Hi Kasie! Sorry I’m asking another question, but I just love your books so much! So, I read Lucky in Love on vacation, and let me just say that it was my absolute favorite book of yours! I was wondering... How did you come up with the idea of Maddie (Maddie is actually my name too) winning the lottery? It as such a fun book and I just wondered how it came to be! Thank you for answering my last question, it meant a lot

Kasie West That is so nice to hear! I'm glad you loved this book! I've always been fascinated with the idea of people coming into a large amount of money and the statistic that something like 90% of them spend it ALL within the first five years!! Crazy, right? So yeah, I wanted to give an 18 year old a chance to win tons of money in a book and explore how she would face that. It was fun to research and fun to write. Glad you enjoyed it. And I'm happy you share a name with one of my characters.

Shey asked Kasie West:

Do you have any tips for a young author writing a book? I feel like I have great ideas but I can't always put them to words and write a few hundred pages about it. I always end up getting bored with the story or can never find time to sit down and plan out what will happen.

BookMoth Bab asked Kasie West:

Hello! First of all I really like how you create unusual main characters, not many contemporary's have such divine leaders. My question would be whether you always have the full story made up, or do you just make it up along the way?

Hi! My friend, Kaitlyn, and I are absolutely obsessed with all your books! I haven't read the Pivot Point series though, but I want to as soon as I can. I can't wait for PS I Like You! You are one of my favorite authors; I just love you and your books so much! Sorry I'm going of topic of the actual question. Anyway, are you going to YallWest next year?
