My sweetheart of a friend Danielle Joseph has a new release called Pure Red. I wanted to have her on the blog and do a little interview because she's pretty rad, and I'm super excited about this book and can't wait to read it. :D
So, here's the interview!
Danielle, this book is your third, yes? Do you think it was harder or easier to write?
It was easier because it was actually one of the first books that I wrote but I sold it third. After I sold my first two, I did a rewrite and then sold it.
Rock on! It gives us hope that books can still make it out there, even if they don't initially sell. So, if you could take any person to prom, who would it be and why?
I would take you to prom because we would be laughing the entire night! We would probably also rock the dance floor!
Oh, it's ON like diddy kong. I'm totally going to get a dress with a butt bow now. You should know I do a KILLER "sprinkler" move. haha. Okay, a seriously random Q: what's your secret favorite snack that you hide from people and pretend you totally didn't buy so they can't eat it all?
Hot Tamales are one of my favorite snacks. It's kind of silly that I hide them because I don't think anyone in my family would want to eat them.
WOW. I never would have guessed that. I tend to hide anything made of chocolate. Last Q for you: what piece of writing advice has been invaluable to you?
Write from your heart. As corny as it sounds, it works every time!
Thanks so much for being here, Danielle! And for our readers at home, here's a blurb about the book, Pure Red
Orange is for energy, pink means love, and I, Cassia Bernard, do solemnly swear to find pure red—my passion—this summer. Dad's raison d'être is art. When he's painting, no one can reach him, not even me.
I'm giving basketball a chance. But what I really want to score this summer is the adoration of Graham Hadley—a.k.a. Cutebutt. Then when Dad agrees to mentor Graham with his art project, all of Cutebutt's attention is on Dad—leaving me feeling as colorless as the Miami sky on a rainy day. But I'm not giving up just yet.
