I really wanted to play with that story, and write about a girl who was anticipating that twisted fate.<\/p>\n<p><b>What scene was really hard for you to write and why, and is that the one of which you are most proud? Or is there another scene you particularly love?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The hardest scenes to write, for me, are the emotionally intense scenes. I tend to rework those the most, going over and over them until I feel like the intensity I want is there. I don&#8217;t know that there&#8217;s a scene I&#8217;m most proud of; at this point in the process, it&#8217;s hard for me to break it down like that. I&#8217;m really proud of the book as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><b>What book or books would most resonate with readers who love your book&#8211;or visa versa?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Anyone who likes dark reimaginings of fairy tales should check out Angela Carter&#8217;s The Bloody Chamber, Tanith Lee&#8217;s Red as Blood: Tales from the Sisters Grimmer, and Emma Donoghue&#8217;s Kissing the Witch.<\/p>\n<p><b>What advice would you most like to pass along to other writers?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t give up. Seriously. That is the most important thing. The most devastating rejection is the one you give yourself. It&#8217;s the only &#8220;no&#8221; that&#8217;s final, the only one that can really stop you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\nABOUT THE BOOK<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/o\/ASIN\/1606845918\/adveninchilds-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Order Tear You Apart\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1405447334l\/22318573.jpg\" hspace=\"20\" vspace=\"20\" width=\"275\" \/><\/a><b>Tear You Apart<\/b><br \/>\n<b>by Sarah Cross<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Hardcover<\/i><br \/>\n<i>EgmontUSA<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Released 1\/27\/2015<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>If you want to live happily ever after, first you have to stay alive.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Viv knows there\u2019s no escaping her fairy-tale curse.
