When I found out I was interviewing Lauren Kate (author of Fallen and Torment), I had one person in my mind — my friend Gege‘s 12 year old niece, Daniela. Earlier that week, I had seen Gege post the link to the announcement of Lauren Kate’s arrival in Manila (for the National Book Store Fallen event) on Daniela’s mom’s Facebook wall, and I deduced Daniela must be a Lauren Kate fan.
A few phone calls later, it was final — I was taking Daniela to meet Lauren Kate.
Gege later told me Daniela screamed when she found out she was going to meet one of her favorite authors!
