While I don't read a ton of fan fiction, I totally support it. I love how creative it can be.

Jamie is going to study art and design. I don't know if Mason has picked a major just yet.

Lincoln High was modeled after Borah High in Boise (but with some of the issues borrowed a nearby school district). Here's the Borah Marching Band on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trps9...

Jamie is taller than Mason.

If a fan would like to draw one, I'd be happy to share it with their permission!

Sami,
Two things. One was that I was talking with a young friend of mine while waiting for an event at her high school to start. We were walking around the campus inspecting the damage done by the senior prank the night before and she said, "you'd never guess what happened in government class today." My heart hit the sidewalk as I imagined being one of those two students in her class.
The second was that, at the time, I had been reading a lot of very good—but also very heartbreaking—LGBT YA fiction. These novels made me stop and think, what about writing a sugary sweet LGBT romance? One with a happy ending. My editor was game and so FAN ART was born.

Saakshi,
There are so many great YA books it's hard to think of which might be a good fit for you to read. If you like novels in verse, however, I do have a list of titles on my website (sarahtregay.com/novelsinverse). Maybe start there?

My community here in Boise has writing workshops. I find these a great way to ease back into writing after a case of writer's block. The facilitator might share a poem or bit of prose, and after a short discussion he or she will read a prompt to get us writing. We'll write for eight or ten minutes and go around the room and read from our drafts and comment on what we like about each others' writing. Often I'll come away with a new idea or a poem to revise. Plus, it's great to meet other writers.

Great question Matthew! I don't have a sequel planned--mostly, because Jamie and Mason are heading off to college and sadly they won't really be YA characters any more... which is my little niche. Although I do think switching to Mason's POV would make for a good novella. I'll have to think about it. :-)
