Hi Kasie, I have joined Blog tour which is a huge project of czech and slovak bloggers. We ask our favorite authors and than publish their answers on our blogs. So, I have a little question. Were you afraid that you might fail when you started writing? And what do you think about reaction to your books? And secondly, I absolutely love your book The Distance Between Us. Thank you for writing it. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed TDBU. :) Now, to your questions. Was I afraid of failure? Well, at first, I didn't know how afraid I should be. I didn't realize how hard the industry was. So I kind of wrote my first book in ignorant bliss. But when I tried to query it to agents and received my first rejection letter in 7 minutes, followed by many more, that's when I got a pretty good idea. It was an uphill battle from there. And yes, I was afraid it would never happen.
As for your second question, reader reaction. I've been very happy with the amazing readers out there. I am bit surprised just how much people seem to love my books. I mean, I love them, of course, but I didn't think anyone could match my feelings. So yes, I've been very happy and flattered. :)

Okay sorry for being annoying and asking ANOTHER question, but I’m selfish and just had to know the answer. So in your books “The Distance Between Us” and “On the Fence”, a teenage girl dancing in a mirror is briefly mentioned. Are you planning to make a book for that character or if there was some significance to the dancer? Though she was only mentioned in those two books, I just really wanted to know. :)

I have been waiting for The Fill-In Boyfriend and I've to say that it was definitely worth it, you never fail us. I just want to say that I love your books because they're not just YA romance books, there is always something more, and that's what makes you different than any other writer. That's what makes you brilliant. Thank you for making me so happy and excited and for being such a great writer. ?
