What made you choose Auckland-New Zealand for Jax & Juliet? It's where I'm from and it always give me warm fuzzies when I read a book that mentions our country because we are only 4 million people at the bottom of the earth and I really didn't think people in the US would know where we were.

Penelope Douglas Hi, Mel!

I think I wanted somewhere that had a reputation for great outdoor adventures and somewhere GREEN! I live in Vegas, so when I thought of possibly sending Jax and Juliet to parts of Africa or the Middle East, I passed on it, because I wanted a climate different from my own. Somewhere with lush landscapes and some rain ;) You know how I love rain.

I hope to visit one day!
