New Fan Questions and Answers

Lauren has once again taken to her blog to answer some fan asked questions. Here are the questions asked and Lauren’s responses:

Will you be signing only Requiem or will I be able to bring Delirium too? Also will we be able to buy the special edition requiem or has it got to be ordered somewhere? Oops sorry for so many questions I’m just super excited 🙂

You can of course bring Delirium! Every first edition copy of Requiem will include the Alex short story, so make sure you preorder or get yours quickly! Requiem is available for purchase at every bookstore, and also at online retailers like Amazon.

Lauren are you gonna be involved with the tv adaptation of delirium? I love the series so much you’re an amazing author, please answer! -With love Sara

Hi Sara! I get to read the script and give notes, although most of the creative decisions are out of my hands. I’m super excited, though—I can’t wait to see what the brilliant minds in Hollywood come up with!

Delirium and Before I Fall Parallel

Delirium and Before I fall

“Promise you’ll stay here with me?” I say.

“I promise,” he whispers.”
________________________________________

“Promise me we’ll stay together, okay?” His eyes are once again the clear blue of a perfectly transparent pool. They are eyes to swim in, to float in, forever. “You and me.”
“I promise,” I say.

Tumblr user iparis-wings made this edit. If you read Before I Fall, did you notice this parallel with Pandemonium?

Jason Isaacs as Thomas Fineman – a fancast

We know the film adaptation of Pandemonium is still years away but there’s currently some fan casting going on.  What do you think of Jason Isaacs portraying Thomas Fineman?  Personally I don’t think I can ever look at him and not see Lucius Malfoy, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t do  the role justice!  Any thoughts on who you would like to see play the elder Fineman?  Let us know in the comments section below!
