Crossroads Tour: Tonya Hurley

Tonya Hurley is the New York Times best-selling author of the highly acclaimed “ghostgirl” book series; creator, writer and producer of animated and live action hit television series; writer and director of independent films; writer and director of commercials for Playstation, Gameboy and Warner Home Video; and creator of groundbreaking videogames. 1. You have accomplished so much in your life already. From writing books, directing movies, and writing films; how do you find time for it all? What is the biggest challenge?

If you’re passionate about an idea, you have to see it through. I think of myself as a storyteller, so I write down my story first and see which format best suits it.
2. On top of being a New York Times best-selling author, you have received countless awards for your other accomplishments. Can you share a little of what that has been like and what honors tend to mean the most to you?
Without sounding sappy, the biggest honor is being Isabelle’s mom.

3. You have worked with so many amazing people, can you tell us if there is anyone in the writing world that you would love to work with, and why?
There are so many, I don’t even think I could list them!
4. The “ghostgirl” series has some of the most beautiful and unique covers I have seen for any novel. Did you have a lot of input into this process?
The direction and art was taken from my website. Little, Brown did a fantastic job translating that into a book cover.

5. The third book in the trilogy, ghostgirl Lovesick, was just released in July. What projects are coming up for you now?
Something will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
