today, i’m delighted to have pam stop by
to discuss her debut, CANDOR. there has
been much buzz about this novel!

About Candor

Oscar Banks has everything under control. In
a town where his father brainwashes everyone,
he’s found a way to secretly fight the subliminal
Messages. He’s got them all fooled: Oscar’s the
top student and the best-behaved teen in town.
Nobody knows he’s made his own Messages to
deprogram his brain. But then Nia Silva moves to
Candor, and Oscar falls in love. He must choose
whether to let Nia be lost to brainwashing—or to
sacrifice himself.

About Pam Bachorz

Pam Bachorz grew up in a small town in
the Adirondack foothills, where she participated
in every possible performance group and assiduously
avoided any threat of athletic activity. Pam attended
college in Boston and finally decided she was finished
after earning four degrees. Her mother is not happy
that Pam’s degrees are stored under her bed.

Pam lives just outside Washington, DC with her
husband and their son. She likes to read books not
aimed at her age group, go to museums and theater
performances, and watch far too much television.
She even goes jogging. Reluctantly.

As far as she knows, Pam has never been brainwashed.
Or maybe that’s just what she’s supposed to say.

and the cindy interview…

1. Who is your literary character crush?

Gilbert Blythe. Oh how you challenge Anne
Shirley. An oh how you love her for her wit
and spark and brains.

2. who is your author crush? (does not have to
be romantic!)

Pete Hautman blows me away, and I am also a
big Scott Westerfeld fan. I also jump on every
Gail Giles and Nancy Werlin release.

3. what is your favorite pastry?

Dunkin’ Donuts FROSTED coffee rolls. Only frosted,
which seems to be something you can only find in
the south shore of Boston. Bummer, since I don’t live
there anymore.

this makes me sad that you don’t have easy
access to your favorite pastry!

4. what is the favorite scene from your novel?

The last chapter. Shock. Pain. Disbelief. Love it.

oooh.
