"Hi Nejla (what a lovely name!)--
I certainly get the point, and oh, my, did I let it out in Shadow Souls. Ты are right. I was just telling a Swedish reader that Ты should always follow your сердце and in SS I did follow my heart. I didn't think anyone would like the book because it was about another dimension and the girls were slaves--my publishers tried so hard to cut that out, but I felt that Damon was еще mature when he had a "family" to care for. With that book, I followed my сердце in everything.
There are some Stelena scenes, too, and I meant them; I felt them. But Чтение it over was like a whack over the head. I still think it's the best book I've written since the original Vampire Diaries. And I do have to admit that the romance sort of sizzles about Damon and Elena. But whatever would I do with poor Stefan?
I'd better introduce some girl characters fast. But please remember, the endgame may not come for a while. I am at the mercy of Alloy Entertainment and Harper Publishers for this for the original Книги were "written for hire." That means that I was a desperate young writer who would sign over all my rights, just to get published and be promised that I'd see my Книги in actual bookstores. (Despite good reviews, this didn't happen with my first two books, Solstice and Valor.) So I don't own many rights in regard to The Vampire Diaries, and have to fight, tooth and nail, to have my own plots.
Would anyone possibly consider the "Katherine" solution? Elena is with Stefan for the день and with Damon for wild, wild nights? After all, men do it. They just don't mention their mistresses to their wives. Elena, being еще honest would want to be forthright about her choice. или maybe she gets pregnant with Damon's baby...
In any case Ты have excellent English. I don't even know where Ты are from. But thanks for a thoughtful and passionate email!

Oh my goodness! :O
What do Ты guys think?
Ты are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring Ты down
Ты are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring Ты down
Don't Ты bring me down today...
2. Kelly Clarkson - Sober
And I don't know
This could break my сердце или save me
Nothing's real
Until Ты let go completely
So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving
So here I go with all my fears weighing on me
3. Maria Mena - Just Hold Me
And why can't Ты just hold me?
And how come it is so hard?
And do Ты like to see me broken?
And why do I still care?
Still care...
4. Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Розы Grow
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face...
