LIKES, DISLIKES AND A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL!

1. You had a whirlwind book tour, 2 weeks and 10 cities. What was your favorite thing about meeting your fans?
Beginning the tour, I didn't really know what to expect. It was a bit intimidating looking over the schedule of all the stops we were making, but then the tour began. No matter how tired you are from the travel or lack of sleep, arriving at a book store with 1,000+ people waiting for you will make you forget. Every person was so kind and happy to be there. It was such a pleasure meeting everyone who came and now I can't wait until my next tour!

2. Congratulations on selling the movie rights to L.A. Candy! We would kill to know some details. Do you have any exclusive info you can share?
We are in the very early stages right now, but I am looking forward to all I am going to learn thoughout the development of this movie. Stay tuned for more...

3. In Sweet Little Lies, Jane escapes to Mexico to get away from the media circus. What do you do/where do you go to get away from it all?
My favorite place to go for a quick getaway is Cabo. That is actually why I sent Jane there in L.A. Candy. It's a beautiful place, full of remote resorts, and it's a quick flight from L.A. If I ever had to make a quick getaway, Cabo San Lucas would be my first stop.

4. I love the titles of the chapters! Like "Just Another Guy" or "Is That Girl From That Show?" How do you come up with these?
The chapter titles are actually lines within the chapters themselves.

5. Now that we all know the characters, what is your favorite thing about each of them? [Jane, Scarlett, Madison, Braden, Jesse.]

    Jane:     She can be a bit naive, but tends to see the good in people.     Scarlett:     She is intelligent and very strong, but if you are one of the few that she trusts enough to let in, you'll see a softer side of her.     Madison:     As you learn more about Madison, it's easier to understand her. She is shallow, bitchy, and conniving, but she isn't heartless.     Braden:     He is sweet and laid-back. He basically represents everything Hollywood is not.     Jesse:     He is the bad boy that everyone loves. He is good-looking and charming...with a darker side.

6. Can you give us a hint about what Madison is hiding?
Madison is hiding her past. She isn't the person everyone thinks she is, and there is someone out there who is threatening to expose her for who she really is.

7. So you're busy working on the next book in the series. Can you give us an inside scoop?
The next book is titled Sugar and Spice. It continues the story of the girls and the increased impact the show is having on their lives. In this book, Sugar and Spice, not everyone is nice.
