Welcome to Sheryl's world. As I crafted this story, I envisioned Sheryl as a college student hailing from an affluent family, navigating the complexities of her two distinct worlds and the clash they create.
Sheryl's background is rooted in privilege; her father is both a businessman and a scientist, while her mother is a dedicated teacher. She also has a sister, Ellene. Strong-willed and fiercely independent, Sheryl is reluctant to rely on others even when she truly needs support.
I aimed to explore the circumstances that led Sheryl into the realm of escorting, revealing her desire to experience love and the challenges she faces when it enters her life. Through her journey, I sought to illustrate the delicate balance and stark contrasts between her dual realities.
Taboo
I developed "Taboo" after reflecting on a middle school presentation by a classmate about the legality of cousin marriages across different states. As I delved deeper into this intriguing subject, I discovered that, historically, America permitted cousin marriages, provided the cousins were not first cousins. I also found it fascinating that many prominent British families seemed to marry their cousins, with the notable exception of Princess Diana.
This exploration inspired me to write "Taboo," where I could creatively examine this theme through storytelling. In my narrative, I introduced the characters as third cousins—this connection isn’t overtly stated but subtly woven into their relationship. Readers can sense the bond between them, enhancing the story's emotional depth.
I aimed to create a lighthearted tone infused with humor while also portraying the heartfelt connection that Dante feels for Michelle. It's a balance of playful interactions and genuine sentiment that I hope resonates with readers.
The Letter
Sharon is a woman who truly believes in the power of love and dreams of finding her perfect match. Eager to express her feelings, she decides to write a heartfelt letter to a man she has yet to meet. As she pours her thoughts onto the page, she experiences a profound realization: this letter is not just a message to her future partner but also a powerful declaration of self-love.
Her journey through writing becomes a story of hope, self-acceptance, and the magic of falling in love—both with herself and with the idea of future romance. It’s a beautiful narrative that highlights the importance of recognizing one's own worth and the joy that comes from embracing love in all its forms.
