Dazzling Debs: PRADA & PREJUDICE
My third visitor for Dazzling Debs week is Mandy Hubbard, in celebration of her new release PRADA & PREJUDICE. The ten year-old Pam inside me is ferociously jealous of Mandy because she rides horses. Sigh. Are you with me? Well, set aside your jealousy and buy the book, because otherwise you’ll miss a fun tale…
A bit about PRADA & PREJUDICE:
Fifteen year old Callie just wants to impress the popular girls when she buys a pair of Prada heels on her class trip to London. She didn’t plan on tripping, conking her head, and waking up in 1815! Now she’s wearing corsets with her designer pumps, eating bizarre soups, and breaking up engagements. If only the nineteen year old Duke of Harksbury wasn’t so bloody annoying, she might have a little fun in Austen-Era England…
Mandy answered my three fave questions:
--I think teen books can, and should, be read by grown-ups. Tell my grandma Grace why she should read your book.
Grace, don't you just LOOOOOVE Mr. Darcy? And wouldn't you just LOOOOOVE to read about a hot guy who is kinda like him? Of course you would!
--What would your 16-year-old self say if she read your book?
MMMM, Alex is hot. :-)
--I am fascinated by writers' inspirations. Tell me about a real-life setting that found its way into your book.
Actually, there are not ANY locations/settings from my life that are in the book! I've never been to England, and the entire book is set in that country. Some day....
And finally, all about Mandy:
Mandy Hubbard grew up on a dairy farm outside Seattle, where she refused to wear high heels until homecoming-and hated them so much she didn’t wear another pair for five years. A cowgirl at heart, she enjoys riding horses and quads and singing horribly to the latest country tune. She’s currently living happily ever after with her husband (who, sadly, is not a Duke) and her daughter (who is most definitely a princess). Prada and Prejudice is her first novel.
