David Lucero asked Jessica Titone:

What was your inspiration to become a writer?

Jessica Titone I was a shy kid who filled her time with elaborate solo pretend-play and reading books. Our local library was small. It wasn't long before I devoured all of the books appropriate for my age. I kept finding that the stories that I wanted to hear either didn't exist or were beyond my reach. (Keep in mind that these were the days before the internet.) So, I decided to invent my own. I wrote them longhand in the remainders of old school notebooks, by flashlight, when I was supposed to be sleeping. Things sort of just evolved from there.
