Today Silvia Violet is joining me to talk about her experience with the Memories with The Breakfast Club series. Like me, Silvia wrote a story in Felice Stevens’ world, and she also chose to set her story in Sparks nightclub.
What were the key challenges of writing in someone elseโs world?
I was nervous about writing scenes with characters that Felice Stevens had created for her Breakfast Club series. I wanted the characters to feel authentic for readers so they were drawn right back into Feliceโs world.
What are the elements of Feliceโs Memories and Breakfast Club worlds that you incorporated into your story?
One of my main characters, Antonio is a bartender at Sparks who appears in Second to None. He makes a pass at Marcus who turns him down because he wants to pursue Tyler. Marcus appears in the story as Antonioโs boss, his protector, and his reluctant relationship consultant. Tyler makes a small appearance as well.
Do you have a background in fan fiction, as a reader or a writer?
Unlike many writers of gay romance, I had never written fan fiction (or even read much) before I started writing in this genre. I have now written a few short fan fiction pieces in the Hamilton fandom. My love of Hamilton led me to want to write a story set during the American Revolution, and I thought some Hamilton fan fic would be a great warm up exercise.
Now that youโve contributed a story to someone elseโs world, would you like to open up one of your own to other authors? If so, what one?
Iโve enjoyed this experience a lot, and I would love to open up one of my worlds to other authors. I think my Thorne and Dash series could make a fun world. Authors would have an interesting array of settings and character types who could interact with my charactersโrent boys, pastry chefs, tailors or fashion designers, business consultants, caterers, and lots of others.
If you everย do open your world to other authors, I’d love to take part. I love Thorne and Dash! What can your readers (and that includes me) expect from you next?
On July 10, Iโm releasing Down on the Farm, the first book in a new small town romance series, Ames Bridge. Hereโs the blurb:
After quitting his teaching job on the heels of a scandal, Beck Davis moves to the house his grandmother left him in Ames Bridge. He finds the town stifling, but itโs a quiet place to hide while he regroups. Or so he thought.
His neighbor Cal McMurtry shows up, demanding to buy Beckโs land. Cal is as infuriatingly sexy as he was ten years ago when he and his jock friends spent their summers taunting Beck.
Beck expects to hate Cal as he did back then, but Cal isnโt who Beck thought he was: heโs hardworking, passionate about revamping and diversifying his familyโs farm, andโfar more shockingโheโs gay, and interested in Beck.
But as much as they want each other, Beck has no intention of staying in Ames Bridge, and while Cal is technically out, he refuses to date openly. A real relationship seems doomed from the beginning, but love can be a powerful motivator for those willing to take a chance.

The last person Antonio expected toย see sitting atย the bar in Sparks was Scott, the only man he’d ever truly cared about, the only man whoย ever brokeย his heart.ย Asย memories ofย the painful end of their relationship comeย flooding back, all Antonioย can do is run.
Scottโs number-one regretย is believing Antonio wouldย hurt him. Heโs never forgotten the look on Antonioโsย faceย the night they broke up. If thereโs any chance he can repair the damage heโd done, heโs going to take it.
Though they care deeply forย each other,ย Antonio and Scott will need toย forgive and trust again if they’reย to find their way aroundย the obstacles in their path.
