Author's Note
I started this story based on a little contest Wattpad threw with Lisa McMann in 2011. So I owe Wattpad for this story. Because of the contest, I got to meet some of the most amazing characters and write the most heartfelt material. I blame my love of the show Entourage and my obsession with One Direction for helping me piece together Tripp's celebrity lifestyle. Boy bands, actors, and plenty of drama? Yes please!
There is no sequel, this is definitely a standalone novel. It's not official, but it could happen. I'm considering writing a prequel in Tripp's POV about his journey from high school to big household name and how he got his start with the Burning Loves. I'd call it Stadium Status if I were to pursue it. For now, there is a story that came to mind about Karleigh Vaughn called A Chord to You. I figured connecting her to this book would be best and kind of cool, heck, Tripp and Chloey may even make a cameo if I see fit. None of the stories are in progress currently, but someday when I have time—more than likely post-Wattpad, I'd be happy to pursue them.
Thanks for reading,
Whitney D. Grandison
