Author Motivation:When I sat down to write my series I created characters I liked. I wanted the women to be smart, have their heads on straight, be part of a group of supportive friends, and have a positive relationship with their family. I wanted the guys to be the men you really want to meet -- good guys, who work hard, and treat women with respect.All the princess books are coming of age stories. Our protagonists have finished college and are now embarking on the adult world. Overcoming an embedded belief or coming to terms with adult issues is not always easy or pretty to watch. If I've done my job well as an author, there will be times when you yell at my protagonist to grow up, get their head out of their butt, or to stop worrying so much. Hopefully, by the end of each book, you will cheer the protagonist as they grow, change, and evolve into an adult.Of course these are all romance novels, so the center of each story is the protagonist as they grow, mature and get to embrace their wonderful partner.Please note, this single book, formally was the Juliette Trilogy - Meet Me in Silicon Valley, Kiss Me in Silicon Valley and Be with Me in Silicon Valley.
