Why is “sweetheart” the endearment of choice in your novels? Also, can you give us Jill & Ben’s first meeting from his perspective?

emeralddodge:

I played around with various endearments when I was writing, and “sweetheart” (and “sweetie”) always felt the most natural for these characters. I will employ other terms of endearment in future books.

I’ve been planning to share Benjamin’s first meeting sometime after Sentinel’s release, and today’s as good a day as any! I’ll have that up shortly.
