      He was very much based on my niece and nephew–right down to the obsession with whatever game he’s playing on his iPad.

    I agree that kids in stories can not seem real. I find they either portray as much younger than I would expect or as you say, wise beyond their years. Looking forward to reading Taylor -I do have the book on my tbr!!

    I can totally relate with you on that matter, Lisa. I, as a reader, usually avoid books with one of the MCs being a single father. They remind me too much of MF novels about ‘hot single dads’, to be completely honest. Not that I hate MF novels. What I hate is the overuse of the said situation.

    I feel like kids were plot devices rather than people with emotions (even if they actually part of dialogues in the story). However, you’ve done the part of Taylor very well. You’ve made him real. And he was as vital as the other MCs of the story. *beams*

      Aw, thank you so much! I’m so glad that Taylor worked for you as his own character and not just as a plot device.

    Thanks for the post. I kind of can relate I don’t really like reading stories with kids in it because I son’t feel like they’re portrayed correctly. They always seem to be extremely bratty and spoiled or extremely wise beyond their years. I understand it can be hard to remember how a kid at a certain age should act but it really throws me off as a reader. The balance shouldn’t be one or the other, there are kids who are between those two spectrums.That being said don’t exactly hate stories with children in it but I don’t exactly seek them out either.

      I based a lot of Taylor’s behaviour on my own nephew when he was that age, and my niece, who still is that age! Hopefully that helps get the balance right, but I’ve definitely read some stuff where the kid is either really bratty or Too Precious To Be Real, and they’re not my favourite.

    Congrats, Lisa, and thanks for the kid background. I also don’t read many stories with kids. I like reading YA, but find that those too can be unrealistic (what adult m/m readers want the teens to be like, angst and all). But I do like them if they are just regular kids, like in yours. – Purple Reader,

      I find so many YA characters are way too wise beyond their years. I certainly wasn’t that smart as a teenager! I made ALL the bad decisions… 🙂

    Congrats on the release, Lisa. I agree, it is tricky to write kids… We tend to make them too mature or too childish, it is difficult to get that balance right!
