (e.g. age/birthday/height/personality/physical features)? •which other character's POV would you say is most similar to Ben's? •is there anything else you can tell us about the CE pub schedule? •will any of the cobalt siblings (other than jane) have kids before the end of the series? how many? and will richard/connor be used as a middle name like rose was? •what kind of music do each of the cobalt siblings listen to? was their taste influenced by their parents/other family members? •how many years (in their world) will CE take place over? •will coballoway have any super close relationships with their sons/daughters in-law? like lo and donnelly's level of closeness •this might be kinda hard to answer rn but which CE book do you think will be a fan favourite? ik charlie is really popular but do you think more people will end up loving a different sibling's book even more? •will coballoway have a 30th anniversary party and will we get to see it in the books? 💙

Hooran

Where are nona and vada staying in NYC? 👀 are they away from their parents.. or will they live in an apartment in hell's kitchen with the rest of their cousins?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I know the answer to the first one! Yes, Audrey’s in CE! She’ll be one of the six books for the six remaining Cobalt siblings! And the last one… as of right now, there is a set six book contract with Bloom so just one book per Cobalt… But we do have Patreon that will give us soooo much more information and bonus scenes after the book releases so there will be more in the CE world for sure beyond the six books

AJ

Is Tom’s band mate Warner straight/gay/bi? And is Warner considered attractive or hot? I know that’s subjective but what is the general consensus?

AJ

Do we have any birthdays, heights, middle names, or more physical descriptions for Winnifred, Roxanne, Jo, and Spencer now that you're writing BB?

AJ

What are the Hogwarts Houses for the following - Roxanne, Winnifred, Harriet, Easton, Spencer, Phoenix, Jesse?

AJ

What languages does Connor know?

tripura

does kinney still think of viv? or is that relationship not something she ponders about anymore?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

If you could be one character in the Addictedverse that we have POVs for, who would both of you want be and why? Also, for a character we don’t have POVs for and why?

tripura

of all the love interests you have written/are writing in second gen, who is/will be the most unfazed by the fame and wealth of the three families?

j 🫶

favorite moments from each addicted series couple?

tripura

what was the hardest scene to write for lilo?

Teresa

Hello, like you did in the Kotovas podcast, if you could please tease which of the Cobalts romantic relationships will go into these categories Gentle, Passionate, Obsessive, Teasing and destructive. And if it's to much of a spoiler to do all the cobalts then please can we get Ben's. Thank you ❤️

Jennifer H

How did you come up with the names of the core eight’s kids? Obviously we know Sulli was named after Sully, Xander was named by Ryke etc, but how were you able to draw inspiration having to name so many children?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I was wondering what you had to do to mentally shift between books and/or bonus scenes… I know Becca left DO for a bit to jump back into BB, so does it take a minute for the switch? Do you reread what was most recently written? Listen to music? Look at notes? And if inspiration strikes for DO for example, when in the middle of a chapter for BB, will you go back to DO for a bit or just write it down for later? Like I know you’re focused on what you’re writing but you can’t always stop when a character speaks to you so I’m curious

Jennifer H

Which book in the Addictedverse was the hardest to write and why?

Jennifer H

Did you always plan to give Daisy such a devastating storyline or did it play out that way once you started writing? Hothouse Flower and Longway Down never fail to make me cry

Jennifer H

Which member of the AddictedVerse do you think would go on Dancing With The Stars, do you think any of them would potentially win?

Teresa

1. Can you tease if Frederick ( the therapist) will make a reentry into the CE series? 2. Which Cobalt siblings Love interest are you most excited to write for ? It could be one your currently writing as well for Ben's LI.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Can you tell us how you felt when you reached a deal with Bloom? And how it came to be you signed with them for CE? Was the excitement level and relief and emotion similar to when you got word about WWW and Berkley? Bigger?

AJ

What were the 3 things Eliot has managed to lie to Connor about? (Mentioned in the Yacht meeting bonus)

AJ

On his podcast you described Tom’s romance as surprising. Can you please describe Eliot’s romance in 1-3 words? Pretty please!

AJ

Would Eliot ever pose nude for an art class? I feel like the answer is yes and it would be so funny to see you write it 🤣

Abby (Eliot’s version)

How is BB going?? You on track or ahead of your schedule? Any storylines you didn’t see coming from the planning pop up out of nowhere and just work? Anything happen yet that surprised or excited you? (Don’t need to say what, of course, but just a tease is always fun!!)

AJ

Is Eliot/Jeffra an intentional parallel to Rose/Scott or it just happened that way? I mean in the way that they both got played by a villain because they didn't think a situation through all the way.

Letícia Fernandes

You said something about how Cobalt Empire would realesed in a different format and we wouldn't have to wait six years to get the whole series, would it be like the LU series where some years more than one book were realesed?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Could we ever see a bonus or two from Rocky or Phoebe’s POVs? Another of the siblings or Jake? I think I remembering you mentioning you’d need to get the ok from Berkley to write with the WWW characters first though if you ever wanted to, correct?

Teresa

If you were to ever write a sports romance book ( besides Sulli book with the swimming) what sport would you feel most comfortable writing about ?

AJ

Eliot’s pop star date in MLU, Talia- was that just to show he runs in celebrity circles, that he is capable of pulling that caliber of women, or just to show he’s doing random and unexpected things? I feel like everyone at the dinner was maybe surprised but not shocked? Why did you decide to specifically have him bring a pop star?

AJ

Very weird question, but I have to ask because I’ve thought about it enough since that one time someone asked about Rose wearing shoes in the house…for each Cobalt, in their home, is their footwear: a. nonexistent/barefoot b. socks c. house slippers d. shoes e. any other option I missed

Natalie 👽🤍

Early in Like Us I thought Ben would be a hockey romance but in the later books it looked like he didn’t like hockey that much and wasn’t going to go pro

Teresa

Yeah I felt the same and was really excited to see that but if not him I do hope they do a sports romance one day. That would be so much fun!!

Teresa

1. For the deluxe edition of Burn Bright do you know how long it will be available for pre-order? 2. Is Ben someone who would be in a club or college party on a dance floor all night ? Does he drink when going to clubs?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

How did the “letting the fandom give ship names to the couples” come about? Do you make still make one up in your heads for the couple and see if we match it or come up with a different one? Has there ever been one or two you liked more than the others? Kinda like you saw it and went “damn that’s perfect”, since I know you like them all!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Let’s talk Pinterest… I know you find a person as close to image you have for the characters in your heads, but do you still see who you first imagined or has it shifted to some of the Pinterest photos? Do you have a couple examples that are nearly “perfect” in likeness?

AJ

For the Cobalt siblings: - who are their celebrity crushes? - who is the most well-read to least read? - who is the most introverted to extroverted? - who lost their virginity at the youngest age? - who is best to worst for academic performance in school? - who is most sensitive to thickest skinned? - I know it isn't always the same, but what is the most common seating arrangement/chart for Wednesday Night Dinner?

Teresa

Hi, you are currently writing Finns story and Burn Bright. Both characters Quinn and Ben are more known as the golden retrievers of the addictedverse. Is it easier to go back and forth between those two POVs , is it the same as any other POV or a little harder . What would you say are the major differences between them and some similarities between them.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Has Bloom mentioned the possibility of a tour for BB like Berkley did with DY??? Cause that’d be amazing 😍💙🦋 And how do conventions work? Do you apply to be a part of them or are you approached due to publishing/genre? Are there ones you’re interested in attending this coming year?

Miriam

Random one here: Are Connor and Charlie banned from casinos because their IQ is widely known and the casinos would assume they’d count cards?

Sascha

this is so random so forgive me 😭 in chapter 2 of unlucky like us lo talks about how he has “sources” that told him how close donnelly and farrow actually are, did lo end up calling oscar?? if so bonus scene please hahaha

Teresa

For the Trad publishing in the Webs we weave series ,you were not allowed to release a book 4 months before and 4 months after release. Will that be the same for Burn Bright and if not what is the release window they have given you for the CE series?

AJ

Obviously subject to change as you start writing, but whose book do you anticipate being the angstiest and fluffiest in CE? Will CE books be overlapping timelines or more likely each book will pick up where the previous one left off?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

YES!! Did he end up seeing them? Talking to them? I always love how Garrison is like “they don’t matter cause I have brothers” in Lo, Ryke and Connor!! But I’d love to know the status… like do they know Vada? Makes me wonder if Sulli and Nona know Sara, Ryke’s mom too!!

AJ

Going into BB, what is the public’s perception of each brother, regardless of if it’s accurate? Ex. like Beckett is seen as a Heartbreaker, Eliot was called a rake in NLU.

Hannah Smith

can you tell us anything about roxanne and charlie’s relationship?

Sasha

This is a bit specific, but in light of CE dropping in sept, I was wondering if Charlie ever ended up going to see Frederick? And if he works with him now? Or does Connor still somewhat act as Charlie’s “therapist”?

AJ

Good question. My guess would be Winnifred since she’s at least a millionaire herself!

a

as yall probably know/ figured out, most of the readers are waiting for charlie’s book. whats your feeling toward where his book will fall in the series and if the readers will like it? also do you feel some type of pressure to write his book in a specific way?

a

what is the meadow fam relationship like with sara hale?

Yasti

Not too sure about the intricacies of the US legal system, but would banning them before they even set foot in the casino not be a form of unfair discrimination? 🧐

Yasti

I actually think about this so often, it's killing me that Vada's book/s are probably so far away!

a

any chance of a crossover between the webs we weave series addicted/like us universe?

a

for cobalt empire, are we gonna get 2 books a year? like starting in 2026?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

They set it up sooo well if they ever wanted to!! Rocky and Phoebe are only a couple years older than the Core 6 so you never know!! There’s a little thing in DM that made me think they soooo could and made me have ALLLL the questions and thoughts when I read it 🤯🤭🤔

Abby (Eliot’s version)

It you’re caught counting cards or have a system in place that isn’t just straight gambling and they catch you, you can be banned from casinos because you always win which isn’t good for the “house”… Connor and Charlie could I just don’t know if they would 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I could even wrong lol

Abby (Eliot’s version)

YES!! Been dying to know if Ryke seeing her randomly in Addicted carried over to his kids knowing/having a relationship with her!

AJ

What is Winnifred’s middle name? I think it’d be cute if in public/prof settings she ends up going by her full name (first, middle, last) because then she’d have that in common with…other characters

AJ

Since we’re moving forward in the timeline and moving away from certain POVs in bonus content, can you briefly tell us what were Cobolloway’s thoughts and opinions on their children participating in the fizzle race? Did they also think Charlie was likely going to win? Did they hope certain ones wouldn’t? Etc? I understand if you think this would be better written out, but is that even a possibility with the shift in bonus content?

AJ

And same with any other past things you’ve previously said would be better answered by writing them out. Will you possibly start answering some since it’s not looking like those topics will be written about in bonus for the foreseeable future?

AJ

How would Connor describe each of his sons in 2-3 words (as of the start of the BB timeline)?

Teresa

1. Do you have any plans and if not would you ever write a teacher /student romance? 2. How is Mr. Frodo, has he gone back to normal since the move? How does he treat your husband's? 3.Will we find out in Burn Bright why Easton doesn't like Ben?

Teresa

What are 3 of your favorite pins from Harriet's board?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

How often do you guys talk when you’re writing now that you live apart? Do you call or text when an idea pops up that you love and are going to write or do you leave it for the other to just read when it’s their turn to have the book/bonus? How often do you surprise the other with a storyline or plot point you came up with, or is that always talked about beforehand?

Teresa

Any chance we will see any side characters like Phoenix St Pierre, Winnifred, Kotovas, Harriet etc show up in Finns (Frog and Quinns) story ?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

When we get the CE POVs, is it still the plan to possibly write them in the LU timeline in bonuses eventually? Like, for example, Beckett during SLU or Charlie during CLU? Or would it solely be in the CE timeline? And vice versa, could we still get the POVs of the LU characters in bonuses in CE?

Teresa

If you can answer, will you be releasing the blurb for Burn Bright before Destructively mine releases or after it releases?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I think I just don’t want to lose Marrow, Lunnelly, etc. POVs which is why I asked!!

esra ♡

has spencer’s birthdate been decided yet, or is it still in the works?

pink

anything possible about charlie or roxanne

Maxi

Does Eliot like Oscar Wilde? (I am currently reading 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and the humour reminds me SO much of him) and maybe as an inspiration for an extra like the cellphone snooping, I would LOVE a reading list of all the like us/addicted characters, especially the Cobalts. As I am actually not a big romance reader (except yours oc) the random mentions of other literature and learning what these characters like to read themselves is one of my absolute fav things about your books❤ (lots of love to you for creating characters that I have to think of even when I am reading other books)

.

Idk if you will answer this but does Kinney still think about viv? Or she got over her.

Maxi

Also have you ever read 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes? This book is so Charlie-coded for me

.

Are you still planning to write xander’s graduation scene and if yes, is it gonna be before burn bright or after?

Teresa

Theyre' s still the book Dangerously ours with the Trad restrictions of 4 months before and 4 months after. So unless they publish it at the end of 2025. It would be tight to squeeze in another book. I could be wrong though and they figured out a way 🤞

tripura

ooh, makes sense!! it would be interesting to see her unfazed acceptance in her POV of how the three families operate.

AJ

I believe they’ve said on a podcast Wilde is one of his favorite playwrights. And that’s a great idea for an extra! I’d love to see the Cobalt fam reading list.

AJ

In the guys lunch bonus, Connor said “if any of my sons would’ve had feelings for Vada, it would’ve been Eliot, and to put it in terms you’ll understand, that ship has figuratively sunk a while ago.” Can you tell us why Connor thought it would’ve been Eliot, and why the ship had sailed on that?

AJ

Do they drive or fly to the lake house? Seems like quite a road trip if they only drive, but I imagine flights can be traced. Does Samantha go to the lake house or does she spend holidays alone?

Maxi

Oh!! Thank you so much for your answer. It makes so much sense. I can literally hear Eliot in every sentence.

.

Are xander and easton gonna be the only one living in that apartment or someone else will live with them? Like vada or Winona

esra ♡

last year, you mentioned that xander’s book might come in the midst of the cobalt empire series. now that the series has a publishing deal, is that still the plan, or has it changed? and how many books are planned for xander’s story?

Teresa

Will we see more in Finns story, Quinns relationship with his parents ive been wanting to see more of the families of these side characters and now that he is a main . I hope we see more of Quinns relationship and maybe even more glimpses of his sibling relationships with the parents.

esra ♡

will kinney’s love interest appear in cobalt empire, or have we already met her?

Teresa

This might have been talked about before but i dont remember, at the cobalt apartment in NY who cooks or do they have a personal chef or always order out? I feel like it was mentioned that Beckett or either Ben know how to make atleast the basics like an omelet or something but I might have just made that up in my head 🤣🤣

AJ

How do you imagine the companies ranking from most to least profitable - Hale Co., Cobalt Inc., Rochester Industries, Fizzle?

AJ

For each HMC 2nd gen character (or just Cobalt siblings if that's too many) - what talk show, podcast, etc. could you most see each of them on? I’m thinking along the lines of late night shows, hot ones, chicken shop date, SNL, etc.

Letícia Fernandes

Also will the books be bigger, seeing as that each sibling will have only one book? Will there be bonus like de LU timeline?

.

Which hale kid would stay with their parents after settling down? Like it’s unlikely and everyone will probably move out but if you have to pick one out of all four. Which kid do you think will live with their partner and kids in hale house along with lilo.

.

Do you ever think about writing in addicted og timeline 😞

Teresa

EDIT: If you press on the 3 dots in your comment, an option will pop up where you can edit and add your additional questions

Teresa

Have you chosen a birthdate or Zodiac sign for Winnifred Rochester and can you reveal it ?

esra ♡

if it’s not too much of a spoiler, could you please share with us what major spencer is going for in college?

shi luvs st.cobalt

Such great questions! I agree about Banks being underrated, I adore him! :’) 🤎🤎🤎

Teresa

Ive been waiting YEARS on bated breath for them to officially announce Roxannes eye color 😅. One day they will suprise me🤣

Teresa

Once the CE series is completed will you be allowed to publish more books with the main couples from CE. I know you can do bonus on patreon but I mean full novels outside of the 6 book series once completed?

Teresa

Don't forget about Calloway Couture ❤️

Lauren Norah

what are some of your favorite scenes to write?? least favorite??

AJ

In a podcast it was said Rose would guess Eliot would be the most likely to have his own empire of kids. But then it’s been repeatedly said he’d be the last person trusted to babysit. For me these seem like conflicting opinions. What is Rose’s reasoning for thinking that when Eliot has repeatedly been presented as irresponsible?

j 🫶

super random question, but ever since having read the addicted series, i’ve become super fascinated with connor, specifically! what would he think about roller coasters/thrill rides? would he ride them or would he say that he knows too well the risks of them?

anna

Will we see any side characters (famous ones and non-famous ones) in the QuinnFrog novella? And adding onto this question, would you guys maybe “drop hints” on some future couples too? How often will we see non-Cobalts who are currently in New York during Cobalt Empire (Xander, Easton, Winona, Vada, etc)? We’ve heard a lot about the Rochesters throughout Like Us and have met a few of them like Will and Wyatt. Will we see any others during Cobalt Empire in a more prominent role (Winnifred, etc)? Since RJ and Roxanne are both in New York, is there a possibility of seeing their parents + other CIF characters in Cobalt Empire at some point?

anna

Sorry, not sure if any of these have been answered already. So excited for this podcast! 🤗🤗

AJ

I just assumed CC, S&S, and Halway would be the least lucrative ones of the bunch.

AJ

What are Winnifred and Will's parents' names?

a

after you finish writing Quinn and Frog on patreon, will you release it as a book?

a

is there a plan for the aerial ethereal universe to be extended with the introduction of rj and roxanne?

a

do you plan to introduce new love interests within CE (even for the other famous ones)? or will their love interests come when their respective books come?

a

do you guys plan to introduce more characters that aren’t potential love interests within CE? (like gabe, o’malley etc.)

a

are there any more storylines you’ve added in last minute or dropped that you could give us insight about and why you chose to do so?

L

If both of you could rank the top 3 Cobalt Empire series books, who are the top 3 each you are most excited to write about? and if you don’t think it is too spoilery, do you each have a reason for these top three? The answer could be as vague as just their tropes, their love interest or even the storyline or setting planned out for their books. My top three I’m most excited to read would be: 1. Charlie (DUH!) 2. Tom and 3. Audrey 💕

Teresa

Do have a release date for Dangerously Ours?

AJ

Would Rose possibly ever have a moment similar to Katarina, where she is initially almost hostile to one of her kids’ partner(s)? I know she makes efforts to never be like her or Connors mom, but she does still have a hot temper and is quick to snap in response to some people. Or do you think she’s grown so much that she would never let herself do that to someone her child brings home, even if she didn't like them?

esra ♡

could you share some fun non-spoilery facts about spencer sadler? like her birthdate, eye color, height, or any behind-the-scenes details about her character that we don’t know yet. and when will her pinterest board be released?

m

Is Winnifred close to any of her brothers besides Will? And if so who? And is she close to her parents?

m

Does having a Pinterest board equate to being a love interest or having a book? Because Gabe, Maria, poppysam etc don’t have books but they have boards?

m

How important is Tom and RJ sleeping together in the bonus scene relevant to CE? I’m assuming he’s going to be in it but does that mean love interest or just friendship?

Hayat

What’s a backstory you guys have discussed that you find really interesting but just never found a reason to write it in the books? This doesn’t necessarily have to be about a character for example the podcast where you guys came up with the Ben hat concept was super interesting

m

When all The Hale kids have their future love interests who do you think will be Loren and Lily’s favourites? Or will it always be Donnelly and Farrow respectively?

.

Do you have any date in mind when you will confirm all the love interest of these famous ones kids? And specifically ben’s

.

We all are almost certain about most of the new couples in upcoming series? do you think we are lying to ourselves or we are onto something

Teresa

In the All about Kotovas podcast you said you hoped to rebrand with a third book attached for the Circus is Family series. Due to this new contract that you have with Bloom were you able to fit in your schedule this rebrand and third book in between releasing books for the Cobalt Empire or it's more likely we won't be able to read the third book until you finish the CE series ?

m

Regarding the pink haired girl from unlucky was her hair actually pink or was it a wig? And if it was a wig who was she dressed as? Starfire? Would that make her a DC fan? (I’m a DC fan myself ❤️)

m

If you've seen the oc do you ever see Xander and his love interest playing out the scene in show when Summer dressed up as Wonder Woman for Seth? (Maybe a certain pink haired girl from unlucky?🫣)

m

As we saw in Infamous Winnifred said she was going to Columbia. Is that still true? And can we know anymore of her personality besides the introvertedness?

a

is there any potential for storylines to be changed for the famous ones or have you got all their stories set in stone?

a

do you think lily and lo will have bonds with xander and kinneys love interests like lily does with farrow and lo does with donnelly?

anna

I don't think I've seen that show but Xander and his love interest both being into cosplay and dressing up as each other's favorite characters is so cute! 🥰

anna

I know that Xander doesn’t have a confirmed love interest yet but I was wondering if sharing interests is important for him and his story (stuff like LOTR, comics, LARPing, going to fan cons, other geeky interests 🤗). They obviously wouldn’t have to enjoy the exact same things and be in all the same fandoms, but how likely is it that Xander and his love interest will do those kinds of things together?

m

what is the probability of getting joleo's meet-cute in burn bright? Also what are jo and leo's types or preferences, physically and/or personality wise

m

Righttt thank you you’re so sweet 😭❤️

Teresa

Assuming you've plotted out the entire series, as a small tease which book number from the Cobalt Empire series would you say has the most angst?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Since we’re entering the Cobalt era, can you give us one adjective that describes each member of the Empire in the timeline? It can be just from BB or in general for CE!

Teresa

As you continue writing in children for the 3rd generation in the addictedverse ( Like Maeve, Seven ,Elara etc) , is it getting harder to pick out good names that fit with each couple ? Or do you have a list of names that you love already and are waiting to see whose child fits the name better.

a

do you guys ever get ideas and inspo from comments in the patreon? i would LOVE to know if we help you guys even if it’s just a little bit

Shelby Keating

When will you confirm Ben’s LI (i mean, I think we all have our collective assumption but you’ve never said for sure that I know of) and when can we expect the BB blurb?

Shelby Keating

Will you be able to tell us the order of the books in CE (like, who’s book it is) since its all plotted out or not until they are actually being released?

Shelby Keating

Can you do the Cobalt phone snoop as a teaser for the series or are you planning on waiting until later in the series?

Shelby Keating

Since NLU was marketed as the final Like Us book does this mean frog and quinns story isn’t going to be “Bodyguards Like Us” and a part of that series? Will it be a stand alone/duet/trilogy separate from any series (I assume it’s one book but never know for sure lol)

Abby (Eliot’s version)

They decided to change the name of the book to something else because it’s kind of an “in between” book for LU and CE… it’ll be exiting to see what they end up naming it!! I’m also pretty sure it’s just going to be one book for Finn but they haven’t confirmed… so you never know, they have more to tell about them one day!!

Teresa

1. Hello, will you be doing a tropes reveal for Burn Bright? I see that some of the authors under Bloom have done it, but I don't know if it's mandatory to do that or not. 2. When can you start heavily promoting BB ?Before Destructively mine releases or after? 3. Now that you are in Ben's POV are there any scenes you would want to write from the Like us series timeline from his perspective?

Teresa

Yes it's been a year. This is no longer soon 😅

Alex Di

Are we going to learn the backstory between Ben and Vada in 'Burn Bright'?

AJ

Do you see all emails, DMs, chats, etc. on all your social medias (even if you don’t respond), or are there certain things you just never check/look into for whatever reason?

m

Do Ben and Vada see themselves as cousins even though they have no blood relation or is it romantic?

Ang💙 (Oliveira’s Version)

Is Michael Moretti involved in Maeve and Blue’s lives? Is he in close contact with Thatcher and Banks? What is his relationship with Jane and Sulli and Rose, Connor, Daisy, and Ryke? Is Jesse going to be in BB and is he friends with Ben? Is there absolutely anything you can tell us abt Jesse!!!!!!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

What’s one song that describes Ben and his LI? Or Ben by himself at the end of NLU or start of BB? (Of course it doesn’t need to be the main song that’s always at the top of the playlist, or even on the playlist at all! Just a small teaser 😉)

Teresa

Have you seen that some readers have shipped Audrey and Phoenix St Pierre together. Not asking if it's true. I was curious if you've seen it.

mara

What is the age gap between charlie and roxanne?

mara

can we have a run down of the confirmed future couples?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

About 3.5 years… Charlie was born 9/19/2017 and Roxanne was born 2/28/2021!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Really only Charlie and Roxanne! They often refer to the family tree on their website and it’s not a confirmed couple until they tell us and it’s on there… Beckett, Jo, and Leo are almost confirmed but not quite (they’ve said it would take something big for them not to be together but they didn’t 100% confirm it)… only Roxanne is on the family tree now! Everyone else is up in the air!! Although there are indications at a couple of the others ones but nothing concrete yet!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I have wondered what they think about this if they have seen it! Especially if it’s true lol

Shelby Keating

Do we know the tropes for burn bright yet? If so what are they? If not, do you know when we will find out?

Shelby Keating

Or if not romantic is it platonic but they acknowledge they arent blood cousins??

Shelby Keating

I understand not wanting to confirm LI too soon, but since ben is the next book and you’ve already started it, I’m just curious what’s been holding you back from confirming Ben’s LI?

Shelby Keating

I love these! Also I’d LOVE to see them compete on family fued lmao, that’d be so funny. Like Cobalt vs Hale or something, and connor & charlie refusing to follow the rules and say “good answer” if its a shitty one lmao. Lo and Connor flirting from opposite teams lmaoo, rose glaring at Loren (I just have to say Loren when referring to him and rose interacting lol)

Shelby Keating

Around when do you think we’ll fet the jane and thatcher wedding bonuses?

Shelby Keating

Obviously it won’t be the same as or as detailed as a bonus scene but since you no longer plan to do bonus scenes in the older timelines, would you be willing to do a podcast where you answer questions you previously said would be a bonus scene but no likely wont?

Teresa

So true it's been a year now since NLU was released and they said they would reveal it soon a couple times but they change they're minds and push it back . It did make me wonder if something was going on. It could be because they wanted to announce the deal first maybe with Bloom. But that's out now so I don't know what the reason could be now for not revealing it in like the next month or so 🤔. It's definitely not fun anymore waiting after all this time.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

My thoughts? Beginning of 2026, like Feb… that would allow them to publish the second CE book in July and possibly, maybe, another one at the end of the year as well (this is me trying to manifest such things, not me knowing a single thing about anything 😂)

Teresa

My thoughts were similar either at the very end of 2025 or very beginning of 2026 if they want to release 2 cobalt books a year.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

They can’t release DO until after Jan 2 at the earliest with the four month thing… as far as I know ofc

Teresa

Oh right! I forgot about the 4 month restrictions 😪 topnof the year 2026 it is 🤣 8 month interval on total is still so crazy to me!

Teresa

I gave you wrong info. I edited it to show how you correctly edit your comment. Sorry about that 😅

Lola rose

what is one song for each cobalt that describes them and/or how they are doing in burn bright? (i understand if that’s in spoiler territory though, i’m just so excited for the cobalts!!).

esra ♡

is the image that spells ‘love’ in sign language on xander’s pinterest board an easter egg for his romance? i’m curious because it’s the first time you’ve pinned something love-related there

Abby (Eliot’s version)

If you were forced to write in only one male and one female POV for all future bonuses, which two characters would you individually choose and why? (It could be two guys or two girls if either of you want!)

AJ

Which pin on Eliot’s Pinterest board do you feel is the best representation of him? Or maybe just your favorite?

AJ

Does Tom know about Jeffra having Eliot’s nudes, or is it just Luna who knows? It seemed like in NLU Eliot waited for Tom to not be around before telling Luna which makes me think he doesn’t.

AJ

What was Tom’s reaction the day after his birthday, when Eliot told him about the night before where he revealed his Leo crush?

Teresa

If your still doing a 4th Lunnelly book will that be released in between releases of the CE series or after the CE series is finished? Do you have a title for it yet?

AJ

A fourth Lunelly book when we only get one per Cobalt brother is gonna be my 13th reason

shi luvs st.cobalt

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re also interested in these sorts of scenarios as well! :’) 🤎🤎

shi luvs st.cobalt

In regards to Phoenix’s age, we know that he has to 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 be around the same age as Tom (21) because he auditioned for The Carraways in Sinful Like Us (🥁), and we know that Tom’s label wasn’t interested in having minors in the band. So, Phoenix would’ve had to have been at least 18 when he auditioned in SLU (2038), and it’s been around 3 years since then (assuming that BB begins around the same time that NLU ends — 2041) which would put Phoenix at around 21 if he was 18 when he auditioned (or 20, if his birthday is between June + December). But it’s also possible that he’s older than that & was older than 18 when he auditioned! :) 🐦‍🔥🥁

Teresa

When did you know you wanted Frog and Quinn together? Is there a certain book that you saw the chemistry between them ? Did you have another LI in mind for Quinn ?

AJ

Can you please tell us what Eliot does all day since he’s not acting? Before NLU you teased us saying we’d see once the book came out. We now know he was in the Fizzle race. However, I refuse to believe that took up any significant amount of his days for like 6 months since Luna, Ben, and Xander also went to school full time while participating in the competition. It doesn’t have to be a detailed itinerary, just general idea of his day.

Kelsey🤍

Will Frog and Quinn’s book be finished before the release of Burn Bright

Sarah

Relistening to LWD, if you could be in Rose’s POV for Sully’s birth, how would you have written it?

Sarah

Will Nona, Vada, and Jesse be attending Manhattan Valley and if so will we get some small interactions with them as side characters in Burn Bright?

Sarah

What made you chose to title the Cobalt books instead of Just Cobalt Empire Book 1?

Teresa

Nona and Vada are seniors in highschool but they are going to school in NY, so we will see them in the CE series

Maria Mik

Does Quinn have any other tattoos apart from the SFO one??

JT

If given the opportunity of an adaptation for the addicted verse, would you guys take it or see it happen in the future ? If yes who would you guys cast or would love to see play the characters you created? (Example and I think would really fit the character is Spanish American actress Nicole Wallace as Lily Calloway as I see so much similarities between them from looks to also personality 🤭❤️)

JT

Would the second cobalt empire book be announced the same way burn bright was? Would us the readers have to wait till the end of burn bright to know who is next or will it be announced before?

Teresa

In Headstrong Like Us Donnelly mentioned that he was in a group home for a month before his grandmother took him in. His voice cracked when he spoke about it but I don't believe we ever learned what happened to him. This was in chapter 12 page 148 in ebook. Can you tell us what happened or if this is something that will be revealed in the 4th Lunnelly book please let me know. Thank you😀

Kelsey🤍

SFO hogwarts houses?

JT

When should we expect the love interests for cobalt empire to be revealed or is it a surprise? Also will all of them be announced in the same time or would each love interest be revealed individually on their own?

Lauren

Do Oscar and Jack plan to have any kids?

AJ

You’ve said in the past that Tom has the least amount of fame of the Cobalts, despite him wanting it the most. Does that mean even Ben has more fame? If so, how is Ben more famous when we don’t really see him on page being in the public like that or having a huge social media presence? And I know Audrey is big on social media, but would you say she also has more popularity than Tom?

L

We have a pretty good idea about the love interest for each cobalt even though it’s not really “confirmed” except for Tom, I know it would be too spoilery to drop names or anything too big but have we met or at least heard of Tom’s LI in any of the books or bonus scenes thus far or is he an entirely new character?

AJ

This might be a big ask butttt…in his mind, what type of person does Charlie see his brothers ending up with? Obviously it doesn’t have to match who they actually end up with. Just very curious his thoughts on this

L

RJ Kotova has such a great faceclaim—he looks exactly how I imagined him (Tom definitely has good taste) It got me wondering, how challenging is it for you both to find the perfect faceclaims for all your characters? Are there any instances where you couldn’t quite find a face that matched the character as you envisioned them? Hope we see more of RJ throughout the Cobalt Series (hopefully as a love interest 🤭)

ann.nonymous

How far along are you guys for writing Frog and Quinn’s story? Have you guys written the entire story yet or are the chapters written each month? And if it is already written, how long is their story? Can’t wait for more!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Do you already have an idea of each Cobalt sibling’s “voice” or does that come when you sit down to write it? Since Krista usually starts the book, does she come up with it or is it established beforehand? Basically, do you already know how they’ll “sound”, word choices, how they’ll think/speak, etc. before you start writing with them or is it more fluid as you go?

Shelby Keating

Will we ever know for sure whether or not connor knows jane and thatcher had sex in his limo? It’s hinted that he might but never confirmed.

Teresa

Which of the Calloway sisters would get along most with Roxanne?

Teresa

1. Does Dmitri or Camilla from CIF know how to cook? 2. How is Frog with babies? Did she get to hold Seven? 3. Is Harriet someone who if at a club would be out on the floor dancing or sitting at the bar and nursing a drink and kind of just people watching or maybe she's alittle of both?

Teresa

Can you tell us something about Beth Anne and her relationship with Roxanne ?

Carrie

Just curious, if you guys are writing CE and realize a couple HAS to have more than one book is that something flexible with Bloom to handle? Like could you expand the series, or change who the books are for to make room for just one couple to have a second book (like if absolutely necessary, changing it so Audrey’s book goes from CE to the girl squads series?). Just curious about how flexible it is with Bloom!

Teresa

We've been told that Tom has alot of crushes and we dont know them all. Is one of his crushes his LI?

L

Without being too spoilery, In the terms of QuinnFrogs Book, will anything major whether it be plot, characters, Love Interests be carried over into the Cobalt Empire Series and other future books or is it safe to say a lot of that won’t be seen on page till the Empire Books? Also will we be seeing more Highveira in QuinnFrog Book? 🫶

Carrie

Can you guys give any details about the Bloom contract and how it came about? Did you guys reach out to them or did they reach out to you? Did you have to pitch the overarching plots to them and get agreement on it before signing? Were there any weird clauses in the contract that Bloom proposed that is different from the previous traditional publishing contracts you had? Or any new clauses you guys added that’s different from other contracts because of what you have learned from past experiences? I’m just always so curious how this side of the business plays out for authors, but if it is too invasive please feel free to skip!

Lauren

What was the reason Oscar never wanted Donnelly to tattoo him?

Bella Graham

What was it like to write Addicted to You and Ricochet? A lot of Addicted fans talk about how it requires a different headspace to read ATY and Ricochet than the rest of the book because they were at the height of their addictions and the books were very heavy. What were your headspaces like when writing those books?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

What are a few books coming out this year that you’re looking forward to reading? (I just started my quick reread of the Empyrean series since Onyx Storm is coming out on the Jan 21st which made me curious!)

Teresa

What would you say while currently writing Burn Bright, you have enjoyed the most/surprised you while writing so far. It could be just seeing Ben's POV in general and having his voice, the dynamic between the brothers, the Love interest POV, etc.

Dani P

In Fuel the Fire, Connor actually mentions that Rose will wear socks or clean heals in the house (he mentions it because she is barefoot in the scene)

Dani P

Not sure if anyone else's preference has been mentioned

Abby (Eliot’s version)

For announcements about CE, do you have to confer with Bloom first? Not general promotion of the series, but things like teasers, LI reveals, blurbs, etc., or can you do that whenever you want and just give them a heads up so they can echo the info to promote/announce with you? If you do have to get the go-ahead first for that, Bloom doesn’t have to ok bonus content/scenes on here though, right? Because you own all the rights to the characters except publishing for CE…

Abby (Eliot’s version)

So I know you’re promoting CE as a stand-alone series for new readers so they don’t have to read 25 prior books to know what’s happening… but have you decided if you’ll still partially promote it as part of the Addictedverse or will it simply be Cobalt Empire and people can discover the prior series on their own?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

How does it feel to basically be “starting from scratch” once again in an already existing, very developed and extensive, universe? I know you did it with LU so it’s familiar territory, but is it frustrating? Exciting? What’s been the hardest part been about striking a balance between enticing new readers and giving your existing fans the little things we crave to know from all the books we’ve devoured? What’s been the best part about starting over?

Hayat

How close to BB release would you guys consider putting out a bonus scene in Ben’s pov? Or would you both prefer to wait to hear Ben and his li’s voice for the first time in BB and not bonus?

Kelsey🤍

Who would like Wicked?

L

Are there any other bodyguards in the Like Us series, outside of the main group, that you would have liked to see more of their story explored?

Carrie

Do you have deadlines for burn bright since it will release September 2? I know with WWW you had to have stuff done like a year in advance but you are currently writing burn bright so wasn’t sure if you had a strict deadline coming up it had to be finished by? Hope this question doesn’t cause stress!

Teresa

Do you know what all the careers/jobs will be for the second generation specifically the younger kids Xander, Vada, Winona etc?

L

As we approach the release of the Cobalt Empire series, readers will be introduced to a whole new set of characters. How do you, as authors, decide which characters receive Pinterest boards (especially those shared with readers)? In the past, we’ve seen that not only love interests and main characters get boards—like Gabe, who had one despite not being a major character in the Like Us series. Will you continue this approach of regular appearing characters getting boards (like potentially Warner etc) or as the Cobalt Empire series draws closer and your schedules get busier, will the boards be reserved mainly for love interests and main characters?

L

One of my favorite dynamics in the books is the relationship between cousins, which I find just as compelling as the sibling relationships. For example, the bond between Tom and Kinney really stands out to me 🫶. While it’s clear that the sibling dynamics will be a major focus throughout The Cobalt Empire series, I’m curious—can we expect to see the cousin relationships grow and evolve as well? Just as I mention Tom and Kinney, is there any other cousin relationship in the series you two are excited to explore more in-depth now that we will have the Cobalt POV’s?

Lauren Norah

This is a very specific question, but i’ve always thought that you can tell a lot about a person from how they prefer their steak/eggs cooked. How do the core 6/ like us characters like their steak cooked? (medium rare, well done, etc.) Also eggs lol 😂 (sunny-side up, scrambled, etc.)

Teresa

Can you tell us or give us a little tease on what Ben's thoughts were during the first meeting of Harriet with Xander and Luna or at the school in the science lab with Harriet and finding out about the hammerhead shark?

Teresa

What is Ben's favorite subject while in college and if that's to much of a spoiler what was his favorite subject in highschool?

Teresa

If you were to ever join with a bunch of authors to make an anthology book, who would you do a novella for ? It could be for a new couple or an already existing couple.

Hayat

If you guys tour WWW #2 like the first book when would you be able to announce it?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Do you expect Finn’s book to turn out more like a longer novella or a full-length novel? Also, have you written ahead of what you’ve given us already or do you just do the two a month then move onto something else?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

What’s the biggest struggle with writing 2 books at the same time? (technically three since you have DO too…) What’s the key to focusing on what you’re specifically working on? Is it hard to do separate timelines in the same universe? How do you keep all four/six POVs separate and remember where you’re going with their specific story? Do you ever mix anything up accidentally or just completely blank on where you left off?

Teresa

There are alot of similarities between Quinn and Ben . What are some similarities or differences between Frog and Ben's love interests that you can tease?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Have you been able to come up with a few titles that you like for Finn’s book or are you waiting to write more with them before even thinking about it? (you don’t need to share the title ofc it you have it and want to save it for later 😉)

Abby (Eliot’s version)

For each of you, what are two things you LOVE about being romance authors? Besides being a part of the community, what makes you pick up a romance novel and want to read it? What is it about the romance genre that you think makes it so popular amongst readers?

Lauren Johnson

Does Beckett know about Roxanne’s family being in aerial ethereal? I was just curious about whether this was something she usually shared with people, or if he knows her well enough to know this?✨

Defne

In one bonus seance tom was talking about he askes some things about guys to conner so what are does things. 💓

Maxi

Have you ever been scared to run out of ideas for books or not getting one done? You told us about changing a lot of books drastically before (DM for example) but has there ever been a real fear just not finding the right tone at all or is it more of an 'okay we just need more time thing'? I always have so much admiration in me for people with creative careers. It takes so much bravery to really rely on your own talents like that and you spoil us with SO much content.

violet

will we still see quinn & frog in the CE series?

Bussoloti's

Which couple from the addicted series/like us series took the most and the less amount of time to fart in front of each other? (You know the important things in all relationships)

Bussoloti's

What are the favorite colors of Quinn, Frog, Jesse, Easton and Joana?

Teresa

Who of the cobalt siblings would be the first to volunteer to babysit Maeve?

Teresa

Anything about Ben's love interest that you can tell us. Maybe even a line from Burn Bright that she said that represents her or a Calloway sisters that she is closer in personality with etc.

Teresa

There was once talk about how you guys might do like a Banks situation like how in Sinful Like us. Is that something you've thought more about doing or you have made up your mind on if something like that would be included?

Shelby Keating

Vada living with Easton… now THAT could be veryyy interesting lmao

Shelby Keating

See… my initial thought about Samantha at the lake house was “gross” and it still is, but the way you said “or does she spend holidays alone” made me sad for her. Until of course I remembered who she is and what shes done, now the only potentially sad part is how her daughters may feel guilty about letting her be alone but… she deserves it. I feel like if it was her that died and greg was alive he might have been invited to the lake house, but I hope samantha doesn’t even know where it is.

Shelby Keating

I’m curious too, did he see something deeper or is it just because Eliot is Eliot and loves drama and theater and putting on a show so he would be the most likely to be interested in her because it would be exciting? I can’t think of why else… but I think we’ve also barely scratched the surface of those two characters anyways so it’s hard to see what Connor may have seen.

Shelby Keating

I can imagine her just living her life then she hears the song and it all comes rushing back… hopefully she’s past the point of destruction though

Shelby Keating

Now I’m picturing frog and roxanne interacting, I’d love to see that!

Shelby Keating

I’m guessing Easton doesn’t like Ben out of loyalty to Xander in that feud. Plus Ben is the one who showed Moffy and Charlie the texts about the pills that led to them showing up at Eastons door. Also he went to dalton so he may be aware of ben getting pills for the t-bags (or maybe just one of them, can’t remember) and maybe he hates the hypocrisy of cutting of Xander for giving Easton pills cause it’s morally wrong (when Easton needed them) just for Ben to turn around and supply drugs to a guy who doesn’t need them and is just going to abuse them.

Lauren Johnson

In the Rainbow Brigade favor bonus Oscar says he has an idea who RJ’s cousin is based on various context clues. What were the clues? If it was because he spoke Russian, how did Oscar also know that Roxanne spoke Russian?🦋

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're now prepping this podcast!! Thank you all for the amazing questions. We'll likely be splitting these into two podcast (one for the Extra pod) so we can answer as many as possible!! We can't wait to record it ✨
