Interview with Layla Reed, Author of Something Good

What’s the story behind the story? What impressed you to jot down Something Good?

When I began penning this story, I wished to painting the significance of household relationships, particularly with sisters. What would trigger sisters to not converse to one another for 18 years? I wished to return to the place all of it started, to the place every little thing fell aside and the way that formed their lives so a few years later. Do the experiences of our childhood form our future? I needed to do some deep digging from Tonya and Olivia, and get to the basis of their points and insecurities.

What’s your favourite style to learn? Is it the identical as your favourite style to jot down?

I like studying historic and modern ladies’s fiction, romance, and suspense. I take pleasure in writing in all these genres, however some of my novels are typically extra suspenseful than I assumed they might be.

What books are in your TBR pile proper now?

Colleen Hoover’s ‘It Starts with Us’ is my subsequent learn. After that, I plan to learn one other novel by Elin Hilderbrand.

What scene in your e book was your favourite to jot down?

I beloved writing the scene the place Tonya first met Ben. Tonya was feeling so unhealthy about herself. Her pants break up down the center and when she tried to cowl it up, she finally ends up head to head with Ben, agreeing to exhibiting him across the college. Luckily, Ben was such a gentleman, he pretended to not discover what was happening, however Tonya was mortified!

Do you’ve gotten any quirky writing habits? (fortunate mugs, cats on laps, and so forth.)

I are likely to snack lots once I write. As quickly as I begin writing I search for one thing to nibble on! I ought to strive gum to see if that helps.

Do you’ve gotten a motto, quote, or philosophy you reside by?

Tomorrow shouldn’t be promised to any of us, so stay right now – I’ve actually taken this to coronary heart and in 2022 I crushed some main objectives and stepped out of my consolation zone. Although some of it was uncomfortable, I’m so proud of myself and may’t wait to see the place this 12 months takes me.

If you can select one factor for readers to recollect after studying your e book, what wouldn’t it be?

I would like my readers to really feel all of the feels with every character – typically its happiness, different instances its tragic. If you learn one thing of mine and felt that emotion, then I did my job. Not each e book has a contented ending, however when it does, I hope the reader feels it. Most of the endings in my books are bittersweet, or come full circle, and I hope the readers will really feel the identical manner.
