One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, "What was your inspiration for this book?"

Sometimes ideas come from dreams (like Rhiannon's relationship with James in Take Me There). Sometimes ideas just burst in (like the plot of Something Like Fate). Sometimes they're based on quirky details from real life (like the dots game in When It Happens). And sometimes my own experiences spark ideas. That's what happened with So Much Closer.

In this bootleg, 99-cents store, garage sale, discount video that I very unprofessionally put together, I share what inspired So Much Closer. Thanks to my friend Elizabeth Eulberg for filming! Note: The lacking quality of this video has nothing to do with her. She is highly profesh.
