I've been messaged questions, or asked them in chapters, especially after how I decided to end the series. I thought I would answer them all in one place.
First, the main character of the story is, and always has been, Anna. We follow Anna along her life's journey. Harry just happens to be a (rather ginormous) part of that journey, and some would even argue that he is/was the most important part of her journey. That being said, I hope you can understand that I wanted to show Anna surviving, and thriving, after her person was no longer on this side of earth.
Q: Is he going to come back from the dead? Or is he really dead?
A: He's not coming back. I don't think I need to elaborate on that.
Q: Her dad died. Why did you kill off Harry, too?
A: There was always supposed to be a parallel to her dad and Harry both leaving way before what many would consider "their time". The purpose for this was intentional. I wrote the first 10 chapters and the last 2 chapters, and Epilogues, for the book first (it was originally going to just be one book). I wanted to show that some people, even if only there for a short time, can make a life-lasting impact.
Q: Why so many kids?
A: I honestly don't know. I wrote them as very sexually charged characters, so it just felt like they should probably have a small herd of children for the amount of sex they were having.
Q: Anna forgives Harry for a lot of shit. Don't you think that made her look weak?
A: I don't think so. I think they both learned a lot, and had a lot of growing up to do. When he was doing all the things he received forgiveness for, he was a still a teenager trying to figure out how to have a girlfriend while navigating One Direction. It's hard to remember that they were young, but for all if book one they were 23, and under. Plus, Harry more than put in the work.
Q: Will there be any books about the children?
A: Not at this point. I am not sure there is enough of a story there to do that with these characters.
Q: I'm reading your other book and now I'm worried that will end in a similar way.
A: Well, Luke (her husband) died before the book started and I will NOT be killing off Harry (don't want that reputation). As for the ending, if I were to tell you that now you'd have no reason to keep reading :) Just know that they are different stories that end very differently.
