Character interview w/ Sara of What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen + Giveaway!

Okay, so I'm a little late in posting this, but it's a special post!


Please welcome Apocalypsie Tracy Bilen to the blog! It's a one of a kind post! I always loved reading posts where the author interviews her protagonist! Now there's a lot of mystery surrounding Sarah and this is your chance to get to know her even before we all get to read the book!

Interview with Sara from What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen

Interviewer: What are your hobbies?
Sara: I play the E flat clarinet. My brother used to call it the shrunken clarinet.

Interviewer: How about your favorite sport?
Sara: Don’t have one. I hate all forms of organized sports.

Interviewer: Don’t you have to play in the band at football games?
Sara: That’s right. But I don’t actually watch the game. I stuff a copy of Soap Opera Digest under my uniform to read.

Interviewer: What’s that you’re reading now?
Sara: This? It’s a Stephen King book. I like horror. It helps keep things in perspective.

Interviewer: It looks like you wrote something on the front cover.
Sara: Me? No. Alex loaned me the book.

Interviewer: Alex?
Sara: Yeah, Alex Maloy. He sits next to me in history.

Interviewer: The football player?
Sara: Okay , so I may have watched a little bit of the last football game. (Blushes) But this thing with Alex, it’s never going to work out.

Interviewer: Why not?
Sara: You swear you won’t tell anyone?

Interviewer: I swear.
Sara: It’s not going to work out because I’m not going to be here. Mom and I are getting out of here. We’re leaving Dad.

Interviewer: Really? When?
Sara: Tomorrow probably.

Interviewer: Probably?
Sara: We were supposed to leave Tuesday, but Mom didn’t show up at the Dairy Dream like she was supposed to.

Interviewer: Why not?
Sara: I don’t know. But she must have had a good reason.

Interviewer: Have you heard from her since then?
Sara: No. But I’m sure she’s on her way.

Interviewer: How can you be so sure?
Sara: Because if she doesn’t come back, it can only mean one thing.

Interviewer: What’s that?
Sara: (Whispers) It means that she’s dead.

Who is Alex Maloy? I'm really intrigued. And I've read Stephen King's books too, but I'm not really a big fan.
