Hello everyone! Time to kick off the Welcome Caller, This is Chloe Book Tour, and to do so, I'm very happy to welcome author Shelley Coriell to the blog today!
Without further ado, here's the interview:
---000---
To start with, why don't you tell us a
little about yourself? I love books. I write books.
I talk to my dog and passionately believe in the power of kindness.
Did you always know you wanted to write YA
books? Nope. I started out writing dark, edgy adult
romantic thrillers with twisted serial killers, but I got to a point where I
needed more light and laughter in my life. Enter Chloe and the quirky gang at
KDRS Radio.
Other than writing books, I heard you are a
journalist. What was the craziest thing that happened to you while being a
journalist? When
I was the editor of a food magazine, I visited a local baker who made a
life-size 3-D cake of Madonna. The crazy thing…the cake looked exactly like the
pop star…bustier and all.
Did any of your experiences influenced
you/made it to Welcome Caller, This is Chloe? The
basic premise of Chloe’s best friend starting rumors and getting the whole
school to ostracize her came right out of my senior year of high school. Happened
to a friend of mine who ended up leaving her high school and enrolling in mine.
Still gives me the shivers.
Could you tell us about Welcome, Caller,
This is Chloe, in your own words? GLEE in a high
school radio station. Chloe has this big, booming personality, and she’s
surrounded by a quirky bunch of radio staff misfits who become like family to
her.
Now if you wouldn't mind answering some
quick questions…
What's your...
Favorite movie? Breakfast
at Tiffany’s. Witty dialogue. New York swank. Unexpected love. The Cat.
Favorite food? Blackberry
cobbler
Favorite animal? My
rescue weimaraner, Rylee, but I collect frogs. Not real ones.
Book crush? Etienne
St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss. Dreamy sigh.
Favorite book you read last year? The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. Exquisite.
Thanks for having me on
your blog, Alex. May your world be filled with good books and great people!
