I found it so funny that the big buff football players had to take care of fake babies! Q: “Are your characters based on anyone you know in real life?”Ī: Nope! But you know that scene in CATCHING JORDAN where Jordan and Henry raise the fake baby for home ec class? We had to do that at my junior high. 😉 And you’ll get to see what’s going on with Jordan and Henry and Parker and Will in RACING SAVANNAH. Jordan Woods may or may not throw a big party in this book. Q: “Will there be a sequel to STEALING PARKER?”Ī: No, but Parker and Will are lead characters in my companion novel, THINGS I CAN’T FORGET.

COMING UP FOR AIR took about a year and a half to write. DEFENDING TAYLOR also took me over a year to write. BREATHE, ANNIE, BREATHE took me over a year to write.
