Crescendo: Questions for Becca Fitzpatrick

[Becca_Fitzpatr…]

Hi Salander!

As far as I know, I won't be in Washington any time soon.  My publisher decides where I go, but when I get requests from readers, I always forward those along.  You never know - it might pursuade my publisher to send me there!

Thanks for your Q.

Hi Lexa!

I don't want to spoil anything for TEMPEST, but I will say that Patch and Nora get to work as a team for the first time in the book.  Obviously by the very end of CRESCENDO, you have a good idea who the villain will be in TEMPEST.  Patch and Nora will be working together to combat Mr. Evil

Some of my favorite authors:  Laurie Halse Anderson, Diana Gabaldon, Sandra Brown, Richelle Mead, Karen Joy Fowler.

Hi Smaria!

I'll let you in on a little secret, since you've read the book.  In the original draft of CRESCENDO, Scott was the villain, and Patch and Nora didn't break up.  When my editor and agent read the manuscript, and gave their feedback, I did a major overhaul of the story that included changing Scott's role in the book.  I know my editor and agent really wanted a love triangle between Scott, Patch and Nora, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.  There are hints that Nora might be attracted to Scott, and she does kiss him as a way to show Patch how much she's hurting, but that's it.  I like Scott, don't get me wrong, but there are days when I remember him as I originally wrote him, and it makes me hard to soften to him.

Hello All, thanks to Becca Fitzpatrick for stopping by, and to Barnes & Noble for giving us a Sneak Peek at her latest book Crescendo . I was lucky enough to see Becca on book tour last week and if any of you have a chance to go see her I highly recommend it. She is a generous author and a humorous speaker. She has events listed through November on her website, so if she's in your part of the country, go check her out! Crescendo's

 official release date is October 19. So if you want a hardcover copy of the book or want to recommend it with a friend, now it the time to get it!

Thanks for the great discussion everyone, and thanks to Becca for answering our questions.

Thanks, Becca for stopping by and answering our questions. I loved Hush,Hush and Crescendo and can't wait for the third book, Tempest, to come out. I hope you will be back for a sneak peek of that book. You have so many dedicated followers, you know.

How did you come up with a novel concept when you started with "Hush, Hush"?
