Abbey’s last story in the Broken series! It has been four long years of hard work, heart break and pleasure, but now it has all finally come to an end. It is time to say goodbye to Abbey, Cole and Ty. It feels as if I am saying a heart wrenching farewell to some old friends, that is how they seem to me: as real as the people around me. But, like everything in life: all good things come to an end. And it is the end, although there is still one more book to go in the Broken series, and a couple more currently formulating in my mind as possible ideas, Torn, is the last book that will be written from the viewpoint of Abbey, Cole or Ty. I will always feel a special connection to these stories because Broken was the first book I had ever written or published. During the time it has taken me to write, polish and perfect these stories, I have grown in confidence and learnt a huge amount about being a writer.

Why did I write Torn? After Shattered, there were so many unanswered questions. What would Abbey do next? She had already had such a hard year coming to terms with Coles death and having a baby, would she really be able to leave Ty and the ghost of Cole behind, and start a new life free from the shadow of Coles death? What would that life look like? What would she do?

 Then there was Ty. I decided it was important that Ty tell his story. Why did he spend months helping Abbey heal after Cole’s death? Why did he feel bound to Abbey, to help her through such a difficult time when it was clear he had been affected by Coles death too? What would happen when he went to university? Would he ever speak to Abbey again after she walked out on him? Would they ever see each other again?

I have always had a soft spot for Ty. I imagine Ty as one of those guys who is friends with everyone, a likeable person and an all-round good guy. I loved writing his story. He was the light, my knight in shining armour to Cole’s dark, tortured soul. But Cole enthralled me; the depths of his despair, anger and need. He was magnetizing and I felt he should have the final say in Torn after being such a big part of all three books.

I would love to hear what you think. Who do you like best? Abbey, Cole or Ty? Which book is your favourite book?
