You'd better! Buzziebeeteacher, I'm so glad you liked the book! And you don't know how funny this question is to me, because you have no idea that my next novel--the one coming out this year--is ALL about food. So yes, I guess I am a foodaholic. I just think food makes a story so much more fun. I always love to know what characters in other people's books are eating. It tells me a lot about them. And I had so much fun writing Josh's character, for a lot of reasons. In some ways he's my perfect boyfriend--a man of few words, with awesome computer skills. Love him. Vivian, HURRAY! You’d better!

But, I have one question. I noticed many mentions of food, especially at the Connor house and with regards to Josh. What prompted this proliferation? Did you know someone who created the character of Josh? Are you a foodaholic? Just curious. My reading development class just finished reading Freaks and loved it. But, I have one question.

Sheesh--pick something a little harder, will you? Like finishing a novel this year! How about that? I know you can do it! Stop overthinking it or talking yourself out of it, and just sit down this weekend and tell yourself a story! Pretty please!
