the house of dead maids by clare b dunkle

One thing I love about your books is that they feel so much like historical fiction, it makes the reader believe these events really happened, including the fantastical ones. (Fun! That’s almost exactly the same answer I would give to that question!)

What was my favorite thing about living in Germany? Oh, there were so many! But best of all was the ability to travel a short distance and see picturesque and ancient things, like the Porta Nigra, just forty minutes from our doorstep, which the Romans had built eighteen hundred years ago. (I also recall that the bookstore somehow didn’t manage to have any copies of my book on hand-that put quite a damper on the happiness of the occasion.) I think of you as a friend too, Sondy! As I recall, you attended my very first book signing. What was your favorite thing about living in Germany? You lived in Germany 7 years and I lived there 10 years. I’ll go a little off-topic for my first question. I’ve loved your other books over the years, too, so when I saw an Advanced Reader Copy of The House of Dead Maids at ALA in June, I snapped it up. I’m so pleased to have you visit my blog for my first ever author interview! I think of you as a friend, since we met up a few times when we both lived in Germany, after I posted on your blog how much I loved The Hollow Kingdom. I think you will find that Clare’s answers to my questions will make you eager to read the book! Here’s a link to my review of The House of Dead Maids.

And be sure to go all the way down to the end of the post for an awesome Giveaway!
