an email from "Jacinta.Parksons.abcmelbourne@gmail.com" that reads "Dear Camryn, I hope hope you’re well. My name is Jacinta Parsons, and I host conversations on ABC Radio Melbourne, where I speak with authors about their work and the ideas behind it. What stood out to me in your work, particularly in Friday I’m in Love, is the energy and warmth in Mahalia Harris’s journey as she navigates identity, belonging, and the desire to celebrate herself on her own terms. The idea of a coming-out party as both a personal milestone and an act of joy brings a refreshing and empowering perspective, while the balance of romance, friendship, and real-life pressures gives the story both heart and relatability. I’d love to talk with you about how you approached capturing Mahalia’s voice and experiences, and how you balance themes of self-discovery, love, and cultural identity. I’m also interested in how you developed the story’s blend of romantic comedy elements with deeper reflections on community, expectation, and personal growth. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d be delighted to arrange a time that suits you in the coming weeks. Warm regards, Jacinta Parsons ABC Radio Melbourne"
