About the Author: Kate Karyus Quinn is an avid reader and menthol chapstick addict. She has lived in California and Tennessee, but recently made the move back to  her hometown of Buffalo, New York, with her husband and two children in tow. She promised them wonderful people, amazing food, and weather that would build character. Another Little Piece is her first novel. Visit her at http://www.katekaryusquinn.com.

About Another Little Piece: A reckless wish taken from the darkest desires of the heart…

A bloody razor engraved with the names of the girls who turned to dust…

An endless cycle that feeds on loneliness and craves destruction…

Together, these pieces form a twisted puzzle that Annaliese Rose Gordon has to solve. Trapped in a body that isn’t hers—with no memory of how she got there—she must unlock the secrets of her past in order to escape the horrors of her future.

Pitch your book in 140 characters: 
Screaming, covered in blood – Annaliese disappeared. A year later she’s found. But Annaliese is certain she’s someone else now. The question is – who?

Who will this book appeal to: 
Anyone prepared for gore and supernatural scares. But to balance that out, there’s also a girl just trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs.

Favorite moment or character in your book: 
I love the very beginning of the book and the very end of it – and the way the two of them tie together and come full circle.

What’s your writing routine: 
I write in-between. In-between the day job. In-between taking care of two kids. In-between wrestling with two dogs. And in-between everything else.

What’s your best piece of writing advice: 
Just keep swimming.

What’s been the most surprising part of the publishing journey: 
That I’m still swimming.

What did you do when you learned your book would be published: 
I just sat there for a bit – feeling both scared and excited.

What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve received: 
Um, it’s not really advice, but after learning the three-act structure for writing screenplays I was finally able to finish a novel.

What are your top three favorite books: 
Oh, I hate choosing, I really do, but… Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. When You Reach Me. Daisy Fay and The Miracle Man.

What’s next for you: 
I am currently writing my next novel, another stand-alone, that will hopefully be available from HarperTeen in 2014.
