Hi Everyone!!
We have a special treat today. The uber cool Heather McCorkle released her new novel The Secret of Spruce Knoll!! I know. I'm excited, too. I'm thrilled to be on this blog tour as Heather is one of the sweetest authors I know!
Here's a little about her book *squeee*
Following the tragic death of her parents, Eren Donovan moves to Spruce Knoll to live with her aunt. Little does Eren know the entire town of Spruce Knoll is filled with “channelers”—a magical group of people who immigrated to the small Colorado town when they were driven out of their own lands.
OMG. Sounds awesome, right? How gorgeous is that cover?
So, let's get to the fun part... the secret. YAY. I love secrets. I get to ask ONE secret of Heather. I know. So cruel. Hey, if you want more you'll have to check out the next stop on her tour, or... or even better, go buy the book!
Here we go!
So. I'm curious... What is Eren's secret career desire?
Due to her abilities~though she doesn't know it for many years~Eren is an outstanding runner and was a major track star at her school back in L.A. Her parents pushed her to focus on track and her track coach encouraged her to think about the Olympics. Though Eren loves to run, she has no interest in a career in track and field. Her secret desire is to be an artist, to paint. She's remarkably good at it too!
Awesome. Gotta love an artist. Here's a secret of mine. My little sister is an artist and majored in it! We have her paintings all over our house!

Yay! I love character questions. Athletic and artistic, pretty neat!
An artist! How wonderful. Erica, thank you so much for supporting Heather! It's so nice to know you and if there is anything I can help you with... let me know!
Yes, she is! I couldn't wait for the contest and bought my own copy (Heather IS my crit sister, after all!) You're all going to love this young woman who finds herself in a baffling and difficult, but exciting place after tragedy mars her world. Nice interview, Erica!
It's been so much fun learning about Heather and the characters of TSoSS. Bought my copy this morning! :)
Lisa, it was a fun question!
Karlene, you're so sweet. Eren has been fun to write about.
Linda, aw, thank you. I hope you enjoy the final version! :)
Jessica, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying learning about the characters. I hope you enjoy TSoSS!
Yeah, I think I'd got with the art, it's a very creative extention of ourselves.
Thank you Erica!
I'm with Jessica - getting these little glimpses of the characters has been a lot of fun and has me even more intrigued about the story. And learning more about the lovely Heather is icing. Thanks, Erica & Heather!
I agree!!! Thanks for stopping by everyone ;o)
Ah, a secret desire makes everything more interesting. Great question!
Hi, Heather, Hi, Erica,
Heather what a great combo for a character, not only beautiful and athletic, but artistic too! Talk about a fleshed out character.
