      What is your favorite couple from your books and why?

      That's hard. Pattyn and Ethan... pure love. Ditto Andrew and Eden. But I also kind of love Cara and Dani and Shane and Alex.

      Have you ever considered writing about talking to random on the internet and things than can happen in doing that? I haven't finished all of your books, so if you've already written about that sorry!

      I have not written about it, but it's a great idea. Thanks for mentioning it.

      someone asked a question on here once and you said that was his name

      Oh... that makes sense. I just couldn't remember talking about that part of the book before. He's cute, in a nerdy sort of way.

      I saw on Facebook that you'll be in NYC on March 19th! Excellent, I've always wanted to meet you! And, correct me if I'm wrong, but is the event with David Levithan as well?

      Yes, and several others, too. At the 42nd Street Branch, 6-8 p.m.

      Do you think it's bad for someone with three children to smoke weed everyday? Someone who complains that they don't have enough money, but then buys high-grade weed quite often?

      Someone who smokes weed every day at the expense of their family needs to adjust their thinking. It IS expensive and it's also a bit selfish because it takes their attention away from what needs to be accomplished. That's my opinion. I feel the same way about any drug, including alcohol and tobacco.

      I am reading triangles and i literally cannot get over how ridiculous Holly is and how i despise her.

      She has reasons for being the way she is. Most people do. I more feel sorry for her.

      In Perfect, what exactly happens with Andre and Jenna? Does he end up seeing the one girl in his dance class? The cheerleader? Perfect was an amazing book, by the way :)

      He ends up with the girl in his dance class. They partner, in fact.

      Do you feel that loss is positive or negative or both? Why?

      The answer to that depends on a lot of things. What kind of loss? Some things SHOULD be lost. Pain, for instance, or people who are poison. Overall, loss just is. It's something we all experience. Can you grow from it? Yes. Will some losses stay with you forever? Absolutely. Quite the abstract question there.

      I just finished reading Tilt and it was great. It might be one of my favorite books of yours. (: I got it for my birthday and finished reading it a week later. I can't wait for Smoke, Collateral, and Rumble to come out! Will you be coming to San Diego?

      COLLATERAL is out! I hope to get back to San Diego before too long.
