i am very excited to start the 2010 debs
tour today with shani’s bedeviled!

Book Summary:

Angel Garrett knows two things for sure. The
first is that she inherited her devil-dad’s powers.
The second is that she wreaks havoc whenever she
tries to use them. Especially  when she’s trying to
impress her crush, Cole. Angel’s only solution is to
stay as far away as possible from him until she learns
how to harness this new gift. But how do you avoid
someone and get him to ask you to the school dance
at the same time?

Author Bio:

Shani Petroff is a writer living in New York City. In
addition to tween and teen books, Shani writes for
news programs and several other venues. When she’s
not locked in her apartment typing away, she spends a
whole lot of time on books, boys, TV, daydreaming, and
shopping online. She has no devil lineage as far as she knows.

and the brand new cindy interview!

1. What was your favorite childhood book?

I really liked A Little Princess. Although, I will admit
I watched the movie on TV first. And this was where I
learned you really should read the book and not count
on a movie for a book report. I actually read a lot as a kid,
but for some reason didn’t get around to A Little Princess
in time for the assignment. So I wrote it up based on what
I remembered seeing on TV. Big mistake. One of the
characters was a scullery maid. I had never heard that
word before—and was convinced that they had called
her a scuttery maid or something like that—which I used
all over my report. And that was just one of my mistakes!
In the end, I did end up reading the book and really liking it!
And now it forever holds a little place in my heart—and my memory.

omg, a little princess also an absolute favorite of mine.
tho i have never seen the movie? scuttery maid, haha!

2. If you could win a gold medal in any Olympic event,
which would it be?

I’ve always been so impressed by the figure skaters and
the way they can do the turns and jumps and all those fancy moves.
I’ve only been on ice skates a couple of times—and each time I barely
let go of the wall or the person I was with. So I would love to win a
gold medal in that—but for now I’d be happy if I could to do a couple
of circles around the rink without stumbling!

3. If you could buy a lovely writing retreat/cottage
anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Somewhere warm, near the water, semi-secluded, with a nice
breeze, and beautiful view—but not so far away from society
that it would be hard to get back to (not looking to end up on
that island in LOST or anything!).

*sighs dreamily* yes! some day…

on your sequel release!
