Nic at Irresistible Reads recently read and reviewed Freefall. Happily for me, she really enjoyed it. She wanted to know more, so we did an interview (her first author interview ever!). Nic is also running an international contest to win a copy of Freefall. All you have to do to enter to win is fill out her form at the bottom of the interview before December 6, 2010. Good luck! :-)
I've rounded up a few more guest blogs and interviews that have popped up recently. Enjoy! Guest Blogs
LITFEST Magazine - The craziness of vegetarians (yes, I am one). Melissa Walker's blog - Cover Stories: Freefall (where I share some inside scoop about my book's cover)
Interviews Book Chic - Fresh New Voice of YA (find out my favorite TV show, Jelly Belly jelly bean flavor, and job that I've had. Through the Looking Glass - Inside the Writer's Studio (what am I working on now and what turns me on and off?) Wastepaper Prose - Author Insight (This is actually a weekly feature where several authors each answer the same question. You can click the Author Insight Series label at the bottom of the post to read many more questions and answers.) Jen Nadol's Blog - Book Briefs (Brief questions, brief answers, all about books!) Number One Novels - Interview (Includes a very detailed description of what inspired me to write Freefall.)
I'm writing guest blogs on Mondays for LITFEST magazine during the month of November. So far, I've written about Life Above the Basement and How an Opening Band Stole she Show... and My Heart. If you check out the blogs and then send a quick email to editor [at] litfestmagazine [dot] com, you'll be entered to win a copy of Freefall. It sounds like there will be a new winner each week, so there are still three chances at this time. :-)
I let this feature slide for a few weeks, but I've now typed up more diary entries from when I was a teen. One new entry will be posting every Monday moving forward. (I have them in the queue until mid-January, so that gives me time to add even more in the coming months.) Now that my diary from age 13 is finished, everything I post now will be chronological from age 14 on.
In this week's installment, 14-year-old Mindi ponders her feelings for a certain boy named "Curt." This is going to be a recurring theme for quite a while! :-)
