About Jody
Today I have author Jody Gehrman for an interview! Like the way this book sounds, I wanted this to be short and fun :)
Welcome to Pages!
1. Describe Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft in one sentence.
Falling in Love, baking a magical cake, fighting an evil necromancer—it’s all in a day’s work for Audrey Oliver, seventeen-year-old witch-in-training
2. What was your inspiration for writing it?
I've always been fascinated with witchcraft. I even dabbled in it a bit in my youth. I started writing this about seven years ago as a book for adults, but I never felt like it was quite working. Then I realized it would work well as a YA novel, so I pulled out the old draft and gave it a radical makeover.
3. If you could meet one of your characters in person, who would he/she be and why?
I'd like to meet Sadie Slater, Audrey's 21-year-old magic mentor. She's one of my favorite characters ever. She's biolingual, which means she can communicate with any living thing, which I think would be really cool.
4. What's your favourite type of cake? (not a magical one like Audrey's :D!)
My dad's got a secret recipe for chocolate cake. It's amazing!
5. If you could be a witch, what would you do with your powers?
I'd definitely fly. Also, I'd like to have the witch's wardrobe Audrey uses; she can whip up exactly the right outfit for any emotional state. How cool would that be?
6. You're sitting face to face with all your readers and fans: what would you say to them?
Thank you for lending me your imagination! The connection between a writer's brain and the reader's brain is sacred and, I think, quite magical.
Quick Questions!
Celebrity crush and why?
Ashton Kutcher because I adore his crooked smile.
Old book smell, new book smell, or e-reader smell :)
Old book smell.

Umbrellas. Love my clear plastic one that allows me to see the raindrops as they fall.
