When I was around eighteen, I read several Jane Austen stories and watched many adaptations of Pride and Prejudice. It was Pride and Prejudice, and also Sense and Sensibility that inspired the idea of my story.
My main character Cathy. When I first started writing this story, my characters and the circumstances were different. Even her name was different and she was older than she is now. I struggled with developing her character because the original character was deeply ingrained in my mind as one way, but the story wanted my character to be stronger and have more of a voice. So, with that, I started developing a new character and Cathy was born from that. Once I started actually writing her character after developing her, it became much easier to get her on the page.
The banter between Cathy and Nicholas. It's always fun to write.
My story doesn't have many parts up, but from what people are reading, they seem to enjoy it so far!
?
This particular story is part of a series. I plan on developing more books from this story!

I would like readers to take away from this story that just because people are good friends doesn't mean that it can't be more in the future. That a platonic kind of relationship can blossom into love. Also, I would say that the theme is "trust your heart."
I would say that it's perfectly fine to be inspired by other stories and ideas, but in order to have a story that stands out above the rest of them, focus on developing the characters. There are only seven or so plots in story writing. What sets stories apart in uniqueness is making sure that the story itself has strong characters, and by strong characters, that doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be strong people. It just means that they should be developed in a way that makes them human. Characters that are realistic always stand out, and that's how readers will come to you. It's okay to have a cliche story. I admit that my own story is cliche, but I like to make things realistic in a way.

She loves to play the piano and is good at it. I'm not good at piano, but we both share a love for piano playing. Also, Cathy likes to snoop around places. I do the same thing.
I get new readers whenever I post regularly, but I'm not sure what draws them in. I would say that because it's historical romance and this kind of historical story has been popular for decades, that could be one of the reasons why people come to it.
Actually, yes. I plan on writing the sequel when I finish writing this story. I'm super excited about it!

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.

The Sagas of Mortaholme
There is only one god and his name is Elduin, Dwarves are stories, magic isn’t real and the northern kingdoms are made up of raiders and the unfaithful. For two thousand years this has been the truth for the people of Alturine, the holy southern empire. For two thousand years, tradition has been leeched away to form a vicious cycle where the rich stay rich and the poor beget more poverty. Only now, when the southern realms of men are at their lowest does darkness leak back to stake its claim. Marius was raised in the northernmost reaches of Alturine under the trees of the Black Forest where remnants of the old kingdoms still linger. He never believed the stories of short mountain men, nor the old fables about mages and dragons. Yet the darkness cares little for belief and faith. He watched as wargs tore his mother and sister asunder, as the undead carried his father into their ranks and as his town was put to the torch and drowned in blood. Rage fuelled and vengeful Marius struck out against the architect of his misery only to be outmatched and left for dead.
