Trojan Con is set on Vorsor, a planet a lot like Earth - but with a few key differences. The society is built around special talents - affinities, and most residents have organized themselves into Guilds to thrive. Delia's story started with one key question - what would it be like if everyone around you was special, but you were ordinary? Delia chooses to fake her way through, pretending she has an affinity, but remaining outside of the guild structure. I hope you enjoy Delia and Kam's adventure! What drew you to writing? I love reading quirky, nerdy real-life romances and seeing people become their best selves as they learn and grow together. Character-driven books with realistic flaws always captivated me and made me want to create more. How do you find inspiration for your books? TV and movie archetypes and fantasy pairings of them keep me endlessly entertained. I love humor and banter in my TV, and you'll find easter eggs leading back to some of my favorite shows in my books. I enjoy the energy of shows like Ted Lasso, Psych, and Schitt's Creek. Relatable and ridiculously fun. What makes your voice unique? My books are full of snarky family and flirty banter between love interests. I adore humor and showcasing how important supporting relationships are for all of us. When we're in our feelings and struggling, we can be thankful for friends and family to help us through the lows and celebrate the highs. Who are your author influences? I'm an old-school romance reader, starting with Harlequin, Jayne Ann Krentz, and Nora Roberts in my teens. As an adult, I've read everything Ilona Andrews has written. I love strong women, snarky humor, and lovers that make good partners. Name one thing every Amelia Simone book has. Wooing with food! I love a man who knows his way around the stove. Someone is always a pro in the kitchen in my stories and shows their love through cooking. I share a lot of my family's recipes with my newsletter subscribers, because they are just as delicious in real life. Tropes that make you one-click? Friends to lovers. Le sigh . Rivals to lovers and the variations of that: enemies to lovers and schemers to lovers. Also, I love a good matchmaking, heist, or betting subplot! Sweet or spicy? BOTH! In my books and in food. My books are all open door and steamy, but light and funny, with love interests who treat each other with kindness.
