You probably get this question often, (not to sound repetitive), but how did you come up with the idea of the Fall Away series? Love you lots! :D Aastha ;P

Hi, Aastha!
Oh, gosh. I'm not even sure I remember. I think I had read some books like Fall Crest High, Beautiful Disaster, etc. and wanted to write a bad boy, too. Bully was originally a paranormal, though, if you can believe it. It changed a lot during the outlining process. When I started writing it, more characters were introduced, and their stories developed. I didn't really get ideas from anywhere other than taking the time to let my imagination run wild.
Now it's like riding a bike. They just speak to me, and their kids have been very easy to figure out. Can't wait to get started.
Thanks for the question!
