We are so excited to spotlight Anna Todd, one of many Apollycon 2017 attending authors. If you haven't read any of her books, now is the time to pick her infamously favored series, After.

Thing you're most excited about for Apollycon 2017

I’m the most excited to meet the readers and hang out with all of the authors. I’ve never been to Apollycon before and I’m so, so excited and honored to even be invited! I can’t wait. Plus, it’s in Florida, so the weather should be great.

Last book you read:

I’m finishing The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons right now and I’m so not ready for this story to be over. The Summer Garden is the third book in the Bronze Horseman Trilogy and it’s one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. Shura, the main male character, has quickly made his way to my top 3 favorite book characters OF ALL TIME. This trilogy is so heartbreaking and beautiful and so poetically written and the emotions just jump off of the page. I have been stalling to finish it because I’m not ready to say goodbye to Tatiana and Shura. *cries*

Last thing that made you cry:

The book I mentioned above :P During the first one, I cried a little, it was sad, but the second and third were even worse. I’ve been tortured by this author, but I’ve loved every second of it.

Best moment as an author:

I have so many amazing moments as an author. I still can’t believe that I’m even an author! I could have never imagined my life to turn out this way and I have to pinch myself at least once a week. If I had to choose, I would say that my favorite moments are when I hear from readers that my books have made them read more, or even write their own stories. There’s nothing better to me than my words somehow inspiring someone.

Favorite place in the world:

My house. I just moved to Los Angeles from Austin and since the move, I’ve been traveling most of the time. Well, this whole year I’ve been traveling :P I love to travel and to meet so many amazing readers from around the world and I’m already filling up my schedule for next year, but I sort of forgot how much I love quiet nights in. My perfect night would be drinking wine with my husband and watching t.v.

ANNA TODD is a first-time writer spending her days in the Austin area with her husband, with whom she beat half the statistics by getting married one month after graduating high school. Between her husband's three deployments to Iraq, she worked odd jobs from a makeup counter to the IRS processing counter. Anna was always an avid reader and boy band and romance lover, so now that she’s found a way to combine the three she’s enjoying living a real-life dream come true.
