How did you come up with the idea for Beautiful Disaster?
I wrote Beautiful Disaster for fun while editing Providence. Beautiful Disaster was never meant to be published. I didn’t think it had a strong, intricate plot like Providence, so at the time I thought it was fluff no one would read. Beautiful Disaster was made up of several of my own college experiences mixed in with a lot of fiction. I wrote it for myself and a couple of girlfriends, wrote it the way I wanted without the pressure of considering that anyone else would read it. As the other novels I’ve written always seem to, Beautiful Disaster molded into what it is today while I was writing. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t contemplate the plot or characters. I just wrote.
Why is the 13 on Chapter 13 scribbled out, and replaced with 14?
Abby hates the number 13 (Lucky 13), and the book is from her point of view, so when I got to chapter 13, I thought it just made sense as Abby telling the story that she would want to cross it out.
Will there be a sequel to Beautiful Disaster / Walking Disaster?
Almost Beautiful is technically the sequel to Beautiful Disaster because it picks up right after they return from Vegas, however, it includes information that will mean more to you if you read the Maddox Brother Series, first. Buy it here.
What is Walking Disaster?
Walking Disaster is not a sequel, but it is the companion book to Beautiful Disaster— the story from Travis’s POV. You can expect to see a lot of new things in WD, and a great look into Travis & Abby’s future.
When will Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster/Beautiful Oblivion be available in my country/language?
Currently, Beautiful Disaster has been translated in over 50 languages.
What is the significance of the blue butterfly on the covers?
Justin McClure designed the cover for Beautiful Disaster, and his interpretation was very literal: Butterfly in a jar = beautiful disaster. When I commissioned Damon of Damonza.com to design the cover for Walking Disaster, I wanted some form of continuity, and we both felt the butterfly was the best visual component to carry over. A lot of people ask me if Travis really has a butterfly tattoo, and the answer is: probably not. But for the purposes of the cover, the symbolism works.
Can I get a print copy of Beautiful Disaster with the original tongue cover?
No. Unfortunately, that cover was never in print.
Beautiful Oblivion FAQ
I loved the book, but didn't understand the ending. What was T.J.'s secret? ((answer has possible spoiler))
First I will ask you: Have you read Walking Disaster's epilogue? Second: did you read Beautiful Oblivion to the end? If your answers are yes to both, then think about the last three words in the book. Those words reveal T.J.'s true identity.
When does Beautiful Oblivion take place?
Beautiful Oblivion begins a bit before Beautiful Disaster and ends shortly after.
How did Trenton not know who T.J. really was in such a small town?
Because T.J. took great care to make sure no one knew what he did or that he was dating Cami. There is more than one reason for this, such as T.J. knowing in advance about Trenton's true feelings for Cami.
What about Cami's family and Olive? There wasn't enough closure.
Those are their own stories, and they definitely need and will get another book.
Does that mean a Beautiful Oblivion sequel?
Stay tuned. ;)
