But now I realize how truly lost I am without her. She has become my story…and even though she acts like she’s moved on, I know she still thinks about me just as much as I think about her. She’s beautiful, sweet—and so damn vulnerable, all I want to do is help her. Be there for her. Love her…
If only I could convince Fable to give me a second chance. Then I wouldn’t feel so lost anymore, and neither would she. We could be found together.
Forever.
Monica Murphy: I was a reader who gobbled up books as fast as I could get them. After a while, I started thinking, “I really want to do this.” It took a while for me to get serious but once I did, I didn’t stop. I’ve been writing ever since.
Romance Addict: What is something not a lot people know about you?
Monica Murphy: Umm…I’m a complete mystery. I lead a second life. And my second life is as Monica Murphy.
No really, I’m totally boring. *winks*
Romance Addict: What inspired Drew & Fable's story?
Monica Murphy: Fable’s been with me since 2009 – I tried to write a YA with her as the main character but it didn’t work out. Drew came to me when I saw a news report about a teacher who was arrested for having a sexual relationship with her seventeen year old student. I started thinking we rarely hear from the teenage guy’s side. They’re generally portrayed as getting lucky and scoring with the older woman versus as a victim.
So I wanted Drew to be a victim (that sounds awful but I think y’all know what I mean). And I wanted him to find healing and acceptance with Fable.
Romance Addict: Will Drew & Fable have a third book?
Monica Murphy: As of now I don’t plan on writing a third book for them. But the readers could change my mind if they demand it. I miss them already. But trust that I gave them a satisfying ending. No cliffhanger!
Romance Addict: What are some projects you are currently working on right now?
Monica Murphy: I’m working on my new series that will come out with Avon—three best friends who happen to be billionaires (of course right?), they make a high stakes bet that they won’t fall in love and settle down. Trust me, I throw a wrench in their plans and not only do they fall but they fall hard. *rubs hands together*
Romance Addict: What are some good books that you’ve read lately?
Monica Murphy: My goodness, I haven’t read a book from start to finish in a while which is SO SAD. I have some great books on my Kindle I hope to start here soon.
Romance Addict: Are there any books that have influenced your writing?
Monica Murphy: I wouldn’t say she influenced my writing, but I think Nyrae Dawn is an amazing author who captures the new adult genre perfectly. She makes me cry, she makes me feel—her writing blows me away. I love that. Plus, I’m lucky because I can call Nyrae my friend.
Romance Addict: If you could collaborate in writing a book with another author, who would it be?
Monica Murphy: Wow, tough question. Since I know Nyrae has collaborated with a few authors already, I’ll say Nyrae! Though we’re both so busy at the moment, it probably wouldn’t even happen until 2020. LOL
