{Interview with author Shari Slade}
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been putting stories on paper for as long as I can
remember. My first efforts were illustrated with crayon and affixed to the
refrigerator with alphabet magnets. I spent several years seriously focused on
poetry. All very emo. Why are you running away? Stop. Come back. I promise I
won’t make you read it. I pricked my finger on the Happily Ever After three
years ago and I’ve been under the romance spell ever since.
Where do you find inspiration?
All around me? Plot bunnies nibble my ankles when I’m
eavesdropping in line at the grocery store, watching the news, skimming twitter
or listening to a song on the radio. I’m always open to the potential for
story.
Tell us about your book and how we can get it.
THE OPPOSITE OF NOTHING is a contemporary new adult novella full
of dirty IMs, angst, and achy sweetness.
Callie Evans would rather hide out in her DJ sound booth than

Tayber King.

sees an opportunity to explore his sexier side using a fake online profile, she

You can find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.
What are you working on now? What’s next?
I have a few irons in the fire. There’s a secret project I’m
super excited about. It is smokin’ hot and will be announced very soon. I’ll
also have a short story set in the Copeland College world included in a charity
anthology available in June. The anthology, SUMMER RAIN, will benefit RAINN
(Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and feature works from Ruthie Knox,
Molly O’Keefe, Charlotte Stein, Cecelia Tan, Mary Ann Rivers, Amy Jo Cousins,
Audra North, Alexandra Haughton and me. I’m so excited for this anthology it’s
a wonderful cause and an amazing group of writers. Oh, yeah, and this fall,
I’ll release another Copeland College novella.
What is the best book you’ve read in the last six months?
That is such a hard question. I read so many amazing books that
picking a favorite is nearly impossible. I recently read HE’S COME UNDONE by
Theresa Weir and it just killed me. It deals with all the issues I love
exploring: Identity, Mistakes, Awkwardness, Old Hurts. And it has so much
humor. Laugh out loud funny is so hard to do, especially in the middle of an
angst-fest. *hat tip*

AUTHOR BIO
Shari
Slade is a snarky optimist. A would-be academic with big dreams and
very little means. When she isn't toiling away in the non-profit sector,
she's writing gritty stories about identity and people who
make terrible choices in the name of love (or lust). Somehow, it all
works out in the end. If she had a patronus it would be a platypus.
