Katie asked Kristan Higgins:

First off I want to tell you how much I love you and how you are one of my favorite authors. I was wondering if there is any part of the book based on your life, kids, evil boxing trainer, Jill Shalvis? Happy holidays!!

Kristan Higgins Aw, thanks, Katie! Nope, none of my books is based on my life, though I'm sure there's a part of me in every heroine. Whenever I write a child character, from Abby or Charlie to little baby Noah, there's a bit of my kids in there, too. They've been known to make cameo appearances. I might mention a beautiful little girl with French braided hair...and that would be my daughter. The love Lucy had for her niece: my love for my godchild, Julia. That kind of thing. Evil Boxing Trainer has yet to appear. : )
