We’re less than two weeks away from TeenBookCon! Hard to believe it’s almost here. Today we continue with our meet-the-authors-before-you-meet-the-authors interview series by talking with wonderful Elizabeth Scott.
TeenBookCon: You've written both "light" and "dark" books--can you say which you prefer writing? Which do you prefer reading?
Elizabeth Scott: I actually like writing both--I like writing all kinds of things, and I've been so very lucky because I've been able to! As for reading, it depends on my mood--sometimes I want something really intense, and sometimes I just want a fun read.
TBC: With both of your parents being teachers, did you ever consider a career in teaching?
ES: Not a chance! Teachers work so hard and deal with so many things—they don't just teach, they have to help out with at least one activity and there's bus duty and...well, let's just say it's not an eight or even ten hour a day job. Plus, my parents only ever had one thing to say about what they'd hope I'd do, post-college: "Don't teach!"
TBC: What are your top three "Books to have if stranded on a desert island"?
ES: Three?? I can't pick just three--even thinking about it make me panic--sorry!
TBC: No need to panic! We’ll move on to the next question… Do you have any upcoming book projects you can tell us about?
ES: My newest book, Between Here and Forever, will be out on May 24th, and it's about Abby, who accepted that she can't measure up to her beautiful, magnetic sister Tess a long time ago, and knows exactly what she is: Second best. Invisible.
Until the accident.
Now Tess is in a coma, and Abby's life is on hold. It may have been hard living with Tess, but it's nothing compared to living without her.
She's got a plan to bring Tess back though, involving the gorgeous and mysterious Eli, but then Abby learns something about Tess, something that was always there, but that she'd never seen.
Abby is about to find out that truth isn't always what you think it is, and that life holds more than she ever thought it could...
AND! For those of you that have read my first novel, Bloom, there are appearances in Between Here and Forever by some familiar—but unexpected!—characters.

TBC: Are there any authors you are looking forward to meeting at TeenBookCon?
ES: All of them! :-)
TBC: And I’m sure the feeling is mutual! We’ve got some really anxious teens who can’t wait to meet you and our other authors at TeenBookCon on April 9th! Thanks for talking with us a bit and letting our teens get a peek into your head before meeting you.
Elizabeth Scott is the author of Bloom, Perfect You, Stealing Heaven, Living Dead Girl, Something Maybe, Love You Hate You Miss You, The Unwritten Rule, Grace and the upcoming books Between Here and Forever and As I Wake. Find her on Twitter.
Elizabeth will be speaking on the A Walk on the Dark Side panel with Gail Giles, Ellen Hopkins, and Lauren Myracle.
See you soon! Until then, let us know what you think by leaving feedback below!
