LA: Probably revising it to smooth out the crazy wild plot twists. OA: What was the hardest part about writing this book? I want to add, that the evil therapist in this book, Dr, Kopeck is by no means based on my wonderful and brilliant friend. And, in a huge irony, the person who helped me figure out Jeremy and all his complicated psychological issues, is my therapist friend who lives there. I’d had this germ of a story festering for years about a boy who conjures the ghost of his crush, someone whom he could never have in real life. I’ve spent a lot of time there visiting good friends, and this story, I guess just came to be. It’s got that spooky Sleepy Hollow kind of vibe. It’s an upscale town with winding rural roads, rivers and gorges, reservoirs and lots of history. The fictional town in the book, Riverton, is based on the very real town of Croton-on-Hudson, a quasi suburban town forty-five minutes north of the New York City border. LA: It’s hard to say, but most like it was the location. The night his secret crush disappears, Jeremy Glass winds up in the hospital with a devastating injury and begins to receive messages from her from beyond the grave. OA: Give us the Twitter pitch :) What’s your book about in 140 characters or less?
