1) I have just finished reading Casey Barnes Eponymous. Can I say that Casey knows her music or what? So are you a music wiz or did you do alot of research for the novel?Yes, Casey definitely knows her music. Music is how she makes sense of the world. I am very into music as well. I used to write songs and be in a band. I listened to a lot of music while writing this book and whenever I found a song that was particularly inspiring I would include it.
2) So, did you sit down and write out a diagram to help form the novel or did you just let your words flow onto the paper?
For my first draft of the novel I let the words flow. Then I realized the plot needed to be tighter so I did a diagram and a pretty extensive rewrite. That draft worked a lot better than the first. For the next novel I am definitely writing an outline before starting the book.
3) Who is your favorite character in the book after Casey- if she is your favorite?After Casey I think I like Clayton Gould the best.
4)What is your favorite band/ singer?
That is hard to answer. It changes as I go through life and get exposed to different artists. I saw Edward Sharpe play last summer and it was one of the most amazing live shows ever so I'd say I'm a big fan of his. I love Feist. Her new album rocks. I've gotten really into The Cure (again) lately. Crazy old school and crazy amazing.
5) So, do you have a most obsessed fan yet?
I don't have a most obsessed fan yet but people really seem to be liking the book, which makes me very happy.
