It will probably have some cameos from the LRFB characters eventually, as well as the Ula Kana problem that affected the whole island, but otherwise a totally new set of characters and their magical and romantic problems. (This answer edited in October 2021 to reflect current project.) :)(less)

Like a lot of people, I feel LGBTQ lifestyles are underrepresented in fiction, and it may be especially important to include them in books that teens read, because in the teen years it’s likely people haven’t come out yet and could use extra courage and inspiration. Besides, LGBTQ characters broaden the types of romances the story might contain, and I find those fun to explore.

Right now I'm working on two different novels with male/male love stories in them as more of a central focus, and hope to have at least one ready for the world in the next year.

I also look at LGBTQ issues from a more paranormal angle in the Persephone series, because the main characters can remember their past lives (going back to ancient Greece and beyond), in which they sometimes were a different gender or sexuality than they are now. So they have to have a more open mind about all types of relationships, having been in them firsthand! (less)

What makes for one of those stories you can't stop thinking about?

My lovely and delightful author friend Melissa McTernan was one of my early readers for Ballad for Jasmine Town, and said recently that she found herself still occasionally thinking about the book, months later. Which to me is such a high compliment! And it has led me to ponder: what is it that makes a story, be it book or show or film, stick in our heads longer than usual?

Plenty of shows or books

Ballad for Jasmine Town by Molly Ringle
“This mixing, this living side by side, no, it hasn’t always been harmonious. Sometimes the mutual interest has been obsession rather than love, violence rather than cooperation. But those dark times are the exceptions. Our many types of people here—we’ve made it work, on the whole, have we not?”
