Interview:

I would like to welcome Stephanie Keyes author of The Star Catcher to Diane's Book Blog.


What is your favorite part of the Star Child series

I loved writing the scene in The Star Catcher where Gabe and Singer go into the organ loft in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. I had a blast writing that scene.

How long did it take you to write The Star Catcher?

I wrote the first draft of The Star Catcher in about twelve weeks. It helped that I worked on part of it during 2012’s NaNoWriMo. It was an insane time. I worked on rewrites for another four months after that.

If you could be best friends with one of your characters, who would it be?

Kellen. He and I share a lot of the same personality traits. Plus, he’s a writer, too. J

What's your favorite book-turned movie? 

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

What do you prefer paperback, hardcover, or ebooks? 

If you’d asked me a year ago, I would have said paper. Then my husband bought me a Kindle. Now I am totally addicted to ebooks. Occasionally, I’ll go back but I am a gadget freak anyway so it was only a matter of time.

Seventeen.

My fiancée Cali, my best friend,  Gabe, my Grandfather, Alistair.

What or who is the greatest love of your life?

Ainmire. He’s a sick piece of crap and he’s going down.

That I couldn’t save my mom.
