Goddess Interrupted Q&A and Giveaway

Thanks to Harlequin Teen, today I've got a small Q&A with Aimee Carter, author of The Goddess Test and its upcoming sequel, Goddess Interrupted. And there's a giveaway at the end of the post, if that's, you know, something you're into...

How familiar were you with Greek myths and folklore before writing the Goddess Test series? Was a lot of research required?

 I first fell in love with Greek mythology when I was a kid learning how to read, and my infatuation only grew from there. I’ve studied various kinds of mythology for years, sometimes for class and always for fun, but even then I put a great deal of research into the Goddess Test series. Mostly as a refresher to make sure I was getting my facts right, but I also researched the various myths looking for ways to tie the plots and characters together in unexpected ways.

After the huge success of The Goddess Test, Goddess Interrupted is on many, many TBR lists for this summer. What’s on your TBR list?

 I’m so excited for a slew of books coming out – The Girl in the Clockwork Collar, Grave Mercy, The Selection, The Serpent’s Shadow, Philippa Gregory’s YA novel, and a ton of others. I never have as much time to read as I want, but I’m definitely making time for all of those and more!
When is the next book in the series due out? Any hints on what will happen in book 3?

 Goddess Interrupted, the sequel to The Goddess Test, came out in late March. The next book in the series, The Goddess Legacy, will be out July 31. It’s a collection of five novellas told in the perspectives of Calliope, Ava, Persephone, James, and Henry, and together they form one story.

The third book in the series, The Goddess Inheritance, is currently scheduled to be released in March 2013. Unfortunately I can’t say too much about it, but the challenges that Kate will face are pretty clear by the end of the sequel!

Thanks Aimee! Now I've got one copy of Goddess Interrupted to give away to someone who lives in the USA or Canada. The giveaway will end June 2. Good luck!
