| Dan & I at BEA 2013 |
I am so very excited to be a part of the second annual Authors are Rockstars tour! It's so true, authors are my rockstars and this tour is brilliant. My featured Rockstar for this tour is the amazingly talented, Dan Krokos. I became interested in his debut novel, False Memory, very early on and I was lucky enough to get an ARC (advanced readers copy) at BEA (Book Expo America) in 2012 while also meeting him. I didn't really say anything to him except 'thank you' because, believe it or not, I'm shy. But he was nice and I was so excited to read False Memory. Even with my high expectations, it didn't disappoint - he didn't disappoint. He reeled me with his story and with his words and he hasn't let go since. I've since read False Sight and his middle grade debut, The Planet Thieves was loving all of them. His books are intelligent, witty, adventurous, suspenseful and just downright amazing. I said in my review to False Sight that he's one of the only YA authors whose books I think could be loved equally by both male and female readers. He intertwines a perfect blend of action and suspense to lure in the men while also a healthy mixture of romance. I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I've met Dan a total of 5 times (at three different events) and haven't said much to him. Like I said, I'm shy and it sucks but he's fantastic and . . . well, he's my rockstar.
