The Creative Journey and Solo Writing: Kristin reflects on the transition from co-authoring the dystopian Badlands series to the "very scary" but rewarding experience of writing her first solo romance, One Last Summer.

The Power of Dialogue: Kristin shares that writing dialogue is her greatest strength, noting that sharp, authentic character interactions are what truly separate great stories from mediocre ones.

Navigating Creative Conflict: The duo discusses how to manage disagreements during the writing process, with Kristin emphasising the importance of taking one's ego out of the equation to determine what best serves the story.

The Reality of Miscommunication: They explore why "miscommunication" is such a vital trope in fiction, arguing that it reflects the biggest real-world hurdle in human relationships.

Personal Inspiration and Quirks: Kristin reveals how a fourth-grade teacher ignited her love for writing and she shares fun personal details, from being a twin to her "overactive imagination" and full holiday decorating habits.
