1. Gem's name was originally Jewels but... I liked Gem better. This started the whole "related to the zodiac signs" names.

2. Totally obvious but most of the main characters names have to deal with their Zodiac... hence Arius, Aris, Aquaria, and Aria.

3. I HAD to reread every chap I wrote before I published it because my autocorrect is confused on whether it should say Arius, Aris, or Aria.

4. Ophelia and Philip were planned from the beginning. But what was their significance? I can't tell you guys, you'll just have to wait.

5. Despite the book being about the main character dating a Scorpio, and her ex being an Aquarius, I've dated neither. HOWEVER I do have close friends from both Signs.

6. I got the idea to write GAS in the middle of the night and stayed up to write the first chap. I had a Spanish test the next day and failed.

7. I can't count how many times I changed the first chapter even after publishing (early fans know the struggle I put them through)

8. Cor was going to have blonde hair. Haha. I changed my mind REAL fast.

9. I hated writing Sage and Taura because I could never tell how to write a Sagittarius. Same way with Virlon and Virginia.

10. Lil bit obvious, I'm a Gemini.

11. If I had to pick a sign besides the one I am now what would it be? Hands down, Libra or Scorpio. Possibly an Aquarius.

12. The zodiacs are older than most religions and were in fact, once a religion in itself. I googled it and got the info from many different sites.

13. Cor was originally going to be Arius's best friend.

14. Gem was originally bullied but I figured, nah that's REALLY cliche.

15. I hate the party scene in the beginning because it feels cliche.

16. I hate cliches.

17. There was originally a book titled "The Leos" about Leona and Leo, BUT I decided it would give too many spoilers to both Forbidden Signs and Forbidden Affection (Prequel).

18. I don't have a book universe name although I should probably start because I feel this adventure isn't over. Wink wink.

19. 20 is skipped. Idk why but I'm tooo lazy to fix it all.

21. Yes, I said my birthday was in May but when tho? MAY-31. Anyone have the same birthday?

22. Almost all ppl in this book are based off a real person.

23. Forbidden Signs is and always will be a big part of my life. So will all of my fans.

24. I don't read horoscopes often, but when I do they're normally true.

25. Aria was originally going to be lesbian not Cora. But I started on Sage and Aria and didn't have the heart to break them up.

26. Which character did I fall in love with the most? Actually, I really love Aria. She was fun to write and in my opinion turned out to be such an amazing character.

27. In chapter 31 Li is reading a book— Gone, that book is actually the first book in the Gone series by Michael Grant A.K.A the book that got me back into reading becuz I had really forgotten how awesome it was.

28. If you're an old fan, you'll remember that the original title was Gemini And Scorpio.

30. Gem's least favorite color is orange. My least favorite color is orange but after this, not so much.

I just figured I'd add this in to like.... I don't know stretch the book out. Lol.

Hope you all have an amazing day and...

Stay happy, stay gold
