CAN TESSA POSE AS MADISON . . . AND STOP A KILLER
BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE? Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of
anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family,
she’s spent the last two years training with the Forces with
Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. When a serial
killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must
impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes
again. Tessa hates everything about being an impostor—the stress, the
danger, the deceit—but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As
Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she’d
do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this
super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look
like anyone struggles the most with being herself.

1. Describe Impostor
in one sentence.
Impostor is about a girl
who can absorb the DNA of other people and who turns into the latest teenage
murder victim to catch the killer.
2.
What inspired you to
write this story?
My main character Tessa came first. I knew I
wanted to write a book about a girl who can be whoever she wants to be and who
struggles with her identity and her longing for a loving family while
simultaneously having to function as an agent for the FEA, a division of the
FBI.
3.
Impostor is a thriller.
What are some of your favorite books in the same genre?
I read a lot of adult thrillers, and
especially love the books from Simon Beckett, Jussi Adler Olsen, Josh Bazell
and Stieg Larsson.
4.
What is your writing
schedule like?
Well, I don’t follow a
schedule. I’m a full time writer, so I’m in the fortunate position that I can
decide when to work. But if I’m in the drafting phase of a book, I’m spending
most of the day writing. I’m a quick writer and get quite obsessed when I’m
working on a project.
5.
If you could choose a
character in any book to be your best friend, who would it be?
Hermione from Harry Potter, because she’s
loyal and because it would mean that the Harry Potter world is real, and that
would be amazing!
6.
What can we expect from
you in the future?
I’m going to write more young adult books
that are creepy and scary because that’s what I love most! And I’m currently
working on the sequel to IMPOSTOR!
