Welcome T.R.!

Thank you very much Yara, not only for your great review, but also for featuring this interview and hosting the Being giveaway.

OUaT: How did the idea for Being come to you?

I was watching a television show about unexplained lights in the sky when a thought occurred to me: What if some of the incidents people report were really wayward extraterrestrial teens attempting to make contact with us.

OUaT: If Being were picked up for a movie, who do you picture playing EBN?

I’d like for Saoirse Ronan to be considered for the role.

OUaT: When you wrote Being, did you expect or plan for readers to come away with the message of Keeping the Earth clean?

Yes, I certainly hope they will. The manuscript was near completion when the Gulf Oil Spill Crisis hit. That disaster sickened me (and still does), so I had to weave that thread through the story.

OUaT: Who was your easiest character to write in the series and who was the hardest?

Oooh. EBN’s (Ee-ben) was the easiest. Aix (Ace) started out as the easiest but became the hardest.

OUaT: Did you design the cover to Being?

My husband and I designed it together, although he deserves most of the credit. However, the background image is a photograph I shot a few years ago on vacation.

OUaT: If you could jump inside any book and live in that world, which book would you choose?

I would LOVE to be a Twilight vamp for real!!!!

OUaT: What do you find appealing about the genre you write for?

It suits my narrative voice, plus there’s such a wide variety of stories told within the genre. Furthermore, I’m inspired by harder-edge YA books that contain warnings for kids, like those written by Ellen Hopkins.

OUaT: If you could choose one superpower like EBN has in your book, what super power would you choose?

I would choose the ability to heal with touch. Our world would be a better place if I could do that J

OUaT: Do you believe we are not alone in this universe?

I did (and continue to do) a ton of research on the subject and I find it hard to accept that we are alone, although until I meet an extraterrestrial, I remain cautiously skeptical. Some of the world’s top scientists say it’s mathematically impossible that humans are alone for two reasons: the sheer size of our ever-expanding universe (I almost typed multi-verse, lol) and the fact that successful biology tends to repeat itself. Since those scientists are WAY smarter than me, I tend to believe them.

OUaT: Do you have a favorite movie about Aliens?

E.T. hands down. I still cry every time I watch it.

OUaT: How can a reader contact you, or purchase your books?
