Elizabeth asked Julie Klassen:

My grandmother and I loved your books. We would share them with each other. She passed away 2 years ago but everytime I see one of your books it reminds me of her. Those are great memories. Thanks :) Do you base your characters on people you know in real life?

Julie Klassen Hi Elizabeth. Sorry for the tardy reply. Just finished revisions for my December book, and now I'm catching up with other things, like your fun question. So glad to hear you and your grandmother shared my books. How special is that?!? Thanks for letting me know. And, no, in general, my characters are not based on people I know in real life, though sometimes I am inspired by biographies of real people. Thanks for asking!
