Please welcome Shelly Crane, she’s stopping by today for an interview as part of her blog tour! Check out her Q & A below, and then enter win an ebook copy of her new book, WIDE AWAKE!
A girl.
A coma.
A life she can’t remember.
When Emma Walker wakes up in the hospital with no knowledge of how she got there, she learns that she’s been in a coma for six months. Strangers show up and claim to be her parents, but she can’t remember them. She can’t remember anyone. Not her friends, not even her boyfriend. Even though she can’t remember, everyone wants her to just pick up where she left off, but what she learns about the ‘old her’ makes her start to wish she’d never woken up. Her boyfriend breaks up with the new girl he’s dating to be with her, her parents want her to start planning for college, her friends want their leader back, and her physical therapist with the hazel eyes keeps his distance to save his position at the hospital.
Will she ever feel like she recognizes the girl in the mirror?
Are you working on something new? Can you tell us what’s coming next?
Smash Into You is what I’ll be working on next. There’s a couple chapters for it in my newest release, Wide Awake.
What is the one book you think everyone should read?
Callum & Harper by Fisher Amelie because it’s not only a love story, but a people story, too.
What’s your favorite quote?
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. – Jean De La Fontaine
What TV show/movie/book is your guilty pleasure?
I love Kitchen Nightmares. Not sure why, but I LOVE it!
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I can’t watch scary movies… Can’t. Do. It.
Do you have any pets?
3 dogs. Scrappy the schnauzer, Biff and Tiger, the labs.
If you could ask any author (alive or dead) one question, who would it be and what question would you ask?
Rachel Higginson. Where does Jericho live? Seriously, hand it over, sister, ’cause that boy is all kinds of sweet and swoon.
When it comes to writing, are you a planner or pantser?
Pantser, all the way.
What is next on your to read list?
Unmaking Hunter Kennedy by Anne Eliot
Where is your favorite place to write?
My brown leather club chair
What inspires you in everyday life, as a person, not an author?
My two boys. They are pretty darn hilarious.
About the author: YA author from a small town in Georgia and loves everything about the south. She is wife to a fantastical husband and stay at home mom to two boisterous and mischievous boys who keep her on her toes. They currently reside in everywhere USA as they happily travel all over with her husband’s job. She loves to spend time with her family, binge on candy corn, go out to eat at new restaurants, buy paperbacks at little bookstores, site see in the new areas they travel to, listen to music everywhere and also LOVES to read.
Her own books happen by accident and she revels in the writing and imagination process. She doesn’t go anywhere without her notepad for fear of an idea creeping up and not being able to write it down immediately, even in the middle of the night, where her best ideas are born.

I really like that quote. It’s another way of saying life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans. So true.,

LOVE that quote so much. And I’ve never watched Kitchen Nightmares, but the title sounds awesome, so maybe I’ll give it a shot.
