HI! What would you say the setting of your book "Love, Life, and the List" is? I love all your books and I get a new one every year. I started collecting them in fifth grade. I have always loved to write books and I started since I was very young, any advice on how to start a book especially love ones ( that's what I'm stuck on).

Kasie West Thank you for reading my books. The setting of that one (and many of my books, actually) is the central coast of California. Most of my books take place in fictional towns that I make up for the story, but the general area is a beach town in California. Advice on writing love stories? Well, think of a way two people might meet. Think of what they'd both like to accomplish in their lives. Think of what might keep them apart. Then spend the book trying to help them get together despite the odds. That's obviously a really basic formula (and there are other formulas) but it's a good place to start. And the more you practice writing, the more unique and different you can make things.
