Life As We Knew It Author Interview

Last year when I read Susan Beth Pfeffer's drop dead amazing novel Life As We Knew It, the book had such a pull on the reader that often I'd find myself looking up from it in a kind of daze, convinced that I needed to find food, shelter, and extra clothing NOW! Those of you familiar with the book will recall that it's about a small family and how they deal with the horrendous natural consequences that come when a meteor hits the moon and brings it closer to earth.

For those of us living in New York City, there was little doubt in anyone's mind that if that whole Meteor/Moon theory plays out, we're going to be dead. So it was with great pleasure that I read in a SCI FI Wire article that not only is there a companion novel to Pfeffer's book in the works, it's set in NYC! Mind you, it's named The Dead and Gone, but we knew that already didn't we?

Thanks to Shaken and Stirred for the link.
