A hilarious interview with the one and only Scott Tracey!
OH are you in for a treat today dear readers! The amazing, stupendous (and in my opinion hilariously funny) Scott Tracey is here today! I challenged him to answer a set of increasingly ridiculous questions, inspired by those terrible and/or questions you find on forms. We at The {Teen} Book Scene call this a “Situational Interview”. Scott definitely not only answered the questions, he delivered laugh-out-loud inducing answers. So enjoy. Don’t drink anything while you read this. I can’t be held responsible if you choke. It’s for your own safety, really. 1) Have you ever driven over 80 miles an…

I’m happy to welcome J.G. McKenney to my blog for an author interview! His book, Eon’s Door was actually just recently reviewed by me and I absolutely adored it. Definitely one of my favorite Fantasy books so far. Lucky for you, he’s brought along a giveaway of said book just for you! 1) Eon’s Door has deep roots into being surrounded by nature. Is that what you set out to write, or did it come organically once you started writing? An interesting choice of words, since Eon is a tree. And, yes, I intended to write a book in which Nature…
