Stacey Kade - The TeenBookCon Interview

Continuing with our meet-the-author series, today we’ll be picking the brain of Stacey Kade! April 9^th can’t come too soon. Until then, our interview will have to satisfy your author cravings! Time for some questions…

TeenBookCon:  So you've got Queen of the Dead coming out soon--is it too early to ask if we will see more of Alona and Will beyond Queen of the Dead?

Stacey Kade:  You will definitely be seeing more of Alona and Will! :) There's a third book in the series in progress right now. No title yet, but we're working on it. 

TBC:  What profession, other than yours, would you like to attempt?

SK:  Hmmm. Realistically or not realistically? Realistically, librarian or psychologist. Not realistically? Archeologist! :) It's not realistic for me because I hate dirt, bugs, sleeping outside and not having easy access to daily hot showers. But I LOVE reading about all the discoveries and what they tell us about the past. I'm particularly fascinated by Pompeii, the Egyptian pyramids, and bog mummies! 

TBC:  What are your top three "Books to have if stranded on a desert island"?

SK:  This question always makes me nervous--three books only? Can I have my Kindle and a wireless connection? :) But most likely, if I were to be trapped on a desert island the books I had along with me would be the ones I tend to re-read and those are:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Avalon High by Meg Cabot

TBC: Do you have any upcoming book projects you can tell us about?

SK:  Yes! I'm so excited about my new series with Hyperion. The first book is called The Rules. It's about a girl who was created as a genetic experiment and raised in a lab for the first part of her life. She's now living as a "normal" sixteen year old, hiding in plain sight from her creators by following a set of rules that keep her safe but also confine her existence. And then she meets a guy with troubles of his own who tempts her to break those rules for the possibility of love.

Wow! That sounds wild. Can’t wait to read it when it comes out. And we’re looking forward to meeting you at TeenBookCon! See you April 9^th.

Stacey Kade is the author of The Ghost and the Goth and the upcoming Queen of the Dead.

Stacey will be speaking on the Here There Be Ghosts…And Werewolves and Everything Else! panel with Andrea Cremer, Rachel Hawkins, Saundra Mitchell, and Joy Preble.

Look for another author interview here soon and in the meantime, leave us some feedback! We love to hear from you!
