If you could ask a favourite author just one question, what would it be?
To pretty much any author... how/where do you find your inspiration? And do you know the ending to the story when you first sit down to write it or does it figure itself out along the way?
If an author gave you the chance to rewrite or to change the fate of a book character, who would you chose?
Did your parents read stories to you when you were little? If yes are there any special ones you remember the most?
My parents spend a great deal of time reading to me and I think it’s why I love books so much now. Some of my early favorites included Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Nancy Drew, Little House on the Prairie. But as I got into my tween years, my mom would give me books such as The Diary of Anne Frank, Clan of the Cave Bears, and Pillars of the Earth. Nothing was off limits. Those books have definitely shaped who I grew up to be.
What do you like more the smell of old antiquarian books or the smell of new fresh ones you just bought?
Old books for sure. The smell of old book shops and libraries are my favorite places to be. The smell of those places is right up there with the smell of home. In fact, if there were a candle called "Old Book Shop", I would buy it.
You get the opportunity to choose between two secret talents: either to be able to make things come to life through reading them or the gift to read yourself into a book. Which one would you like to have?
Oh goodness. This talent would definitely make me choose my books more carefully. The Hunger Games would be a very dangerous book. I would choose the ability to read myself into a book.
Do you have a favourite children’s book or a favourite fairy tale?
The Secret Garden
Someone would talk to your friends and ask them to compare you to a book character. With who do you think would they compare you?
Hmmm. I would love to hear the answers to this question. It would be very enlightening. Anne of Green Gables or Jo March come to mind.
Tell me the name of a writer who you would like to have as a friend.
Yeh, I like to have lots of friends, a whole posse of them - Elizabeth Kostova, L.M. Montgomery, William Faulkner, Isabel Allende, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Patricia Cornwell
You can hide in a written down world for only one night into which world do you escape?
Oooh, I love this question. Very Midnight in Paris. Gatsby's party would be pretty awesome. Or maybe an evening in Barcelona in Shadow of the Wind.
You have to flee to an unknown place and all you can take with you are three books of all the ones you own. Which three ones do you put into your bag?
This is looking choosing my favorite children. Very hard! Harry Potter because since the moment I read it, I knew that I wanted to someday read it to my children, who had not even been born yet. Anne of Green Gables because she reminds me that it it okay to be a spirited and feisty lady who sometimes says the wrong thing. Exodus by Leon Uris because it shows both the best and worst of human nature while weaving hope all the way through the story.
