I'm such a huge fan of the Perfect Game series! If you were Cassie, would you have still of chosen to be with Jack despite what happened? What advice would you give to future writers?

J. Sterling Oh gosh. Thanks so much Paige. Um, that is a hard question because I like to think that fictional Jack was truly sorry. He did the wrong things for all the right reasons. He was trying to be noble. But I never questioned his love for Cassie and I do believe that he proved to her how sorry he was, and that he'd never let anything come between them again. So would I have forgiven Jack? If he was anything like fictional Jack, then probably yes. But if he was more like a real guy- it would depend. I'm not above forgiveness when someone deserves it. We all make mistakes. We all do things we aren't proud of. Some people deserve second chances- it's figuring the ones who are worth it and those who aren't.

Advice to future writers? WRITE. Do it for the right reasons though. Do it because you can't imagine NOT doing it. Not for the money. Not for the fame. Not for any reason other than you have a story burning you up inside that needs to get out. You'll know if it's the right thing for you or not, because nothing will make you feel the way following your heart will. :) <3
