《Meet the authors showcase edition volume #2 Est. 6/5/2020》A showcase with @taramiles_, author of 22 letters
Advertisement
I once had a very real experience of not being able to talk to my crush, it was scary and embarrassing when I was younger. So I thought, "What if I just write a letter to him?" I did, things didn't work out for me though. This was years ago, but this incident inspired 22 Letters, and in this book, at least it has a happy ending!
Oh my God, the letters were challenging to write. A few were easy, but the final ones were just difficult haha.

I enjoyed writing my characters because they were based off of real life people I know. Leon is me, but definitely cheesier than I ever was and ever will be. The rest are loosely based off of my actual friends, but hey, they'll never know(except they do haha)

since it's LGBTQ fluff, they found it quite cheesy(in a good way) and adorable. Some even stayed to read the rest of the series, which will be completed in November (there are 2 more completed books on my profile though!)

Like I mentioned above, it is in a series, and the first one of said series. However, each book in the series can be read as a standalone, as I'd love to make sure that my readers can enjoy any of my books without having to read a different one first.
I wanted my readers to gain some confidence as Leon does in the story and talk to their crush(if they have one) I also wanted to let readers know that not all LGBTQ relationships have to have so much darkness or 'i don't like girls' scenario play out like I've seen in a couple of books(they are good books, I just didn't really add them to my personal taste) I wanted my readers to have a light-hearted fun romance with a lovable MC, and that's exactly what I try to give my readers.

A piece of advice that I got from one of my favorite writers on YouTube (Writing With Jenna Moreci) is to take care of yourself in the process. What that means is yes, it's good to really focus on your characters and book, but dont write yourself into a corner. Perhaps take a break and take care of yourself to recharge your battery. Writing a story can be exhausting, so do take care of yourself.
Yes he does! He's cheesy, absolutely shy when you meet him and a great friend!
Some readers say they were drawn in by the letters, others by the love interest, and others by the title and cover alone. But I think what would draw in readers could be the story, and how it progresses. It's also quite a short story compared to my other novels(I only have two short stories there!) But it doesn't really take away anything from the reader and overall enjoyment of the story.
Yes I do! I do have a lot of completed books on my profile (22 Series that has three completed books and stand-alones) and right now, I'm working on a new story called How To NOT Be Straight! But of course, if you're not a fan of LGBTQ, I have other books on my profile that you can check out!

Since the day she was born, the Lady Eithne of Dolgallu has lived under a magical prohibition: she may not marry before the omens are deemed favorable. Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the Drymyn Order, a mysterious sect of powerful priests and priestesses, have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged. But Eithne has the right to accept—or reject—her suitor. She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come. Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind—all the things any woman might ask from a man. But there’s the way of it: this is the man, you must marry him. Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice? Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it. So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, “No”? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?
