Although I have to say- I did read a few criticisms of the first book and realized there were things I could do better. I love to hear that someone enjoyed my book- but to have it analyzed is just painful. The good or the bad- both make me uncomfortable.

I may read a sentence or two to get the gist- then I stop. That’s great story telling and that’s what I aim for. In fact, the stranger the better! As long as the author helped me to enter that world and believe in it. I always liked the feeling when I was younger, of reading a story and thinking “Yes, that could happen to me!” No matter how strange the events. It also means that someone likes your work and wants more- always a good thing!īoth Warped and Revel have paranormal aspects. It some ways it’s a very good thing- it makes a girl step away from the Netflix queue and get cracking. It becomes a commitment to the publisher and the readers to get the job done. It is different to write a book on a deadline, with a contract. What was something different about writing Revel, in comparison to Warped? With each new story I have a feeling of jumping off the high dive board- in a skimpy bathing suit- in front of a crowd…

The level of work, rewriting and anxiety was just the same though. Well this book was with my same wonderful editor, Michelle Poploff from Random House so I knew a bit more of what to expect with the process of editing and how she works. How was the publication process different, the second time around? It’s wonderful and intimidating too, I really hope that readers will like this story as much as they did Warped !

Guibord! Thank you so much for doing this interview with me! I am so excited to pick apart your brain! I absolutely adored Warped, and when I saw that you had another book hitting the shelves, I was beyond crazy excited! So, How does it feel to be a published author AGAIN?!
