The Lovestruck Girly

Scarlett Chase always brings stories with heat, something sweet, and swoon-worthy book boyfriends.

Most of her life revolves around books, she has loved to read her whole life and still does. So much so that she decided to become not only a writer, but an editor too.

When she's not doing something bookish, which is rare, you can find her watching a show or a movie. She says If she had a ton of money, she'd still be doing what she loves as she traveled around the world. 😍😍😍

Please welcome Scarlett Chase!

Can you tell us a bit about you and how you got into writing? 

I was born in SoCal and lived in different cities in Southern California most of my life. Moved to Austin, Texas in 2021 and I can’t wait to move. It’s worse than CA in terms of heat. I have loved reading books since before I could even read. My mom has video proof of me pretending to read when I learned how to sit up by myself. One day a few years back, I was taking a shower and was struck by a book idea which I immediately wrote all of it down when I was done. And like a true Ravenclaw, I researched the shit out of all the writing things before I even started writing. Still wasn’t ready honestly. There was so much I learned after I published.

Did you always know you wanted to be an author?

No I didn’t. I wanted to get paid to read because reading is totally my jam and as fast as I consume books, I’d be raking in that money so hard by now. However, I’ve always had a very active imagination and would sometimes rewrite endings to stuff I read or watched that I didn’t like in my head. The first book idea I had isn’t even the first book I published. I fell down the spicy book hole and went “I’d rather write smut.” Now I have “plans on plans on waffles”, book ideas are coming out way faster than I can write them.

If you could have dinner with any character from your book, who would you choose?

Just dinner? Shame. Honestly, I would totally have a girl’s dinner with my two FMCs: Sofia from my first book titled Between Pages and Sheets and Catalina from my second book titled Anything You Want. They love food probably as much as I do so it would be fun times. 

Do you have any specific writing rituals?

I really don’t. The only “ritualish” thing I do is open up Spotify and start listening to my playlist I named I’m Unstoppable to get pumped before jumping in to write or work (I also edit). But I don’t do it every time so it’s not consistent. If I’m writing, some days I need complete quiet and other times I can listen to music. Usually it’s music that I’m using for that specific scene or the theme song of the book.
