Elisha

Will there be books on Charlie, Beckett and Eliot? If so when?

Dani P

If we have an idea for a bonus scene we would love to see, would you guys be interested in us telling you? If so, where would you prefer we tell you? Patreon direct message? The pinned post at the top of the Patreon? Social media? You guys have mentioned in the past that you have an ongoing list. Is that something you guys update constantly or only once in a while?

Haley Secen

Super generally how are you guys? How are you all doing with balancing the Addicted/Calloway Sisters deal, Dishonestly Yours, the Like Us series and all the other little things you have lined up for the future? What movies/tv shows are you watching in your free time? What books have you picked up recently?

Illyana

Eeeo I’ve been WAITING FOR THIS. Okay I’m going to start out with the comic book questions 👑☄️💫

Illyana

Favourite and least favourite X-Men right now during the Krakoan era and why?

Illyana

Who are some of the Famous one’s favourite X-Men during the Krakoan era right now and why?

Illyana

What are some X-Men related topics that the Hale are having in light of the Krakoan Era?

Illyana

Favourite X-Men couple right now?

Illyana

Comic book reading! How do the Hales read their comics? Do they have 1 destination (The Hale House) where the single issues are delivered, and every Wednesday (comic book release day) and fight over who has first dibs on the latest release? Or does Moffy and Luna share comics now they live outside the Hale House? Do they wait for the Dawn of X trade paperbacks or does Lo wait to read and collects the comics in hardcover format?

Illyana

Has Moffy started playing x-men or the batman animated show for Ripley yet? And is Farrow joining in and watching along with them? What would be his reactions?

Illyana

- Finale: settle your final takes on Sceema vs. jott! While the comics in the 2000’s as an entry point had sceema front and Center, jott represents that, “childhood friends to lovers, long time domestic love” that say, Lilo have. What makes you still gravitate towards the sceema ship despite that favoured trope ? And how has that fav ship effected ur reading / enjoyment of Krakoa? (tease ahead: sceema is still heavily implied but not as expressed as jott which means the door isn’t closed for us Sceema fans for now! Just editorial mandate to sell the ship that is Jott…)

Illyana

Is Luna (and maybe low key Donnelly) a big fan of Star Trek? Has she watched the all the Star Trek properties? I can imagine she would be because it’s sci-fi, but it has never been explictedly mentioned nor confirmed ! :D

Illyana

How do you guys celebrate Christmas? What are some of your Christmas traditions that you guys do every year? Movies you have to watch? Foods you have to make and bake? Is it a tradition at this point to write a bonus chapter ft. Christmas in the month of December? X

Miriam

Not sure it has been asked before, if so just ignore me ;) I wanted to ask about their social media presence, like we know a bit about Moffy and Jane with IG and Charlie with Twitter. What about the other ones? Also how many followers do they have? Aaaand do they do public appearances on talk shows and stuff like that? Have they ever done ad campaigns, I can just imagine all the Cobalt boys in an ad for their moms fashion line… Thats all!! Thank you xoxo

Julia

I know there's been podcasts on tattoos from the Like Us series, but I've always been dying to know exactly what lyric from Rest My Chemistry Garrison has tattooed! Not sure if this would take a whole podcast, but I'd love to know :)

Haley Secen

I also have two very random questions that pop up whenever I reread Hothouse Flower and I've always wondered 1) I've seen that the pomegranate is sometimes considered the real forbidden fruit and Daisy is eating one when Ryke first sees her. Was that a coincidence or on purpose? 2) whatever happened to Christina the model after the Paris riot? I don't ever remember hearing about her after Ryke pulls her out of the melee

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll answer this on the podcast, but I want to answer this now too in case anyone sees it and doesn't get a chance to listen to the podcast! The BEST place to suggest bonus scenes is on the weekly Friday Fizz Hangouts. We read every comment, and once we see a suggestion, we always pop open our "bonus scene suggestion" list and add it. And if you suggest something that already exists, we put a star next to it so we know it's a common suggestion that patrons want to see. We refer to this list A LOT when we're about to write bonus scenes and getting inspired to write them. We also bookmark (in our web browser) Fizz Hangouts where we ask about bonus scenes you'd all want to see in the Hangout Question, too 💗~ B

Dani P

Awesome! Thanks 😊

G

Do you have any plans for continuing the kotova series? Would you write camiladimitri story before charlieroxanne’s book? I would love for even a novella for them if not a full book! Would you ever do an extra podcast based on the kotovas and what they are up to as well??

Lanie

Is there hope that one day you will continue writing Timo, Katya and Dimitri's books? How about a The Raging Ones spin off? What other tropes would you want to write someday? If you could take a vacation right now where would you go and who would you want to go with you? What other author events you hope (and want) to join in the future? How would you celebrate Christmas? How do you balance work and personal life? What show on Netflix have you binged whatch recently? Have you watched Wednesday yet? What can you say about this show? Any good songs you've been listening to lately? Favourite movie of 2022?

Elara

How do you decide whose book is next in your series? Do you have it planned out before, or decide near the end of your current POV’s books?I feel like I would want to deep dive with every character at the same time haha.

Danielle

Hello ladies!! Happy Holidays! This is random but I had this question when I was rereading Misfit Like Us. In Infamous Like Us Beckett mentions he wants to ask Akara for a Bodyguard in his firm but he doesn’t have an extra one right now. In Misfits ,O Malley mentions he loves Beckett. Does Beckett feel this way about O Malley at all? He only mentions “O Malley is alright”. How would Beckett moving to Akara’s firm change things with Beckett and O Malley? Thank you ladies for the amazing books you write!!

a

after the end of the like us series, will their be a separate series for the rest of the characters? and is the cobalt empire series going to include Audrey or will the girls have their own separate series?

Evie N

In Luna and Donnelly’s books, will we find out more about donnellys childhood and will Donnelly ever see his parents again.

a

in one of the bonus scenes you mentioned that one of garrisons brothers was trying to reach out to him, what happened with that? will their be a continuation of this story line?

Tania Jeraldo

I was 100% sure that Beckett would be in a triad.. but then I heard from somebody else in the facebook group that you guys were unsure.. just want to know.. Im all for the triad 👍🏼. I think Beckett needs that stability for him. So Please let him be in a triad like his bestfriend. Love u guys ❤️

Dani P

In Fearless Like Us (ch 31), Sulli says that Beckett likes Greek mythology. From Cobalretti’s books we know that Thatcher also likes Greek mythology. Do you think they’ve had conversations bonding over their shared interest?

Hailey

If you had to assign each sfo member a song, and it had to be a sad one, what would it be and why? Also I’ll throw Tom in there to because I feel like I’d be disrespecting him if I didn’t include him, you know since he’s all about music. All throughout the series we got tidbits on Donnelly’s backstory, but I have a feeling so there’s something big that hasn’t been said yet and it’s going to break my heart. What can you comment on about this? Or if it’s to spoilery ig just answer if I’ll need the tissues on hand while reading Donnelly’s next 2 books. Is Tom still a virgin? I’m been trying to figure out, but as I’ve been trying to play detective through reading paetron scenes and books, I just can’t. So I was just wondering.

Teresa

Will you reveal more about the Cobalt series if not now in the podcast than in 2023 , atleast something in regards to how it's going to be written or confirmation on who the next couple will be. Also if writing the Cobalt series will you write in simultaneously with the Like us series or go back and forth. Do you have book tilitles and covers aswell for some of them?

Teresa

Who from the Cobalts is least likely to have children? Is infertility a trigger you plan to write about in future books?

Teresa

In Misfits the conversation with Beckett and Donnelly was long over due but still I expected more from Donnelly on his pain and anger on Becketts betrayal can we still expect more of a confrontation between them?

Teresa

Do you guys have plans for more polyamorous relationships, I know you're still undecided on Beckett/Joanna/Leo but other than them any others. It's a real struggle for me to read those kind of books so I just would appreciate a warning so I can get use to the idea.

Illyana

What were marrows (and lilos) thoughts on the batman (2022)🦇?

Illyana

Did we ever find out what Connor wrote in Ryles book that made Ryke flustered when he gifted in a Christmas gift? When he gifted back annotated all the core six’s fav books?

Illyana

Head canon moment: if omega were to form a band, who would be what? Who would be a singer/guitarist ? Drummer? Bass? Idk why but I have a feeling farrow would be the lead singer? Maybe Donnelly on drums? But Donnelly and farrow would both songwrite together? What do you guys think! It’s my fav musing when I listen to music :)

kylie

what christmas gifts are the core 6 getting for eachother this year?

kylie

can you tell us anything about any of the extra scenes you’re writing to put in the books?

kylie

do you think the next couple (after lunnelly) will be announced in 2023?

kylie

what is the number one gift that each of the girl squad wants? (ex: vada-new bike)

Ellieeeee

Do you have plans for what’s happening after Luna and Donnelly’s books are done, regarding our favourite famous ones and who’s next 👀, I know you can’t say anything but would love a simple yes or no :)

A spector

Any chance we will see the new Pinterest boards for our new(er) characters in the new year? 👀

Catherine

How did the Berkley deal happen? Did you reach out to them and/or other publishers to see if they wanted the Addicted Series? Or did they reach out to you? If so, did they mention why now, like did its huge resurgence on booktok play a role?

Catherine

How long after the Addicted Series deal with Berkley did the three-book deal for Dishonestly Yours happen or was that first? What were your thoughts knowing Berkley wanted both the first book series you ever published and a brand new one?

Catherine

Can you give us a play-by-play of hearing for the first time that Berkley wanted to pick up the rest of the Addicted Series? And who was the first person you told after hearing the news?

Catherine

I am going to miss the name "The Calloway Sisters Series," but I am so happy that all 10 books will be under one series title of The Addicted Series for Berkley. Are you happy with Berkley making it just one big series because it makes the recommended reading order now the official reading order?

Zeynep

Any updates on my girl Roxanne🥲? How is she doing? Is she okay? I miss her 🥹

Ellieeeee

What are the chances of meeting Roxanne or Leo in the next two Lunelly books? 👀

A spector

Does Luna and Donnelly romance have a literary reference? Storybook love Superhero - Maximoff + Farrow Cinderella - Thatcher + Jane Little Mermaid? - Sulli + Kits + Banks ? - Luna + Donnelly Romeo and Juliet - Eliot + Winnifred Beauty and the Beast - Xander + ?

A spector

Lily was 23 when Maximoff was born. Rose was 25 when Jane was born. Both Maximoff and Jane were/will be the same ages as their mothers when their firstborn are born. Can you confirm this was intentional?

A spector

All the scenes with Winnifred in Infamous like us were from Sulli’s POV. She is a less observant narrator than say the bodyguards or some of the other characters. Would not make final judgement of Winnifred based on those scenes. Was this an intentional move on your part as writers? Sulli is so goal oriented I feel like she blocks excess information and I feel like there is information I am missing in some of these scenes. 💭

Lucia

I've recently reread kiss the sky and in the psychic scene she tells Rose she senses twin boys in her future. Did you two plan so ahead of time for Charlie and Beckett to exist and be twins? I couldn't believe it when I reread :)

Illyana

good one!

Jessica

Oh my okay I have always wanted to know this .. I remember you two saying in one of your podcasts that you don’t name side characters names that you’ll use later on for your main characters. In the early addicted series, lily and lo’s fake friends were Charlie and Stacy. I have always wondered if that was a coincident that you named their friend Charlie and then Connor and Rose’s son Charlie later on ?! I have just always wondered this :):)

A spector

Harriet’s scowl to Eliot in Misfits… The scowl was definitely a Cobalt brothers hatred scowl. I’m enjoying how Harriet and Jo both group all the brothers together to demonstrate their feelings for one of the brothers…and I have a feeling this trend will spread. Will this be an important theme in the Cobalt brothers books? Their joint identity versus individuality?

Arianna

what do the hales and the others do for xanders birthday and christmas 🎅🎄

Naomi Ogoh

Will there be a book on Joanna and Beckett?😁

Shayani Jones

what was the hales reactions (specifically moffy and farrows) to getting MK as the surrogate? how did that all happen

A spector

The first meeting ♥️ (bonus scene request)

Danielle

What were the Cobalts reactions to the Girl Squads party?

Danielle

In Head Strong Like Us, when the Girl Squad was found skinny dipping, we see Charlie and Beckett whispering to each other. What were they whispering about?

Teresa

Can you tell us something about the love interest for either Elliot, Tom or Ben, whether it's their name, if they are a person of diversity, a hobby ,personality. Anything at all would be great!!❤

ri

Would you ever write a Christmas eve/day bonus scene with all the families?!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

I completely agree not only does he need that stability he was also the one to introduce the idea of one to sulli so if he was in one it would be so full circle!

Teresa

Will we be getting more Donnelly sleepwalking and will you guys do Donnelly flashbacks in the books?

Teresa

Does Oscar know as much as Farrow when it comes to Donnellys past? And how much does Oscar's parents know?

A spector

I think that’s what the media will say, very much agree

Arrow

Will there be any other LGBTQ+ characters in the Addicted universe to get books other than Kinney and Tom?

A spector

For Donnelly, I think there have been hints. We haven’t met any female Donnellys and I think their treatment in the family was similar to how Donnelly was treated. Theory but I think this will be key to taking down his family…💭

Sarah

Will you be naming the Morretti baby after your grandmother?

Sarah

Are you considering writing Ripley, Blue, Seven, and the other cousins’ love stories?

Sarah

Have you made a decision on Leo? I know you’ll make it great no matter what, I personally don’t think he’d add to Jo & Beckett. It seems almost like Beckett would be trying to play catch up with Sulli (on the love front). Thoughts?

Sarah

Are any of your future couples Klaroline (TVD) inspired?

Sarah

You should totally do that thought btw

Camila Iciaszczyk

I was wondering if you could go over what personality results the characters have (from the 16Personalities test)? If not, since there are so many characters, could you let us know what personality Winona has? Love my girl Nona <3

Andrea

Are there any tropes you haven't written that you really want to write? Obviously you don't have to confirm if you will write that trope in case of spoilers but I'm curious if there's something you really want to write one day that you haven't yet. Speaking of potential projects, I remember once upon a time you had an idea about a Camp Calloway romance (sounded amazing btw) is that something you still think about periodically even if you have no concrete plans about it?

Elaine Chamberlin

Have you made a decision on Beckett Joanna and Leo. I’m keeping my fingers crossed I love the idea. I love your books you show the love for all.

Carrie

I’m curious about how to best support y’all (book buying wise). Do you have a preference on if people buy the ebook versus through your store versus at the actual bookstore? Is one way better than the other (from the standpoint of getting paid better for your work, or maybe numbers bought on a certain platform matter more so that it more important at the moment?). What are the benefits of having a publisher versus indie publishing? I’ve always assumed authors get paid better for their work by publishing their own books because they don’t have to pay middle men, but you also then have to do all the work to publicize etc, so maybe having a publisher is better? Definitely curious if you want to share, but I won’t be offended if this seems too rude for the podcast!

aly hughes

In the past you’ve talked about why you decided to change the titles of the Circus is Family books and how you come up with the titles of the Like Us series books, but what about your other books? I’m curious about how you guys came up with the titles you did for each book in the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series, Love & Other Cursed Things, The Raging Ones, and Dishonestly Yours. Were there any other titles you seriously considered before deciding on the current titles of these books?

Dani P

And Moffy? (Plus the Farrow, Oscar, and Jack if you expand outside the families)

Dani P

Have you guys thought more about how you might weave in the love stories of side characters like Quinn, Frog, Gabe, and MK with the love stories of the famous ones? Also, you've mentioned wanting to write more from the Circus Is Family series. Do you know when you would want to do that? Do you plan to write those stories before writing Roxanne's POV? I'm sure it's too far out in the future to know for sure but I'm curious what different options you're considering

Camila Iciaszczyk

Very random, but what phones/phone cases do the like us characters have? I have a feeling a lot of them have iPhones for the group chats. I remember Jane’s phone case was mentioned in the first book and though it was so interesting and was wondering what the others have? I love hearing little everyday things like this about the characters.

aly hughes

What made you choose Philly as the location of the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series? Was there anything specific about the city that you thought would benefit the series by having the characters located there?

aly hughes

Is there any chance of us getting a Camila and Dimitri book before a Roxanne and Charlie book?

aly hughes

You’ve mentioned before that the reading order for the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series was a bit confusing for some readers. If you could go back and restructure those series in order to make the reading order less confusing how would you do so? Is there anything you would change or are you happy with the reading order as it is?

Sarah

Are there any tropes you don’t like writing?

Sarah

Is there anything you regret putting into the Like Us series?

Illyana

What Christmas gifts are marrow, kitusletti, thatch and Jane and Oscar and Jack gifting each other for 2022 Christmas ?

Illyana

Great one!

Illyana

It’s interesting you think that because I personally prefer Leo and Beckett! For me the trope of two rivalling principle dancers that get the same struggles in a silent way, is comforting, not to mention how Leo can get through to Beckett because he has the same ballet upbringing and struggle just makes sense to me! I was a former pro dancer and the life of a dancer performing individually is so lonely and even people in other sport professions never got it. Cuz it’s an art form as well as a sport. So I think Leo and Beckett will get each others sweet spots in a way I think nobody else will! Not to mention they both will get being male dancers discrimination as history normally only cares about the prima ballerinas over the male ones. But ultimately it’s kbr’s decision and I know they will sell me on whatever they settle on! I try not to have expectations when going into a novel cuz or else they’ll lead to disappointment (it’s happening quite literally too much in the xmen fandom and it’s exhausting to be caught in between ship wars I just want someone to do the work for me and pair the main pairing and all I have ti do is read and fall in love with them hehe 😆🥹)

Illyana

These are the QUESTIONS I NEED ANSWERING

Illyana

What are some of Like Us characters favourite properties (tv/movies) that came out in 2022? Aside from Wendesday Adam oc being Kinney's fav cuz its obvious?! right! right...?

Illyana

If Donnelly, Luna, marrow, kitusletti, thatch and Jane and Oscar and Jack, were to each make a new years resolution for 2023, what would it be and why?

Illyana

Becca you mentioned getting really into baseball in 2022. How did this love for the sport come about? What got you into it? And why baseball? How did you learn about the sport? Which team(s) do you support? Who are your fav players? What are some of your hot takes or misconceptions about the sport you want to clear up? What podcasts do you listen to (or what podcasts got you into it) and will we ever see now in the Like Us series, the characters play baseball now? Between you and i, i would get into baseball because of the BOOTIES. I would love to see Donnelly rocking the tight baseball pants... And I think his tik tok followers and Luna would too :P <3

Illyana

How often does Moffy drink tea? 😜 🍵 and what is the origin story behind his preference of tea over coffee?

A spector

Gloria Rose 🥀

a

how do oscar and farrow feel about donnelly wanting to be with luna and how his family is messing that up? All the love to the yale boys❤️

Ellieeeee

I agreeee, I feel like Jo and Beckett alone would be so much better, I wasn’t a fan of Sulli’s. But I’ll always support and read their books no matter what

A spector

Do Jack and Oscar have a literary reference?

A spector

If the Cobaletti’s baby is due the day before Luna’s birthday, then is the Marrow baby due on or around Xander’s birthday? Birthday twins? Another Christmas baby? Maximoff missing another on of Xander’s birthdays?

iz

how did you come up with the core 6 names, was there any inspiration or story behind any of them

Sarah

But we’re like 12 books into the Like Us series and they’ve had zero on page interactions. Jo and Beckett’s rivalry has been happening since SLU and I feel like they jump off the page at you. Whenever Jo and Beckett are on page I’m instantly hooked. Idk the thought of someone else with them just doesn’t seem right but whatever KBR decides I’m sure it will be great. I’ll read it regardless because I enjoy their writing and I love the universe they’ve built.

iz

out of the core 6, what trope did you enjoy writing the most

iz

writing the stories together, did you ever disagree on something and if so what was it

Sarah

What is the deciding factor into what book you publish next? For example, Dishonestly Yours vs the next Lunnelly book or even vs a Camilla & Dimitri book?

G

I agree with the zero interactions bit, jobeckett have had so many interactions between them that I would feel like adding in another person would change their dynamic and not really make sense to me! I feel like he would need to be added in soon to get an idea of what he is like and how they all would fit together.

Ellieeeee

Yesssss, like what apps they have, their wallpapers

R

Can we get more insight on Garrison's addiction? How the core six felt about it? How he struggled? Willow's POV? Does Vada know? Lo and Lily sympathising with him/helping him?

R

Was there ever a younger kids sort of club with the core eight? (Daisy, Garrison and Willow) as they are the same age. Do they have a special sort of friendship formed because of that?

Ellieeeee

How was both of yours yearrrr? Highlights? Best moments with family, best book/writing achievements, favourite movie/series. And what are you looking forward to next year? 🥰

Illyana

You’ve mentioned in the past that Luna would love saga (the comics). What other non xmen/batman comics would The Hale’s love to read? Or characters/ships outside the xmen would they really be into?

Lauren Johnson

How’s Roxanne?☀️Will we be seeing her again in luna and Donnelly’s upcoming book/books.🤞🏻🤞🏻

Lauren Johnson

Was Oscar curious about why Charlie was so interested in Roxanne?🤔 I feel like Oscar knows that it isn’t a common occurrence for Charlie to be interested, so is he curious.😁

Lauren Johnson

What languages does Charlie know that Connor does not?

R

Smoking. If you've read the Bad Reputation Duet. I guess it's also mentioned in Some Kind of Perfect where it was implied that the core six got him to quit but he started smoking again. And in some bonus scenes here too.

Sarah

💯

Lauren Johnson

I know you can’t tell us any details but can you tell us (as a yes or a no) if you have chosen the trope for Charlie and Roxanne?💫🪐

Lauren Johnson

I don’t know if you have answered this already but it was said that Charlie asked Beckett About Roxanne and that’s how he knew she spoke Russian, how did Charlie bring this conversation up? Where and what were they doing?

Lauren Johnson

What is Roxanne’s favorite color and book? What color are her eyes? Does she have the Kotova eyes?🤞🏻🤞🏻✨

Lauren Johnson

You’ve said that you have always seen the type of person that Charlie would fall in love with, what exactly does this mean? What “type” of person would you say Roxanne is?💋

Lauren Johnson

Was Charlie jealous of Sulli having a relationship as well when he confronted her about it in Beckett’s ballet room?

Teresa

Can you give us a song recommendations representing future couples? For characters like Beckett and Joanna, Charlie and Roxanne, and couples we don't know about yet Elliot, Quinn, and Tom.

Teresa

What made you decide to have the Loren confrontation with Donnelly in book 1?

Ella

pls release the ryke & daisy in costa rica and connor & rose in bora bora bonus scene pls pls i beg

Tanya t

Will we ever get flashback of the core 6? Would love another scene from model un with the cobalts or lilo as small kids with Anjelica aka rose making an appearance or ryke deciding to not drink after hitting the mailbox or Connors pov on his first date or early dating with rose

Vicki

You mentioned that you've both been deep in the writing cave this month. What have you been writing?

Miriam Lmao

does every side character need a love interest or a story…can they not just be side characters?

Dani P

They can. However, KBR has mentioned in podcasts that they're thinking of writing a book for Quinn. I was wondering how they plan to time that with the main family's books.

R

Addiction is such a large theme in these books but his was sort of, brushed over? I was kind of disappointed honestly.

Dani P

Also, I totally ship MK and Gabe and would love to see what they're story would look like

Sioned

What would you both say is one scene you regret writing or not writing? (In the books.) Do you ever feel like you can relate to the core six/the famous ones when they get bombarded with personal questions from their ‘fans’? What do your wiring setups look like? Do you write together? What made you both pursue writing together? Do you ever get irritated when us fans constantly ask when you’re going to write the Cobalt Empire Series? What made you decide not to write any of the cobalt boys books sooner? In the like us characters relationships, have you ever made any conscious similarity’s to the code six’s relationships? How has this year changed you? As people, sisters , friends, authors? Are you both cat or dog people? Why if there was a cobalt empire series would you not write Charlie’s books first? Stop torturing us😂 What’s something about your characters that you think you’d find embarrassing/cringe if you didn’t know them personally/weren’t in their head? What’s one of the like us characters flaws that you find irritating? What’s a small thing your characters have done that you’ve done? If you weren’t a writer what do you think you’d both be? Describe each of your writing styles in four words

Sioned

Have you given us any easter eggs for future characters relationships?

ann.nonymous

Have u guys officially decided on some of the future pairings yet (even if u haven’t announced it yet)? Like do u guys know if it will be Beckett in a trio or just with Jo? And do u know who the other LU characters love interests are yet?

ann.nonymous

-What are you guys working on right now? Which book are you writing and how far along have u gotten? - How long does it take for you to write a book? - for next year will you guys just finish both lunelly books first and then start writing your new series DY?

space babe

will we see a xander Harriet interaction in the next lunnelly books? 🤞🤞🤞

space babe

did you think of a love interest for ben already?

space babe

you said that one possible future couple was inspired by the movie some kind of wonderful, then i asked if the girl was Harriet (she's a drummer!) and you said yes, so will she get a Pinterest board eventually?

space babe

i know that you didn't confirm winnifred eliot yet, but in a hypothetical scenario, how would they communicate? she doesn't speak and he struggles with reading/writing. so sign language? or would she speak to him?

Illyana

This is kinda Christmas random but I have to know! Now that all the kids are are “grown up” what is the family’s tradition when it comes to “Santa Claus” gifting gifts to all of them? Do any of the families expect regardless of age to keep the “magic” alive? Does Charlie still make believe in Santa for when Audrey and Ben were still young? 🥹

Ale

Have you ever thought of writing about coballoway’s first date, jane’s birth, their wedding day… from rose and connor’s povs?

Anna

I think they mentioned somewhere that in the new Barkley re-release of Kiss the Sky (or maybe another book) there's going to be a bonus chapter of their first date

space babe

lmaoo it's not controversial at all, it's not even cousins to lovers!!!! ngl i was hoping for a figure skater for ben, but I'll take vada she's a skater of sorts lol

space babe

ok so i asked kbr in a previous q&a and they said she's not Kinney's. i think eliot has winnifred and they give me romeo and Juliet vibes. so i believe it's either xander or ben. but since Harriet is Luna's college buddy and she doesn't care about fame, i think she might hang out at the hale mansion and meet him. also akara who's exactly xander's height said she was head to chest with him, and my crazy brain makes me think they visualized xander harriet🤣🤣

space babe

yes!! also they're the same age, harriet is in college bc she skipped a grade but she's 17 just like him!

space babe

space babe

Lauren Johnson

What would Charlie ask for for Christmas?😂

Tanya t

Another bonus or novela book about Maria in la? I mean she has to be guarded like willow. The bonus of the girl squad and Jane was such a teaser

Illyana

If Connor and rose had a special needs kid (autism, non-speech), how would their family dynamic, relationship, work life etc change?

R

How would the parents feel about the Girl Squad, Ben and Xander (The younger ones lol) having sex? partying? smoking/drinking? that sort of stuff?

R

are the girl squad's love interests already established?

Cole Williams

A lot of your books are available from libraries through Hoopla- will the Like Us series be updated to have the new bonus scenes from the special editions??? 💚

Ellieeeee

I loveeeee the idea of Xander and Harriet, obviously Harriet didn’t know much about the famous families and couldn’t really care less so I feel like Xander would trust her a lot betterrrr

space babe

Right!! he's a softie and she's so grumpy i love them already

Alexandra

I would really love to know more about the writing process of MLU and Lunnelly. When did you first start plotting their romance? Has a lot changed since your first draft or has it stayed pretty much the same? Have you always known how they would end up to be together? Do you already know in detail what is going to happen in their next two books? How did you feel while writing MLU? How would you describe the tone of the book and is it going to be different for their next books (e.g. more angst or more lighthearted)?

Alexandra

Has christmas changed for the families now that grandbabies are in play? For example, would the roommates celebrate Christmas morning together with their spouses and then go for lunch to their parents?

gabi

We've actually had very little JoBeckett on the page, I don't feel like it would be hard to catch up - the little hints at Leo have been really building anticipation for me. Nor does it need to be equal before their story starts - Banks was a latecomer to the Kitsulletti relationship yet his relationships with the other 2 are my favourite parts of the dynamic. Like others have said, I'll read either way and I do have trust that they know best, but I'd be lying if I said the prospective trio isn't my preferred option.

Alexandra

I know those questions are probably frustrating for you and don't feel pressured to talk about this in depth but do you know all the love interests for the other kids already? I know you're not just going to reveal/confirm them all at once on here but will we know most of the discussed potential couples, let's say by the end of lunnelly's books? I love to root for couples long before they get their own book and get emotionally attached. but I feel like as of right now I might be betting on a losing horse (namely beckettjoleo and maybe xandereaston?) totally respect your creative process either way though of course, i trust your vision!

updates on unlucky like us😍

Illyana

What would farrow, Moffy, thatch, Jane, Luna and Donnelly ask for Christmas 2022? 🤍

Illyana

space babe

Katelyn C

Teresa

Will you guys put a family tree of the Circus is family series on your website?

Camila Iciaszczyk

What are the youngest kids favourite snacks? Do they have a favourite take-out? Also, which artists/bands are they listening to? Do they have favourite music genres?

Jiah Choi

If there’s a cobalt brother series and maybe a girls squad series, then Xander is the only one who won’t fit in either series. Have you planned any books for Xander?

Alexandra

What are you most excited for in 2023 and what is your favorite memory of 2022 (author/book related and otherwise)?

Alexandra

How many ideas/plots for other books (or book series) do you have laying around usually or specifically right now? Will you sometimes just develop something even if you are currently working on/writing something else?

Alexandra

Does being an author change with getting older (or maybe the feeling of being an author)? Do you like it more or less (in general or certain aspects of it)?

Alexandra

It feels like Patrons and you are pretty close, as people here are just more involved in your written worlds and your writing process. Are you sometimes worried that comments here have or could influence your creative process and ideas in what directions plots and characters should develop or is it easy to seperate for you?

Alexandra

This might a bit personal but do you sometimes think about what would change in your writing process if you two don't live together anymore at some point in the future?

Sioned

i love this question!

K

Will there be any new LU couple confirmations in 2023 or will you guys wait a little while longer before confirming anything?

Illyana

We know that Farrow dismissed the assumption Moffy made that residents and interns have sex in on call rooms in ALU, but have Marrow (maybe even Lily i feel like she would have these convos with Farrow) chatted about misconceptions and laugh over the Hales’s takes on what, working life in a hospital is like just cuz they watched grey’s anatomy? Working Christmas shifts? Some disaster patient incidents? Incestuous intern shagging? I would love to see this pan out XD it would be hilarious to see Moffy want to know but be too proud to give farrow the upper hand in clarifying XD

Jiah Choi

Will people like us be available on Apple Books? I have my like us series on Apple books. I know you said we won’t have an ebook for PLU because it’s on Patreon but it would be better to read it in chronological order without having to click on links for each chapter

Illyana

Type of reader question! If you are reading an well written ensamble cast lead book/comic, where you are invested in every character, and you DON'T like one of the major ships, can you put aside your feels for them for the sake of the other characters/wanting to know how the plot will unravel? Or are you guys the type of readers where an main/important ship you dislike is being constantly shown in the book/comics is enough to drop the book/comic?

Illyana

When you guys prepare for a podcast, so when you guys close the Q&A and go, 'on air', what happens from that point on up until you turn the mic on to record? :)

Teresa

How long does it take you ladies to write a novel?

Illyana
