What sort of music do you think Twice Burgundy would make? Are there any real-life bands that you think they would sound like?Ĭait: They were inspired by listening to Imagine Dragons and Civil Wars! I’m really honoured people have gone and looked up their music and been disappointed they didn’t exist. Speaking of A Thousand Perfect Notes, I was recently reminded by your Instagram story of the fictional band that you came up with for the book, Twice Burgundy.

It gets dark fast towards the end, but I also tell the story of a quiet, stolen summer of watermelon and blue skies and falling in love.Īnnie: Haha, I was absolutely one of those people. But unlike ATPN, The Boy Who Steals Houses has a lot more light and fun scenes. I love to write books that will make people both laugh and cry. (I looooove you all too!) I will slyly confirm similar reactions may occur while reading The Boy Who Steals Houses. Which elements from your debut, A Thousand Perfect Notes, can readers expect to see in The Boy Who Steals Houses as well, and what new and exciting things will we experience for the first time in your sophomore novel?Ĭait: A lot of people finished ATPN and proceeded to yell at me. This was amazing for improving my writing and learning to listen!Īnnie: The Boy Who Steals Houses is your second published novel. I met other writers through blogging (including my critique partners) and also have spent years honing my analysing skills and listening to other bookworms discuss and critique books. I’m glad I immersed myself in the book blogging world for so long though.

Which is funny to me, because I started blogging to fill in time between writing drafts and querying for an agent (back in 2013!). What are some of the biggest challenges and benefits that have come out of being both a book blogger and a published author? How has being a blogger impacted you as a writer, and vice versa?Ĭait: I do feel like I’m probably known as a blogger first, author second, haha. Keep reading for behind-the-scenes info about her new book, and more!Īnnie: Hi Cait, and welcome! I’ll start off with a question about blogging and its relationship to writing, as I know many of your readers know you from both your blog and your books.

Cait is one of my most favorite authors/bloggers and I am so, so excited to have her here today. Friends!! I have exciting news! In today’s blog post, I have the honor of sharing an interview with YA author and book blogger extraordinaire, C.G.
