Fifteen years is a long time in book years! As a writer myself, I struggle with how is this character going to evolve and change --physically and emotionally--over sometimes a matter of weeks or months-- I have yet to tackle a year/years, but it's coming in my new book. What are some of the things you considered when writing Hannah-- or more specifically, what are the things you thought about and did to convey this growth, evolution, maturity in her--over fifteen years--her voice, her mind set?

What are your guilty pleasure reads? Do you find yourself perusing the drugstore aisle for the latest paperback with Fabio splashed across the cover? or perhaps is there chick lit or whodunit murder mysteries wedged between your mattresses? And as a follow-up, which works of "literary genius" do you loathe? The ones you know you're supposed to adore and marvel at their greatness, but you personally can't stand? any writers you know should make you swoon but instead make you wondering what all the fuss is about?
