In your new book SHADOW WEAVER, can you tell my Book Nerd community a little about it and why they should read your novel? That I’m a classically trained soprano and when I was in college I wrote an opera as the equivalent of a senior thesis (the college was Hampshire College, a magical place where they don’t give you grades :P). What’s one thing that readers would be surprised to find out about you? Every book leaves you a little bit changed. That’s one of the most incredible things about books – they allow you to empathize with people who are different and experiencing things outside of your own everyday life. I’m not sure I can pinpoint a single book that’s changed my life, but certainly every book I read changes my perspective a little bit (and sometimes a lot). Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes? I’d fallen in love with writing stories with my first few books and did try to get an agent for a couple of them, but that fourth novel was one that finally got some positive feedback from agents (even if they didn’t feel it was right for them) and that made me think that maybe I really could do this as more than just a hobby. I think I can mark that to around the time I was writing my fourth (never published) novel.
