I'm not sure if anyone has asked you this before but why did you set the Season's books in Texas? I saw that you spent time in Texas, but why not Kansas or Missouri? HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BTW
Jay Bell
I figured out my sexuality and came to terms with it while living in Texas. I also felt the hot climate was better suited to a romance novel, since that weather really gets me in the mood. The rest of the books have mostly been set there because that's where Ben's life if centered. I never planned for Summer to become a series, so it just sort of played out that way. I set Kamikaze Boys in Kansas though. Like and Subscribe too. Half of Autumn is in Missouri, because I do crave a change of scenery sometimes.

How are you handling the news of the Something Like Summer shoot getting postponed and Ben Bentley getting re-casted? Because I may be panicking a bit. Just a bit though. P.S. Austin would have been the perfect Ben though, singing voice and all. But I really wish him all the best in his budding career. *sigh*

It's not super important, but for some reason it bugs me not knowing, but when are your characters birthday's? I think Jace's is April 2nd 1973. Ben is sometime right before Halloween October 1979, Tim sometime in 1979 between July and August. Jason is sometime in 1990 and William and Kelly are from 1991. I wish one of them had my birthday :/ November 18th 1992 haha ;)
