I am thrilled to welcome Jill Hathaway, author of the Slide series to Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf for the Impostor Blog Tour today !! She's sharing her thoughts on Polyvore:)
ALL THINGS VEE (A Polyvore Collage)
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m pretty much obsessed with Polyvore, this site where you can make collages—mainly with clothes and home furnishings, but also you can import any fun pictures from the web.
I was using it for a few months before I realized I could create collages for my characters, but then it became this really great inspirational writing tool for me. I made a few collages for my characters from SLIDE.
This one represents Vee. I added all the things that make her Vee—her mother's old CDs, her favorite Pop Tarts, a shirt I could totally picture her wearing given her fondness for astronomy, and of course some chucks. The “You can’t touch this” hints at her reluctance to touch anything that might make her slide.

What if a killer took control of you?
Vee Bell’s gift (or curse) of “sliding”—slipping into the mind of another person and experiencing life, briefly, through his or her eyes—has been somewhat under control since she unwillingly witnessed the horrific deaths of her classmates six months ago.
But just as things are getting back to normal, Vee has a very bizarre experience: she loses consciousness and finds herself in a deserted area, at the edge of a cliff, with the broken body of the boy who took advantage of her on the rocks below.
As Vee finds herself in stranger and stranger situations with no memory of getting there, she begins to suspect that someone she knows has the ability to slide—and that this “slider” is using Vee to exact revenge on his or her enemies.
Jill Hathaway lives in the Des Moines area with her husband and young children. Having earned her BA in English Education from the University of Northern Iowa and her MA in Literature from Iowa State University, she teaches high school English and dual credit courses for Des Moines Area Community College.
SLIDE, her debut, was released from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins in March 2012. The sequel, IMPOSTOR, will be out in March 2013. She is working on two additional books to be released in 2014 and 2015 (not related to the SLIDE series).
Polyvore sounds so cool! I'll have to try it out with my characters.
ReplyDeleteHow did I not know about Polyvore before?! I'm all over that! (As long as I can figure it out.) I have Imposter and can't wait to read it!
