Maree Anderson

Biography

Maree Anderson writes paranormal romance, fantasy, and young adult books. She lives in beautiful New Zealand, home of hobbits, elves, and kiwis — both the fruit and the two-legged flightless variety. She's a bookworm, a chocoholic, a coffee-lover, and she has an extremely amusing cat named "Twink".

Maree's first novel for young adults, the multi-award-winning Freaks of Greenfield High, was optioned for TV, and currently has over 2 million reads on Wattpad. Alas, Freaks didn't make it to the small screen, but it sure was a fun ride while it lasted. Readers will be please to know she is definitely planning on writing more books in her popular Freaks and Crystal Warriors series.

Smashwords Interview

* What's the story behind your latest book?
My latest release, Tangent, is a prequel set in the Liminals world. Liminal (Book 1) and Phase (Book 2) feature teenagers Wren and Kade. Tangent came about because I wanted to explore Kade's past. As a child, Kade was subjected to horrific experiments, and when Tangent begins, he is Kincaid Pharmaceutical’s favorite lab-rat. When Rix, who's about to become another liminal lab-rat, encounters Kade, the two join forces and hatch a plan to rescue Rix's friend Lily.
* If this is part of series, how did you come up with the idea for the series?
I got the idea for the Liminals series while reading Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. Mac (the heroine of the Fever series) was talking about liminal states of being and my mind just went for a loop. “Liminal” is an intermediate state or phase or condition; a threshold or transitional state. And it got me thinking about how often I'm having a conversation and someone talks right over me like I'm invisible. So I grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled some notes... which expanded into a story about sixteen-year-old Wren, who constantly feels like she’s invisible, and then discovers that on and off she really IS invisible... because she's a "lim" who can phase in and out of the real world.
