Hi everyone! My name is Amy Crandall,
and I am super excited to be here! Special thanks to Maia Gomez for hosting this blog tour!
A little bit about me: I am a debut
author and avid reader from British Columbia, Canada. I’ve been writing ever
since I can remember, and I published my first story on Wattpad.com at the age
of thirteen. I had a dabble of previous experience in publishing when I was in
elementary school—where I had a poem of mine published in A Celebration of
Poets – Summer 2012. My favourite genres to write are mystery/thriller and
fantasy—though I haven’t fully pursued the fantasy genre yet.
Fans of The Boy Next Door and Bates
Motel will love my recently published debut novel “DELUSIONS”!
“DELUSIONS” is your classic whodunnit
with many twists and turns along the way! The book focuses on a girl named
Abigale Fern and her journey from misunderstood teenager to possible murderer.
Your job? Find out if she’s truly guilty of the murders Agent Ross is convinced
she committed.
Read an #Excerpt!
The agent reached for the file he’d
thrown onto the table earlier. Flipping it open, he jabbed a finger at an
enlarged photo of a person lying on the pavement. “How do you explain this,
then?”
Abigale closed
her eyes, the photo still burning into the remnants of her mind. The night he
was attacked was the last time she’d seen him. She still wasn’t sure how he—
“Abigale!” Agent
Ross slammed his hand down in front of her, startling Abigale into opening her
eyes again. “I would like you to explain to me how a wild night of partying
ended in this!” He pointed at the photo again, and Abigale slapped a hand over
her mouth when she felt bile rising in her throat.
“I told you,”
she said, “I don’t know!”
An evidence bag
landed on the table. Abigale’s pulse skyrocketed. Blood stained the familiar
canvas.
“How do you
explain this, then?” he asked, his voice menacingly calm.
Abigale felt the
fingers around her throat again, squeezing the life out of her. The bag…she’d
gotten rid of it. It should have been in the landfill by now. How did they have
it? “I—what is this?”
“Why don’t you
tell me, Abigale? It was picked up from your house. It’s too bad you didn’t
conceal it better when the garbage truck came by to pick it up. He reported it
to us immediately. A day after the party.”
Shit.
“I’ve never seen
this before in my life. It’s not even my bag!”
Liar.
A vein protruded from his forehead, and
Abigale could sense his growing anger. “I know what happened at the party.”

Now for a short Q&A! Be sure to
write your questions in the comments and I will be happy to respond!
Q: What genre would you want to
try writing and what genre could you never write?
A: I would like to try writing
fantasy. I do have a layout for a fantasy novel I would love to pursue, but I
want to develop my writing a little more before I tackle it 
.
A genre I could never write would be erotic romance. I find it much too awkward
and personal to write about; therefore, I’ll be sticking to the YA side of
things for a while! Perhaps I will feel differently in the future? Fellow
writers: what is a genre you would like to try writing and what genre could you
never write?

Q: What’s your writing method?
A: This is a hard one. It honestly
depends on the novel and how easily the story is coming to me. I will sometimes
do brainstorming sessions, in which case I might plan out the whole novel. Other
times, I will “pants” my entire way through the story. I personally like having
a general guideline to go by for each chapter so I know what the main focus is,
but I will definitely let my imagination wander if it likes and adjust the plot
accordingly.
Q: Where do you start writing your
books? Middle, end, beginning?
A: Sadly, I start writing my books at
the beginning, which is awful because I find the beginning to be the most
difficult to write (the chapter after the exciting prologue). I find it so
draining as a writer, and yet, I know if I don’t start at the beginning I will
get super confused. How about you guys? Be sure to leave your questions in the
comments!
