Christine Potter TB: Was there a certain time in your life you knew you wanted to write? CP: I can’t remember ever NOT writing. I wrote poems as a really little girl, before I wrote stories, but by the time I was in junior high, I was writing fiction and verse both. Writing has always been something I’ve done—kind of like breathing. Or eating. It’s that kind of important. TB: What are you currently working on? CP: I just finished a project I’ve been working on for the better part of five years called The Bean Books: Time Runs Away With Her, In Her Own Time, and What Time Is It There? They are YA paranormal fiction, time travel set mostly in the early 1970’s. I’m working on promoting the last book of the trilogy, which moves my characters into college and New Adult territory. It was just released on December 1st by Evernight Teen, the publisher of the series. I had an idea for a fourth Bean book if there is call for one —but I also have started writing some big-girl romance under a pen name.
