Q: Stephanie, how did you get the idea for the Body Movers series?
A: I'd had the idea for a body-moving duo for a couple of years, but couldn't come up with the right characters to pull it off because I was working on so many other projects. But when I first wrote Carlotta Wren (and mentioned her brother) in the Party Crashers book, I instantly knew I had my duo!
