Gretchen McNeil Talks TEN

Okay, so today we've got the fantabulous Gretchen McNeil on the blog! She's a super-talented author, and one of my bacon sisters. Don't worry if you don't know what that means. Just read the answer to my last question.

But first, let's talk TEN.

About THE BOOK:
The Twitter version: tell us about your book in 140 characters or less:
Ten teens trapped on an island with a serial killer. Mayhem ensues. (BRILLIANT.)

About THE AUTHOR:
Have you always wanted to be a writer?
Nope. Growing up I wanted to be an opera singer. I pursued that career for many years – including a BA and a MM degree – but it didn't work out. I started writing about five years ago.

What made you decide to go that “extra step” and seek publication?
Well, I'd written a novel that I thought was awesome (it wasn't) and I thought, "Why else would I be writing if not for publication?"

Quick! You’ve been chosen to go on Survivor. What luxury item do you take?
Stilettos. (Ah, yes. Gretchen is the shoe lover I wish I could be.)

And the most important of all: bacon or chocolate?
Elana, you know this answer to the question is ALWAYS bacon. (See? Bacon sisters!)

You need to get this book! Don't believe me? Perhaps you'll believe CHRISTOPHER PIKE???
