Q&A With Bryce
Tell
us a little about your new book
The
Reading Buddy is a YA
horror/thriller that is reminiscent of the teen horror novels from the early
90s. It is also about someone overcoming social anxiety. The more I worked on
it, the more I came to like the main character.
Where did you get the idea for The Reading Buddy?
I've wanted
to write a book like this for a while. The initial idea for the book was that
the main character would have a reading buddy that becomes obsessed with him. I
then decided that Blake, the protagonist, would suffer from social anxiety. I
took those two ideas and put them together. As I was writing it, the story went
in directions that I hadn't planned on. The ending is pretty crazy.
Give us five words that describe your
novel
I would say
that the novel is fun, thrilling, surprising, scary, and I hope
meaningful.
What makes you most excited about your
book’s release?
I can't wait
to see what people think of this book. It's different. I was shooting for a fun
kind of horror novel combined with a more serious character study. I hope that
I was able to pull it off.
