Featured Interview With Susan Antony

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Due to my father’s job, my family moved quite a bit when I was a child. I lived everywhere from Nebraska to New Jersey. When I was a few months shy of eighteen, consumed with a burning desire to grow up and a healthy dose of wanderlust, I traveled across America in a Triumph Spitfire with my soon-to-be husband. Being on the road to a toll on both of us and he eventually joined the Navy. After several more moves, we ended up in South Carolina where I reside to this day. I currently live with my sixteen-year-old son and two naughty but adorable Carin Terriers.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Several years ago I was doing some spring cleaning. Tucked a way in box of keepsakes was a fifty page novel I’d written when I was ten and some screen plays I’d penned as a teen. Memories of my long lost dream to become a writer came flooding back. Chasing my childhood dream, I opened my laptop and started writing again.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I have many favorite authors and since I can’t possibly name them all it wouldn’t be fair to name any. My favorite genres are YA Romance and YA Contemporary. I adore YA. Young adults love, hate, and play hard in an arena where the world shines new and the future burns wide open. When I’m writing or reading YA, if I dig deep inside, I can recapture those intense, wonderful, sometimes painful feelings and immerse myself in that world once again through my characters lives.
Often times, I think as adults we don’t give our youth enough credit. Though still physically and mentally developing, teens have strong beliefs and convictions and deserve to be heard. I believe if everyone strived to be as pliable in his or her thinking as young people are naturally, together we could create a kinder and more brilliant world.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
During a visit to the Cherokee Indian Reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina, I recalled a crush I had on a Native American classmate when I was a tween and pondered how the relationship might have played-out had we been older. I put my imagination to work and my fingers to the keyboard and Cherokee Summer was born.
FACT: Like my female protagonist, Ace, I have a unique and wonderful person in my life who has autism.
