My next-door neighbor, Vivian, is a teen with arthritis. I wanted to write a book with a teen who had arthritis (Monika). I also wanted to write about a teen who has a parent who doesn't have any faith in them - I've had a few friends who have had parents who told them they were stupid or worthless. It does affect them and my character Victor has parents who don't support him. I won't give away anything else, because the book is coming out soon! :)

I love all of your books. From the how to ruin series, perfect chemistry series, paradise and wild cards. Currently re-reading them all again for the millionth time. They're all unique and tell such different, interesting stories. How do you come up with your ideas? Huge fan and aspiring writer inspired by your stories. :)
