Ten Questions That Rock - GCC Style: Melanie Lynn Hauser
It's that time again, cliquesters. P's hanging out with another author in the Clique Lounge. Melanie Lynn Hauser, author of Supermom Saves The World.
P's totally digging that title because she's been known to don the super mom cape now and again.
Melanie, step up to the mic, please!
TCL: Pick one: If you could enter your MC into a MTV-style Celebrity Deathmatch, what protagonist would you challenge and why?
MLH: Oh, definitely - Super Mom vs. Wonder Woman Celebrity Deathmatch! How hot would that be??
TCL: Shoes say a lot about a person, what type of shoe are you?
MLH: I'm a Born casual flip flop kind of a woman - not budget brand, a little expensive, actually - but stylish AND comfortable at the same time.
TCL: What type of writer are you: plot-driven or character-driven?
MLH: I used to be more character-driven, but I sense a shift in my writing, and I'm drawn now more to books with complicated plots. BUT - the character is still where I always start.
TCL: Word association time. What do you think when I say:
Chick-lit Bridget Jones
Best seller 8th Wonder of the World
Best Band EverFleetwood Mac
Most rockin’ authorStephen King
TCL Says: We second that vote for most rockin' author!
TCL: Name the Top 3 books on your To Be Read (TBR) List
MLH: "Hells Belles" by Jackie Kessler; "Broken for You," and "The Adventures of Max Tivoli"
TCL: If you had anything to do with it, what would the next hot lit trend be?
MLH: There would be no one trend; people would start clamoring for books, all books, with the same fervor with which they search YouTube.
TCL: What celeb would you love to see play your MC on the big or small screen and why?
MLH: Can't say, because the first book was optioned for film. So I don't want to tick off whoever might eventually play her.
TCL: Whether it’s because you admire their work or adore them, who’s your author crush?
MLH: Um, I can't think of one! I've met too many authors, and while they're all uniformly nice, very few of them are what you'd call camera-ready!
TCL Says: Ouch!
TCL: What TV show do you watch that you’re ashamed to admit liking?
MLH: "American Idol." Sigh.
TCL: SSP: Tell the cliquesters why your book should be in their TBR list.
MLH: Because my book is about teenagers and their mothers, really; wrapped up in all the shiny, fun superhero stuff, you'll recognize yourself and your mom, I guarantee it. And you might even walk away with a better understanding of each other.
