Intreview with Aprilynn Pike

May 28, 2009 By C. Lee McKenzie


WINGS is here and it’s hot. Now on the NY Times Bestseller list, this story of faeries and magic is perfect summertime reading.

Here’s a bit about WINGS.

Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful—too beautiful for words. Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings.

In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.

APRILYNN PIKE has been spinning faerie stories since she was a child with a hyperactive imagination. She completed her BA in creative writing at the age of twenty at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. Aprilynne currently lives with her husband and three kids in Utah, where she dreams of warmer climates.

Aprilynn stopped in to say hi and tell us a little more about herself.

Of all your favorite books, which one do you wish you had written?

The Giver, by Lois Lowry. I will never write anything half that good.

What fictional character do you wish you could be?

Elastigirl. That is an awesome super-power!!

Stretchy! Yes.

After chocolate what do you eat to make the writer-block pain go away?

Um . . . more chocolate??

Absolutely. What else? You are a certified writer.
