Goodreads asked Leah Marie Brown:

How do you get inspired to write?

Leah Marie Brown Many things inspire me to write: reading a great book, chatting with my best writer pal, Cindy Miles, visiting museums, and traveling. I get loads of ideas and inspiration from my annual Girls Only Trips with my two best friends. i write about those trips on my blog, On Life, Love, and Accidental Adventures. http://leahmariebrown.blogspot.com

Many of Vivia's misadventures (the heroine in Faking It and Finding It) are actually my misadventures. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but when you come to the part on the beach in Cannes and the other part with the Buckingham Palace Guards...Um, yeah, that might have happened to me, in a less fictionalized way. :)
