Kim asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

How did you come up with "Love In The Present Tense?" That is one of my all time favorite books.

Catherine Ryan Hyde So happy to hear it's one of your favorites. It's been many years now, and it's hard to go back and track where I was or what I was doing when this story jumped into my imagination. I live in Cambria and was, at the time, doing a lot of house-sitting in Santa Barbara, so that's how the location get into my head. Once upon a time when I was much younger I took a few hang gliding lessons. Other than that I have to say it came straight from the ether as pure imagination.
