Emery Lord And I Interview Each Other For Bustle
Emery: Hi Heather! I'm so glad we're doing this! I've read and loved your books, so I'm excited to talk more about some of the threads I think we both tug at as writers. (I would also like to talk about how prolific you are because HOW. Nevermind, don't answer that. I'm going to assume you have a time-turner. Tell McGonagall I said what's up.)
So, our first books- Something Real and Open Road Summer- both feature a young girl existing in the media/public eye and the struggles that come with that. What sparked that examination of the inner workings of celebrity for you?
Heather: Emery! First, it is downright uncanny how often people talk about our books in the same breath. I'm so excited to chat and find out what makes you tick. So--Something Real and Open Road Summer. They're kind of besties at this point, right? Chloe from SR and Reagan and Lilah from ORS would totally hit it off, so I have high hopes for us. By the way, McGonagall sends her regards. As to your question about the inner working of celebrity: I'm originally from Los Angeles, so celeb culture has always been a part of my life. You can't really live there…
