Today, Catherine is here to talk about birthdays. Speaking of which, her fourth novel, Hidden (reviewed here by me and on Goodreads by Melissa A), is being re-born as a US novel next week! To celebrate, she has THREE copies to share with some lucky US readers.
Visit Catherine at her website, Facebook and Twitter.
What did you do for your last birthday?
My last birthday was a big one - 40 - so I had a nice dinner with friends and my sister flew in from out of town which was really nice. Great night.
What do you want to do for your next birthday?
Not sure. I think it's important to celebrate, even if you don't like the number, so I'll probably do something with my friends.
Do you have any birthday traditions?
Not really, other than my mom's perfect birthday cake - white cake with homemade chocolate frosting. It's divine.
Share a favorite birthday memory.
Mmm. Weird. Nothing really stands out. My 30th was a big party; the clocks changed that night so we had an extra hour of celebrating. I also once spent a birthday pleading an injunction in Quebec City - I had to drive there three hours in bad weather, plead the thing and then drive back. Long day!
If you could help any one of your characters celebrate their birthday, what would you do with them?
I think Katie's 30th birthday party in Spin (see chapter one) was probably a good time, even if, you know, it messed up her life.
According to Bishop Usher, it's the day the earth was created at 9:00 AM! That always seemed oddly specific to me. Oh, and according to Wikipedia:, in 1958 "The Smurfs, a fictional race of blue dwarves, later popularized in a Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon series, appear for the first time in the story 'La flute à six schtroumpfs,' a Johan and Peewit adventure by Peyo, which is serialized in the weekly Spirou magazine." Ha!
Thanks to Catherine for visiting with us and sharing her book with our readers.
