Quick Fire Q&A With Author, Julie Cross

Quick Fire Q&A
With Author, Julie Cross

1.       Coffee of Tea
Coffee! X 10 
2.       Favorite Book
Little Women 
3.       What is your ideal vacation?
Either NYC completely unscheduled or the beach (also completely unscheduled because who wants an agenda at the beach) 
4.       Favorite character from any of your books? 
Omg...I can't pick, right? It's choosing a favorite kid. For my narrators, they always represent a current state of mind for me morphed into a fictional character so they each hold a special spot in my head and heart. And the love interests are made to match these narrators. 
5.       Which actor would you pick to play that character in the movie?
For Jason Brody, I think the actor who plays (played?) Jake on GLEE would be perfect. For Annie, I think Gabriella Wilde from the movie Endless Love is a great fit. So long as she can run fast :) 
Julie Cross is the International Bestselling author of the Tempest series, a young adult science fiction trilogy which includes Tempest, Vortex, and the final installment, Timestorm (St. Martin's Press). She's also the author of Letters to Nowhere (8/13), a mature young adult romance set in the world of elite gymnastics, as well as several forthcoming young adult and new adult novels with publishers like Entangled, Sourcebooks, HarperCollins, and St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books.

Julie lives in Central Illinois with her husband and three children. She's a former gymnast, longtime gymnastics fan, coach, and former Gymnastics Program Director with the YMCA. She's a lover of books, devouring several novels a week, especially in the young adult and new adult genres. Outside of her reading and writing credibility's, Julie Cross is a committed--but not talented--long distance runner, creator of imaginary beach vacations, Midwest bipolar weather survivor, expired CPR certification card holder, as well as a ponytail and gym shoe addict. You can find her online via twitter, her personal website, email, facebook, Goodreads, or co-moderating the YAwriters section of reddit.



Life loves a good curveball…
Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas's life is completely upended the moment her dad returns to the major leagues as the new pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals. Now she's living in Missouri (too cold), attending an all-girls school (no boys), and navigating the strange world of professional sports. But Annie has dreams of her own--most of which involve placing first at every track meet…and one starring the Royals' super-hot rookie pitcher.
But nineteen-year-old Jason Brody is completely, utterly, and totally off-limits. Besides, her dad would kill them both several times over. Not to mention Brody has something of a past, and his fan club is filled with C-cupped models, not smart-mouthed high school "brats" who can run the pants off every player on the team. Annie has enough on her plate without taking their friendship to the next level. The last thing she should be doing is falling in love.
But baseball isn't just a game. It's life. And sometimes, it can break your heart…
