Kylah Mitchell asked April Henry:

I absoulutly loved your book Two truths and a Lie!! I couldn't do anything until i finished it. What inspired you to write that?

April Henry I was at a literacy conference in Nebraska one February. I did my keynote talk but the room where I was supposed to sign books was empty. The whole event was at this weird confusing hotel, so I went to the lobby thinking I had gotten lost again. Instead, people were running through it saying everyone was leaving immediately because a blizzard was going to blow in and trap everyone at the hotel for three days. I panicked because I had flown there. But I also immediately thought I wanted to have a group of teens trapped there after a blizzard forces them off the road. I did a lot of research into theater kids and competition for that book. Oh, and stage hangings.
