1. What’s your favorite kind of pizza?
To paraphrase Taye Diggs (in the regrettably short-lived DayLight): I like my pizza with no more than 3 ingredients. Pizza dough, pizza sauce, and cheese for me. But LOTS of cheese.

2. Describe the contents of the trunk of you car.
A first-aid kit, and some old plastic water bottles that I’m always telling myself I’ll clean out next time.

3. What extra curricular activities did you participate in in high school?
Drama — usually as a writer, but every once in a while I would act too. I also did yearbook.

4. If you could have one exotic animal as a pet, what would you choose?
I’d choose a cat. They may be common but they’re still exotic. (Sadly, I am allergic.)

5. Name one thing that you do every morning.
Spend at least a minute trying to find my glasses.

About Leah’s book Mistwood:
Everyone tells Isabel that she is the Shifter – the ancient shape-shifting creature who has protected the kings of Samorna for centuries. They need her to be the Shifter. Prince Rokan risked everything when he rode into the Mistwood to summon her to his side; Ven, the sorcerer’s apprentice, has devoted his life to studying her legend; and even Princess Clarisse, who fears and hates her, depends on Isabel’s powers to further her own plans.

But Isabel doesn’t feel like the Shifter. She feels like a lonely human girl, beset by flashes of memory that do more to confuse than to help her. If she is the Shifter, why can’t she change her shape? Why doesn’t she remember what made her flee the castle so many years ago? As she is drawn deeper into a web of magic and assassination, Isabel will have no choice but to look for answers. But her search will lead her to the one question the Shifter hasn’t faced in a thousand years: where does she come from, and what does she really want?
