About Shrinking Violet
For high school senior Teresa Adams, every day is an ordeal. She’s so painfully shy that she lives in dread of having to speak to anyone in the hallways or answer questions in class. But after school, in the privacy of her bedroom with her iPod in hand, she rocks—doing mock broadcasts for Miami’s hottest FM radio station, which happens to be owned by her stepfather. When a slot opens up, Tere surprises herself by working up the nerve to ask her stepfather to give her a chance—and finds herself The SLAM’s newest intern on one of the station’s most popular shows. Behind the mike she’s Sweet T, her sexy, confident on-air persona. To everyone’s shock—especially her mother’s—Sweet T is a hit. Even Gavin, the only guy in school who she dares to talk to, raves about the mysterious DJ’s awesome taste in music, making Tere wonder if it’s possible to be jealous of yourself. But when The SLAM announces a songwriting contest—and a prom date with “Sweet T” is the grand prize--Sweet T’s dream could turn into Tere’s worst nightmare. . . .

NOW FOR THE FOUR QUESTIONS!!
(Stacey Jay: Oh no!! Not a mean Stacey. I apologize on her behalf. Fictional or not, that ain't right!)
2. Would you consider having this character come back from the dead? Why or why not? Sure, that would make it a lot of fun and definitely give my mc, Tere an advantage over Stacy!
3. What's the strangest thing eaten in the course of your book? (If it's brains you get ten bonus points!) Oh, I wish I could say brains but really it's all about the carbs because Tere's mom is always on her not to eat carbs.
4. Random sharing time, what do you want my zombie-blog-author readers to know about your book? That you'll enjoy my book if you are a music lover, dreamer or a believer in rooting for the good guy and of course if you have a good sense of humor!
My blog readers are chocked full of good humor, so I'm sure they'll love this book! Go out and buy it people. It's Danielle's release day today!! Yeay!!
