If you could create a hashtag for yourself, what would it be? ☺ I do like being on all the different social media platforms but when it came to writing this book I wanted Cici to be able to easily hide who she was (and not need to have a ton of pictures on her account) and it seemed like Twitter was the perfect place to do it. I can’t wait for the Gilmore Girls revival!!! But that’s not what you asked. With such a plethora of social media options, any particular reason for choosing Twitter? Anyway, Twitter is a key element to the story, and I admit I stalked your profile (I also love The Gilmore Girls!). I did!! Steve Martin is great! I remember watching it when I was a kid-so fun! And surprisingly no one has asked me this question yet! ☺ So then I have to ask: did you ever see Roxanne with Steve Martin? Ha, how many people have asked you that since you wrote this book? But it gave me the idea to try updating the Cyrano tale with some fun twists and setting it in the 7th grade. Their date, unfortunately, was a disaster. Instead we came up with a plan where I telephoned him, pretending to be her, and convinced him to meet me (really her) for a movie. Well, we didn’t have cell phones or the Internet back then so there was no sending him a tweet or an e-mail.
She said she really wanted to go on a date with him but was too shy to approach him herself. Back then, one of my close friends was majorly crushing on a boy from my brother’s soccer team. When I was in 7th grade I took my own stab at middle school matchmaking. K: Often times I’ll be reflecting on something that happened when I was the age of my characters and then spin it into a fun tale.
I'll start off with my very first thought when I saw your book: Cyrano de Bergerac? How did you decide on Cyrano in a middle school setting? And get it to work so well! E: Hi Kristina! Thanks for doing this interview.
