What five words would you use to best describe yourself?
Optimistic, introverted, tentative, observant, intelligent
If you could live anywhere, where would you choose?
I’m willing to give New York another try after I’m finished with college. I didn’t like it at first – too busy, too noisy, too strange. But after a couple of years in Adelaide, where the land and the sea seem to stretch forever, I could use some noise and some busy.
If your life were a movie, what five songs would you want to have on the soundtrack?
My Immortal by Evanescence
What Katie Did by The Libertines
Whenever, Wherever by Shakira
Bitterweet Symphony by The Verve
And of course,
Temporal Tantrum by Shane Anderson
Who would you cast to play you?
I’d really love to cast Emma Watson, but her American accent isn’t too convincing, is it? Maybe my friend Katie Simon could play me in the movie, although I admit that I’m a little terrified of her sense of humor.
What is your favorite book of all time? Why?
I guess I would have to say “The Canterbury Tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer – it’s got everything: romance, adventure, honor, duty; it’s a little hard to read, but once you decode the language, it’s warm and lovely and inspiring. I always find some core of compassion for my fellow human beings inside me when I read it.
What is your favorite book of all time? Why? What is your favorite season?I love Spring. That’s when you feel your blood bubble and want to ride on your toes to go faster. It’s alive.
I received an electronic copy of DREAMWALK as part of a book tour arranged by TEEN BOOK SCENE .
