Author Interview + Bookmark Contest: Leah Clifford

A Touch Mortal releases today! And to celebrate, author Leah Clifford is here today to answer a few questions for me. Granted, these aren't quite your normal questions, but she's here all the same.


What flavor of ice cream would you describe your book as?

Dark chocolate. Very VERY dark chocolate.

If you could blast your nemesis with flaming pickles or frozen anchovies which would it be?

Frozen anchovies because I think they would hurt more?

If you had a million dollars and had to spend half of it on other people how would you spend it?

...on other people. Um, I would rent a jet and fly a bunch of random winners on a trip across the United States at sunset on the Fourth of July, because when I was a flight attendant, I got to do that and see dozens of grande finales from above. It was awesome.

If you could do something totally out of character for yourself what would it be?

I would go see more plays or ballets. I love them, but I hate driving into the city, so I never go and no one around here ever really wants to go.

What book would be your book's best friend?

Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton, because Courtney's Ellie and my Eden could get together and talk about their boy drama.

If you were a demigod, what god/goddess would be your parent?

Probably a Greek god of some sort because they're super crazy and I'm super crazy.

Where's Waldo, and what did he lose this time?

With Carmen Sandiego and he lost Rockapella. It was tragic.

You're locked in a closet with the boys from your book! What do you do?

FIND. GABE.

Hypothetically speaking, and assuming you won't get caught or face consequence, what crime would you commit?

I would rob a bank, because honestly, that is badass. I would also ride away on a horse. So. Badass. Then, I'd give the money to orphaned children and stuff.

Alright. Fess up. What hottie famous person is chained to your bed?

I would chain Houdini to my bed, because I know he'd be gone by nightfall and I like to sleep alone.
