️ EPISODE 7: Q&A with Fans – Why "From Him to Her"?
Hi everyone! Welcome back. Today's episode is personal – I'm answering your biggest question: "Why did you write From Him to Her? It's not your usual genre!"
You're right, it's not. I'm known for dark romances and morally gray characters. From Him to Her was a huge challenge.
Why did I write it? A Wattpad contest inspired me, but I'll be honest – I lacked experience with LGBTQ+ themes. It was unfamiliar territory. But something drew me in. Even without firsthand experience, I understood the struggle of self-discovery. I may not have lived Rax's life, but I knew what it felt like to be lost, judged, and afraid of the truth.
I questioned myself: "Do I have the right to write this story? Could I hurt the community instead of honoring them?"
I took the risk because representation matters. If even one reader felt seen and understood, it was worth it. I didn't write to pretend I knew everything; I wrote to learn, to listen, and to give voice to a story rarely told.
From Him to Her isn't just about gender; it's about real love – connection, understanding, and acceptance, not labels. Did I do the LGBTQ+ community justice? I hope so. I poured my heart into it, not to speak for them, but to stand with them.
Thank you to everyone who read From Him to Her. You gave me the courage to step outside my comfort zone and grow as a writer and a person.
Love,
