What was the best book you've read all year? Tell me all about it!
JH: One of my favorites of 2011 was Lisa Schroeder's The Day Before. It's a verse novel about a girl and a boy who are drawn together the day before their lives are going to change.
And I finally got around to reading The Hunger Games trilogy, and I see why every one's been talking about it!
What was your favorite thing you wrote?
JH: I write so much, I have no idea. I try to write something worthwhile every day.
What was your biggest writing struggle, and how did you overcome it?
JH: Transitioning from one book to another was the biggest struggle. I needed to rest and let the story come to me.
What can we expect from you in the new year?
JH: My second novel, Try Not to Breathe, should appear in January 2012. It's the story of a boy recovering from a suicide attempt, and his relationship with a girl who's trying to reach her dead father through psychics.
Write down your 'Writing Resolution of 2012!'
JH: I don't make yearly resolutions about writing; I just try to write every day. But my New Year's resolution the past few years has been to do less, to make more room in my life.
