Working in Ireland was amazing because I was in Ireland and I had to wear a ridiculous little bakery hat which made the whole thing feel very Official.

Also, when cookies broke, we got to eat them (both of these details end up showing up in WNL). I remember feeling like I was pretending to be a coffee shop worker and just so happened to be getting paid money to do it. Working at the coffee shop was exciting because it was my first job other than babysitting. I’ve loved something about almost every job I’ve had though. What was your favorite one and your least favorite one?īefore I started writing full-time I worked at a book packager/media production company making up ideas/plots for books and then editing those books. They’re very different than WNL!ģ) Looking at your bio, you've had quite a number of jobs in the past.

I am working on two YA novels for Harper Collins (a book and a sequel), the first of which will be out sometime in 2011. The idea came about kind of backwards way: Scholastic said they were looking to do a YA novel that would have drawings in it and I thought this sounded like a really fun idea, so I tried to come up with a story for which drawings would naturally fit.Ģ) What are you working on now? Can you tell us anything about it? And now, the interview!:ġ) How did you get the idea for Wherever Nina Lies? For it to actually be considered an extra entry, it needs to be a substantial comment, not just 'Commenting for extra entry!' otherwise it'll be disqualified. If you leave a comment on this blog post, you'll get an extra entry in the Wherever Nina Lies contest. Lynn was kind enough to let me ask her a few questions about her book, her writing, and herself.
