I just finished reading your book "Pointe" and I have to say that I loved how you wrote it. I have never read something like that, and I was wondering how did you knew you wanted to become an author? What gave you the idea of writing "Pointe"? And if you have plans for the future to write another book?

Brandy Colbert Hi Andrea:

Thank you so much for reading POINTE! I'm so glad you enjoyed the writing and that it felt unique. :)

Thank you so much for reading POINTE! I'm so glad you enjoyed the writing and that it felt unique. :)

I've actually known I wanted to be a writer since I was a kid. I started writing when I was seven years old and I knew I wanted to be an author even back then. Books have always been special to me, but I also loved making up my own stories and putting them down on paper. I'm a pretty perceptive person with a wild imagination, so writing always felt like the best way to deal with all the "what if" scenarios I proposed to myself.

I was inspired to write POINTE after seeing a TV movie called "I Know My First Name Is Steven" when I was a child, which was based on the true story of Steven Stayner, who was kidnapped and held captive for seven years. I'd always wanted to write a kidnapping story of my own and had always wanted to write about a ballet dancer, and the two eventually came together into the book you read!

I am working on another novel, though I'm keeping details under wraps for now. But I can tell you it's another YA novel, I'm very excited about it, and I'll be sure to give any news about it as soon as I can. :)

Thanks so much for your question!(less)

Hi, Brandy. Duke's little sister is my favorite character in The Voting Booth. A friend and I were talking about how awesome she is, and we wondered if you plan to write a sequel/companion novel with her as the star, something along the lines of "10 Ways to Protest Without Getting Grounded (Much)." Dare we hope?

I absolutely loved writing her, and while I don't have plans for a sequel or companion novel at the moment, I never say never, especially when it comes to a favorite character. And your potential title is A+! Thanks so much for reading and reaching out! :)(less)
