Giveaway and Interview: Troop by Tina Chan

Troop by Tina Chan

Life is harsh for Kristi. She's the only Accident living in a world of Perfects. More often than not, she feels like a blemish on an otherwise utopian society. And her life is about to get worse. The government has arrested her adoptive parents and her brother goes missing. To top things off, Kristi somehow gets dragged into the mess and now she's a wanted fugitive...
Troop is less than he seems. Teachers love him. Colleges want him. Students revere him. There's even a hot girl after him. Life couldn't get any better than this, right? So, why doe she feel like he's a devil in disguise as an angel?

Life is tough for Kristi. She’s an unintended child—but she’s more than she seems. Troop hides a secret: he’s less than he seems.
--How did you get the idea for the story?

I often wondered what is the definition of “perfect.” Whenever it feels like I finally “perfected” something, I will discover a few days later more improvements could be made. Then I imagined a world where “perfect” was the standard and the idea just kind of took off from there.

--Which character would you most/least like to have dinner with?

--Do you have any other works in progress? Any teasers or release dates?

--What book(s) is your book’s “cousin”? (Similar kind of read,set-up or style)

--What are some of your favorite books? Do you still have much time to read?

My Most Excellent Year, written by Steve Klugar is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Reboot by Amy Tintera is an awesome, fast-paced dystopian book that I recently discovered. I always make time for reading J

--If a fairy godmother told you could be put into the world of your favorite book for 24 hours, which book would you pick and why?
Oh man, that’s a toughie! Probably Centauri-Earth from the book Shades of Earth written by Beth Revis.
--Do you need anything to write (music, coffee, etc)? Are there any songs on your playlist- songs that inspired you or that were playing while you wrote?
I usually like to listen to music when I write. I love relaxing dubstep music or any songs without too many words (I find lyrics distracting sometimes.) Sail by Awolnation is always on my playlist.
--If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
Super speed all the way!
--Besides writing, what do you like to do in your free time?

I love reading, running, playing racquetball and listening to music. I mess around with the piano once in a while too.
