READ THE INTERVIEW

What is the favorite book you remember as a child?

I loved Paddington Bear and I remember my mother reading that to me a lot.

What is your favorite book today?

The Host is one of my favorites.

Tell us about your current book in 10 words.

It’s a true love story with a science fiction twist.

What are you reading right now?

Trying to catch up on all the books I bought over the last year. I am finishing Dead Ever After (The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris).

What books do you have on hold at the library?

I have to be honest, I don’t go to the library. I am now a Kindle reader or I borrow books.

Do you have any bad book habits?

Absolutely. Two that I can think of. I dog-ear pages of paper books, or I take FOREVER to read one!

E-Reader or print? and why?

E-reader has been much more convenient for me, as I don’t have to wait for a book to arrive, but I do miss the feeling of the actual book in my hand.

One book at a time or multiples?

One at a time for sure, or I start melding the stories together.

Dog-ear or bookmark? (don't worry—Librarian Judith won't hold it against you—much)

What’s a bookmark?

Favorite book you've read this year?

The Mothers (Book one of The Invisibles) by Michelle Read. This is a great book by an Indie-Author and I am so excited for the next one.

Re-reader or not?

I used to be, but as I got older, getting time to read became harder. I am just grateful to get a chance to read a book once!

What would make you not finish a book?

Too many editing mistakes or a major hole in the story that doesn’t add up and was overlooked by editing. Or something completely horrible in the story that had to do with abuse, or a horrible death.

READ THE BLURB

Jennifer Nielsen awakens one morning to a life that doesn't belong to her. Thrown back eight years into a past she doesn't remember and again married to her ex-husband, she struggles to make sense of the situation. Longing to return to her current life with who she believes is her real husband and children, she seeks out answers -- and a way "back" -- wherever she can find them. Is she losing her mind? Did her other life ever exist? Or did she actually time travel? And if so, how will she get back and what will be sacrificed?
