Shaina Cilimberg has written the novel Crowded and brought together some of the characters for an interview.....
Cole Martin is a new Christian and dating Emily Davis. He loses her trust after sexting another girl and is now trying to win her back. But it’s not easy with the competition. Josh Summers, the new kid in school with a dark past, also has his sights set on Emily.
Emily is torn between them both. For a while she enjoys being fought over, but realizes how destructive the competition between Cole and Josh has become. Who will Emily choose?
Thank you Josh, Cole, Lydia and Emily for stopping by. I have a few questions for you.
1. High School can be the pits. What do
you guys do to make it tolerable?
Josh Summers: I'm ashamed to admit I make
it worse for others in return. I used to be really popular and a bully at my
old school, then something happened that ruined my rep. When I got to Deep
River High, I bullied Cole Marting because I wanted Emily. I also found
out about the hate page dedicated to me on Facebook and some at my new school
were even joining it. I've been so consumed with guilt I had a breakdown and
felt so hated and was hated by so many people. I am a Christian though, and I want
to live for Christ so badly. I've been through so much and I know I brought
some of it on myself but some was because people don't know how to forgive and
when people don't forgive me, I take it out on others.
Emily Davis: I just try to ignore the
fake, popular girls and keep to my own friends. I love to draw and I love
Jesus. I just get torn between two boys and I wasn't use to it so I let it get
to my head so to speak.
Cole Martin: I just try to do what's
right and be a better Christian and hang with friends.
(New Character-PerfectForgiveness) Kirk
Williams: I did something horrible...
2. If there was one thing you would like to change in your life, what would it be?
Cole: that I wasn't abused
Josh: That I never made my ex get an
abortion and that I lived in a bigger house and that my family was rich again.
Emily: I love being me!
Kirk: That I was never bullied, never
abused, never abandoned and that I never killed anyone.
3. What makes you happy?
Josh: when people decide they don't hate me.
Emily: Me!!! HAHAHA
Cole: growing closer to God and my
friends.
Kirk: feeling accepted and forgiven even
if for a moment
4. What does your future hold for you?
Josh: You'll have to read the next book, Perfect Forgiveness and see :)
Emily: I see myself as an artist.
Kirk: (new character in Perfect
Forgiveness) I'm very scared...juvie or adult jail it's not looking good.
5. What type of music do you listen to?
Does it cheer you up when you are blue or motivate you when you need to
get a move on?
We all listen to Christian rock,
Christian rap, Christian alterna, Pop, rock, alterna.
