Author Interview + {GIVEAWAY!}: India Lee


Hidden Gem by Indie Lee
Pages: 224
Genre: YA Contemporary

Lavishly disguised pop singer, Queen Bee, is known abroad for her high-fashion wardrobe and killer vocals. In the states, she's just Gemma Hunter - shy suburban teenager in her strange new role of high school junior.

Luckily, Gemma is taken under the wing of the fiery and popular Madison, who leads her into the high school life of the charmed. Her world as Gemma quickly becomes everything she ever wanted in a normal life - that is until international teen heartthrob, Tyler Chase, announces his celebrity crush on Queen Bee. Suddenly, Gemma's alter ego becomes a household name as the handsome singer's loyal "Tyler Chasers" create a frenzy to discover her true identity.

And just when Gemma thinks she can hide from the celebrity drama in her high school life, Lucas - her next door neighbor as well as Madison's boyfriend - develops an interest in her that goes far beyond platonic, and Gemma soon learns that rumors aren't strictly for the stars.
Hello India!  Welcome to What’s Your Story! I’m very excited to be interviewing you today. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!

We’re going to be doing this a little different today than how interviews are usually done. Since the Hidden Gem series is about a girl who’s a famous singer, our interview is going to play on that theme.

Open up iTunes or your iPod, go to all your songs, and put them on shuffle. Press play. The name of the song that comes up will be the answer to the question. Write the name of the song and the name of the artist. For each question, go to the next song.

  9. My favourite singer? I've got so many! I rather like Adele (she's got such a unique and husky voice, and I love the lyrics to her songs) and well, similarly to if somebody asks me who my fave author is, my reply is: there's too many people to choose from! :)
    Thanks heaps for the giveaway! I love YA books featuring Hollywood and celebrities.
