Maddie asked Heather Demetrios:

Do you base a lot of your books on events that have happened to you or someone you know, or even things that you wish would happen? By the way, you are amazing!!

Heather Demetrios Hiiiii! There's definitely a part of me in all of my books and sometimes they deal with experiences I've had (like in BAD ROMANCE with my abusive relationship in high school), though I don't think I've ever taken anyone else's experiences. Although, my friends might disagree! Usually the story is sparked by a random idea or image or thought and then I work from there. My fantasy books were started by a prompt and the first thing that came into my head was a jinni who couldn't get out of her bottle, so I ran with it. :)
