Joeliz asked Heather Demetrios:

Hi! I read your book called I'll Meet You There and I just want to say that it was one of the best books I've read honestly. My question is: Did you have any challenges when writing this book? And if there is any books that you recommend about war and soldiers?

Heather Demetrios Hey! Thanks so much for reading - I'm so glad it meant so much to you. I think the biggest challenge was getting Josh's sections right. Eventually, I had to start seeing his parts as poetry. I spent so many hours going over every single word, making each one earn its place. Plus, of course, doing a ton of research to get there. In terms of other soldier books, there aren't a ton of novels, but I really liked Something Like Normal by Trish Dollar, Personal Effects by E.M. Kokie, and The Lucky One and Dear John by Nicholas Sparks.
