Tuesday, October 21 shortlists of Hebban were | Crimezone Awards announced. One of the nominees is Cis Meijer, who makes Dazed chance with her book on the Hebban | Crimezone Audience Award for Best YA thriller. I sent her a message symbol to fathom how that feels now, such a nomination.
Cis Hi, congratulations on that beautiful nomination for the Hebban | Crimezone Audience Award for Best YA thriller. What do you say that before the circus breaks out, do a little symbol interview for Thriller Readers Blog
That Stunned by the readers doing very well and thanks symbol to them now on the shortlist for the best YA thriller state, I find great. I worked hard to Numb to make something beautiful. It's my debut and he is only a few months in the shop, but all the appreciation I now get, I also see as a real crowning! Regardless of which book will win, I feel a winner.
The shortlist is a nice list of books together. Two of them I read and I found both very good. To the other two I'm just as curious. The price I give all four writers as much but if I had a name should mention: I can well imagine that Cruel Mel Wallis de Vries will win. Cruel is a top YA thriller. Mel writes very exciting and lets you crawl into the head of its main character. She makes thriller symbol elements such as stress, anxiety, distrust really felt. IJzersterk!
If I read a book, but I'm trying to figure out how it is that a dialogue, a scene or a character fascinates me, and what it than the power of the writer. I like to think about it. I read mostly English and American books (translated). In another interview I took Mo Hayder, because I think she is very strong in building tension. Karin Slaughter can also write as increasing heart rate. It is of course not only the voltage. Their dialogues enjoy reading and the story lines are strong and surprising. And their books keep me repeatedly buoys. In that sense they are examples for me.
I like to read thrillers, especially American and English. My closet is full of Mo Hayder, Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter, symbol Nicci French. symbol Birdman (Mo Hayder), I believe I too scary. If I do not read thriller, symbol the book should not be too sad. After an exciting book I sleep badly, but after a pathetic book even worse. Anyways I love books with crisp dialogues, great pace and humor. But I find it difficult to read when writing a script. Reading is now almost silent ...
Hmm ... I have now just Birdman still on my list of 'yet to discover books / schrijvers'-stand ... But back to your book. Why Dazed correct indeed must win?
Whether you win or not, you could always have some on. I think then .... And that nomination, how do you think that soon and maybe even winning the prize will affect your reputation and therefore your future as a writer?
I have no idea about that. Do you? I estimate that if I do not win my nomination forget. Not by me of course. But whether it affects my future as a writer? I keep writing anyway. If I win the prize, I think people at the release of my next book more watching me. But otherwise, the next book you write is not as good as the book before using it have a price. The 'Best YA thriller' is in my opinion simply the ultimate appreciation for your book. And uh, next year I can look back on all this and more will surely tell you about.
I myself think that in the short term for quite some publicity, increased sales and a larger group of fans will care. In the long term? No idea, but if you hold the attention knows, this is a great stepping stone for a long-term effect. And it may lead to some more motivation to continue with your second book ... and now we have it on this: can you tell us what it all about?
Yes, you are right in. The price would certainly give a good energy boost when writing symbol my next book. I'd like to tell you more about my next script, but now it can not be just. With what I've written so far, I'm happy, but I still have to work a lot on it. There are quite a few exciting chapters and characters that I like to return to daily to / work with. The settin also
