I'm a huge fan of the PTL books, Crash Into You is my favorite! Is there anything specific that inspired you to choose drag racing and kick boxing?

Hi Xanthe,
My characters chose drag racing and kick boxing. :-)
I had to learn how to drive a stick shift in order to write Crash Into You and that experience terrified me. But I will say that going down the drag way was seriously cool.
And the kickboxing...the person who taught me continuously teased me because I'd have to pause to remember which of my hands was my right and my left.
Both books were inspired by scenes that I saw in my head while I was exploring my characters. I let my characters tell me where they want the story to go.
Thank you,
Katie

I just finished reading Say You'll Remember Me, and it almost left me in tears, and it did leave me feeling exhilarated and with happy tears pooled in my eyes. But, will you write a story for Axle, Dominic, Holiday, Kellan, or Marcus, even Henry? I can't choose whom I want a story on though!
