intrigued
I think I'm always going to be a paranormal girl at heart. I'm always going to be intrigued by it.
best centers crush friend madison major since
'Tempting the Best Man' centers around Madison Daniels, who's had a major crush on her brother's best friend since she was a girl.
meets ya
'Don't Look Back' is my first YA contemporary mystery/thriller. It's been described as 'Black Swan' meets 'Pretty Little Liars'.
amazing books falling incredible love people realize
I don't think with any book you get used to people falling in love with the story. It's been incredible just to realize your books are being read. It's a pretty amazing feeling.
best crush
My first crush was my brother's best friend.
experience fan jonathan surreal talk wrote
My first celebrity crush was Jonathan Brandis. I even got to talk to him on the phone. I wrote a fan letter, and he answered. Talk about a surreal experience.
Memories, even bittersweet ones, are better than nothing.
music
While I'm writing YA, I can't read YA, and the same with adult. I usually only listen to music while I'm writing YA.
You can make your own way. It's about getting out there and not letting rejection get you down.
cannot constant people wigs
One constant writing ritual, no matter what I'm writing, is that I cannot write if people are around me. It wigs me out - the idea that someone is reading as I'm writing stuff.
freedom november written wrote
I wrote 'Don't Look Back' in November 2011, and when I wrote the novel, it wasn't contracted, so there was a freedom in that - no expectations or anything like that. It was also my first contemporary novel I'd written and sold, which was to Disney/Hyperion in January of 2012.
actual cheesy good movies pick soft spot tv zombie
I have such a soft spot for the really cheesy zombie movies, but if I had to pick a really good one, I'd have to go with an actual TV show and say 'The Walking Dead'.
excited romantic sharing suspense
I can't wait for everyone to read 'Don't Look Back.' It's something very different for me, my first romantic suspense novel, so I'm very excited to be sharing the book, finally.
adult capture feeling grew inspired knew loved novels reading school
All the old school Young Adult novels inspired me. I grew up reading R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike, Richie Cusick, and so on. I loved how you never really knew who the 'bad guys' were in their works, and I wanted to capture that feeling with 'Don't Look Back.'
