Caitlyn asked Sherrilyn Kenyon:

Hey Ms Kenyon. You use a lot of words of wisdom in your books. Like, 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should' etc. Are they things you think of and decide to write or sayings you have read/ been told that have inspired you or helped you? Your books have helped me get through a lot of hard times and I can never thank enough for that. I really wish i could meet you one day. Much love from Nz.

Sherrilyn Kenyon Many of them come to me while writing such a, "If you're going to rattle my cage, you better make sure I'm padlocked in it." And some are things I grew up with my mother saying to me, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" and "I'm going to curse you like a slow-walking dog." There's actually a lot of my mom in many of books. And I hope things are better for you. I've had a really hard past, too, and I'll keep you in my prayers!
