NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU
DID YOU KNOW #002
Did you know… that the high school the story takes place in is a real location?
Look familiar? You may recognize this from the background of my current promo images, like the HERO image on my home page.
Morton Ranch High School is located in Katy, TX. Their school site states, “Morton Ranch High School is named in honor of the Morton Family Ranch, established in 1896, when Elbert M. Morton and his wife Margaret moved with their family from Missouri to Katy”.
Their mascot is the Mavericks and their colors are Purple and White (sometimes black as well). You can see the influence it had on the cover design of the book. Although the lockers are actually a cream color, I didn’t think that would make for a fun book cover.
The dance squad that Brianna is a part of, The Belles, actually does exist as well. There really is a Director named Mrs. Hunt. She was so kind in helping me with details about her squad and details of their daily/yearly schedules. Mrs. Hunt, if you’re reading this, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Don’t go searching the halls for Brianna or Ricardo, or any of the other characters from the book though, they don’t exist. 😉
