Perigee Moon by Tara Fuller - Author Interview

Tara Fuller writes novels. Some about grim reapers. Some about witches. All of course are delightfully full of teen angst and kissing. Tara grew up in a one stop light town in Oklahoma where once upon a time she stayed up with a flash light reading RL Stine novels and only dreamed of becoming a writer. She has a slight obsession with music and a shameless addiction for zombie fiction, Mystery Science Theater, and black and white mochas. Tara no longer lives in a one stop light town. Now she lives with her family in a slightly larger town in North Carolina where they have at least three stoplights.

Author Interview with Tara Fuller

1.) How did you celebrate the sale of your first book?

I bought myself a new desk and a chocolate milkshake. It's not a celebration without some form of chocolate.

2.) What was your favorite book when you were a child/teen?

My very first favorite book when I was little was Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. I also loved Night of the Twisters in middle school. High school...I'd have to say anything Christopher Pike wrote.

3.) What is one book everyone should read?

The Time Travelers Wife. That book is a work of art. From the voice, to the structure and characters. I adored it and would recommend it to anyone. One of my favorites.

4.) If you could have a signed copy of any novel what would it be and why?

Any book by Maggie Stiefvater. I'd love to have my copies of Shiver,Linger, and Forever signed and doodled with her signature wolves someday.

5.) What five authors (living or deceased) would you most like to invite to dinner?

Karsten Knight, RL Stine, Maggie Stiefvater, Jackson Pearce, and Gena Showalter. I love all of these author's work, but they are all super funny and interesting too. I'm pretty sure this would win the award for funnest dinner party ever. ;)

6.) If someone wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?

Organized Chaos

7.) What is a fun, random fact about you that most people don't know?

I played basketball in school, from fourth grade to senior year. I still love to play.

After a horrific fire claims the life of her mother, seventeen year old Rowan Bliss finds herself in the miniscule town of Ipswich, Massachusetts. It’s here that she meets Alex, a deliciously mysterious boy who holds the key to unlocking her family’s dark secret.

As Rowan falls helplessly over the edge for Alex, the secrets that he insists on keeping refuse to be contained, and the truth that she uncovers challenges everything she has ever believed. Alex is a witch. And now he’s awakened something within her she never even knew existed. But out of all of this, the one thing Rowan won’t accept is the fact that Alex is destined to die.

Now Rowan must unearth the buried power she harbors within to escape a deadly prophecy, defy the very laws of time, and prevent the hands of fate from taking yet another person she loves.
