But please stay until the end, because we have an awesome giveaway at the end for all of you!!
*lill squee*
Julie: The Iron King took me a little under two months to finish, since I wrote it for NaNo Wrimo, where you have to write 50,000 words in 30 days. At that time, Harlequin Teen was just beginning to cast their net for submissions, and bought in within a few weeks.
Julie: I wanted to write a Faery book that was a little bit different, but yes, I’ve always loved the Fey.
Julie: Right now, I’m working on a young adult series about vampires. 
Julie: NEVERMORE by Kelly Creagh. It was excellent!
Julie: Well, I first wanted to be a veterinarian. But then I discovered the uber amounts of science and math required to become one, and since numbers hate me, I figured I’d give this author thing a try. I had this ridiculous notion that I could write and publish a book before I went to collage. Yes, you may stop laughing now.
Julie: Some writers will readily admit that they love making their characters suffer; that the more their hero or heroine struggles, the more sympathetic they are to the reader. Unfortunately, I am one of those writers. 
Julie: Most of my research I did online, but the nice thing about faeries is: there are so many stories and legends about them. Puck, for example, is always a prankster, but in some stories he’s shown as evil and malicious while in others he’s friendly and helpful. So there’s no set personality to ‘match’ him to. The same goes for most other faeries.
Julie: He looked at me funny. (Also, he might’ve knocked me down.)
Julie:
1. I’m a Libra.
2. I once had a pet tarantula.
3. I swam with a sea turtle in the ocean.
4. I trained a cat to sit, lie down, and roll over.
5. I’m a video game nut.
Julie: Just thanks for the interview!
I am sooooo Team Ash..*swooon*

If you like them, please feel free to grab them!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! *ahem* Sorry. These books just have that effect on me.
I am so torn between Ash and Puck it's not even funny. Just after finishing The Iron Daughter, I was like, "Ash all the way!" But the more I thought about it later, the more I realized there is likely much more going on with Puck than what we've been shown. Can. Not. Wait. For book three.
Two hands up: one for Ash, one for Puck.

It's funny, because I already stalk Kagawa, I kind of already knew a lot of her answers. I've read many interviews with her, yet she always fascinates me.
I can't wait for The Iron Queen and the new vampire series.

Oh, that's absolutely too cool! My mind actually went blank with shock (this is sooooo generous, if that's not obvious enough). I love Julia's writing, and I'm sadly on a fence between Ash and Puck. Who could actually decide among them is beyond me.
But I really have my fingers and toes crossed!
