Did you actually travel to Belize or did you create the Jungle strictly from your imagination. It was very original! what was your inspiration for Jonas, and his hobby of mountain climbing? I totally loved the book!

I did travel to Belize. And I stayed in the exact accommodations mentioned in the book (trying to avoid spoilers) and I traipsed through the jungle and had the exact adventure detailed in the book, with my family. That is why all of that is so detailed. :-) My inspiration for Jonas? Well . . . I can tell you the first image I saw that made me want to write the book. I was watching the movie RUSH, a race car driver movie, on my iPad on an airplane, with strangers on either side of me to whom I had not spoken (with earphones on, I swear). In the first ten minutes of the movie, Chris Hemsworth is buck naked walking toward a bed, leading a naked woman to the bed for sex (sexy beast!), and then he falls onto the bed on his belly. I "rewound" that 5 second scene like literally 10 times and when I finally let it continue playing and let the movie keep going, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked to my right at the woman seated on the plane next to me who had not spoken to me prior and she said, "AGAIN." True story. Anyway, that image was my porn and I couldn't get it out of my head and voila Jonas was born. Of course, further things inspired me as I began writing, but that scene was the inception.

Heyyy! I read all your books and enjoyed them all. I just finished Ball Peen Hammer. As always it was funny, sweet and sexy :)) I am wondering will rest of the Morgan's get their own books (PLEASE say YES)? And also will Reed or Zander get a book? I hope you write a book for all of them :))
