Q: In your books WAKE and FADE, your main character Janie keeps getting sucked into other people's dreams. What made you want to write about dreams and dreaming?
A. I had a dream about being in my husband's dream, watching what he was dreaming about, so that sparked things. Then I did some research about dreams and it was fascinating.
Q: Have you ever had a lucid dream?
A. Yes, many of them. I do what Janie does. (It doesn't always work so well for me as it does for Janie.)
Q: Which actors would you cast in a film adaptation of the movie?
A. I have NO idea. I can't think of anybody. I kind of like India Eisley from Secret Life of the American Teenager because she's sort of mysterious and brooding. I could maybe see her as Janie one day.
Q: Do you listen to music when you’re writing? What kind?
A. Actually, I don't. I like quiet. But I do get inspired by songs when I hear them, and sometimes I'll look them up again when I'm trying to get into a certain mood to write.
Q: What are you reading right now?
A. I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. On my list of things to read are Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey and Graceling by Kristin Cashore.
Q: Who are your favourite authors?
A. It changes daily! But I like Sara Zarr, Robin Brande, A.S. King, Barry Lyga, Neil Gaiman.
Q: What’s your next project?
After the WAKE trilogy is complete (GONE, which is WAKE bk 3, comes out in February), I have a paranormal YA stand-alone novel that's kind of creepy coming up in 2011, also with Simon Pulse.
Q: Do you have any tips or tricks for aspiring writers?
No tricks. Just hard work. Sometimes you just have to keep ploughing through the tough times. Follow-through and persistence is key to finishing a manuscript as well as snagging an agent.
