Goodreads asked R.A. Gates:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

R.A. Gates the book I just finished is the sequel for the first one, Pucker Up. I had to finish Ivy's story, of course. After writing about 75% of it, I realized that her story was going to take 3 books so I stopped writing at a decent stopping point and sent it off to my beta readers. Book 2 is titled Sucking Face. It's the story of Ivy and the gang AFTER they find the cursed Prince Sebastian. The concluding book is titled Lip Smacked. I'm working on that while SF is being reviewed by my beta team. The inspiration for the trilogy is that I was tired of the damsel in distress and wanted to flip the roles so now it's the female character saving the prince.
