Leah Cypess.
Leah's book, Mistwood has been hailed as “An unusual, suspenseful fantasy that is propelled by well-placed clues.” (ALA) and Kirkus said "a traditional premise is transformed into a graceful meditation on the ramifications of loyalty, duty and purpose… Astonishing and inspiring."
All of which got me thinking...
Hmm. Well, lets take a look at the evidence together, shall we?
1. Leah has always loved writing, but has also majored in Biology and gone to law school during which she spent at least part of her time drawing scenes of fantasy.
2. Her taste in movies ranges from The Last Unicorn to The Matrix.
3. Her taste in music "tends to change rapidly."
4. Leah enjoys writing about Shape Shifters!
See a theme here? I do! Leah embraces change.
She is obviously a SHAPE SHIFTER! So Leah - what's your favorite form?
All of which is a nicer way of saying what my father always said -- "You lack focus." :)
ReplyDeleteMy real-life favorite form? With Mistwood coming out tomorrow, I am definitely going to say author!
If I was a real shapeshifter, I think I'd be a bird. Or maybe a dragon. They can fly too, after all.
Leah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! Can't wait to read Mistwood! Author is a good choice, then again, so is dragon. Good thing I'm not a shapshifter, I'd never be able to make up my mind!
I'm sooooo looking forward to Mistwood! And Shape Shifters are the coolest of all - never, ever boring. :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm dying to know which kind of shapeshifter she is... And oh yeah, MISTWOOD is on order from B&N. Can't wait until it arrives!
ReplyDeleteLia - Gotta love those shape shifters! Can't wait for the book either.
ReplyDeleteHeather - take a look at Leah's comment above! She tells us exactly what her favorite form is! Glad you're as excited as I am about the book. :)
Exciting!! Change is good :) And being a dragon would be pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteJemi - I agree! Change is good. And dragons are seriously cool.
ReplyDeleteFor Kirkus to give praise like that, it has to be good - I'm adding this one to my list!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Thanks for stopping by Kristi!
ReplyDeleteI really identify with point 1. Loved writing, studied all sorts of other things...Of course, in the long run that's good for us.
ReplyDeleteMarcia - so true! My degree is in Psych and I've been everything from actress to stay at home mom.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Fun post! But doesn't every shapeshifter want to be a cat? I mean, what other devious/lazy form is there. It's the best of both worlds. ;0)
ReplyDeleteChristy
Sounds like a cool book, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteChristy - I don't know. Cats are cool, but dragons? Hmm..
ReplyDeleteJulie - Can't wait to read it. I know I keep saying that, but it's true!
This month I'll have to choose desert flowers. But as a shapeshifter what more powerful shape is there than a flower that hides from view until the absolutely most perfect moment and then thrusts out of rocks only to disappear again to become a stick and seed pods? Hardly anything left for a shapeshifter to do, is there?
ReplyDeleteAh! What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteMistwood looks like such a good read. It's definitely on my radar.
