Have you ever considered setting the action of your book somewhere in Europe? London, Paris, Rome. This would be such a lovely thing to do. Also, I was wondering - do you always go for happy endings? Life isn't always so optimistic and "Before We Were Stragers" main characters could be less lucky in real life :(

Thank you for the question. Yes, I always think about my travels to Europe and setting a story there. There is small section in the book I just finished that takes place in Paris. I always think about different endings for my books. I think it's satisfying to know there are people as lucky as Matt and Grace, even though for fifteen years I would have described them as anything but lucky. I think it's hopeful. That said, I'll always try to give my characters the ending I feel is right, good or bad.
