Ever since I fell in love with Diana Peterfreund 's Secret Society Girl series last year, I've been hoping I'd get the chance to interview her here. Tomorrow marks the release of her new novel, Rampant , and let me tell you that you have not read a book like this before. You can read my review here , but all you really need to know is that it's a story about killer unicorns and the young women who hunt them. You want to read it now, don't you? Oh, yeah, and it's YA and the first in a series! To celebrate the release, Diana graciously answered a few of my most burning questions. As she is always a delight, I know you'll enjoy them as much as I did. First things first: When did the idea for Rampant first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat?

ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? :)
DeleteYep, I'll be seeing each one as it comes out.
Um mine. No one else's.
ReplyDeleteSurely we can share, Katie. We've managed to with Warner after all . . .
DeleteThank you, I laughed and laughed!
ReplyDeleteShe is brilliant.
DeleteI read this and laughed so hard and LOVED it so hard as well. DREAMBOATSHIELD FOR SURE!! <3 Alyssa
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Alyssa. I kept trying to quote bits to my husband but was giggling too hard to deliver them properly.
