How did you come up with the idea for ACID? I think my 13-year-old self would have been horrified if she knew her first book wouldn't be coming out until *cough*twenty*cough* years later, though… It was, quite literally, a lightbulb moment. A few days after starting this story, I suddenly thought, 'I'm going to be a writer'. Afterwards, I couldn't stop thinking about this abandoned island, teeming with dinosaurs, and started to write a story about it (these days, you'd call it fanfic, but the term didn't exist back then). Then I went to see the film 'Jurassic Park'. I loved writing stories as a kid (I used to write 'books' about a mouse called Perry, who went on picnics with his family!), but up until the age of 13, I wanted to be an artist or a musician. I have a day job in my local library, which means I get to work with books all day, and help out at author events. I grew up at an environmental studies centre near London, went to art school in Cornwall and now live in the North East Midlands with my husband, who's an artist.

Today I'm interviewing UKYA author Emma Pass whose debut YA novel, ACID, is being published by Corgi Children's Books in the UK on 25th April 2013. We all like supporting YA and New Adult debut authors, but this year, rather than just read their books, I'll be highlighting them on my blog too, so you can hear about these wonderful authors.
