Give a listen to the latest Shelf Addiction author feature! On today's podcast episode I'm interviewing author Deanna Cabinian. Deanna and I discuss how music and books make an amazing pairing for both the listener and the writer and Deanna shares her series, Thompson Lake.
Author Bio
I’ve been writing in some form or fashion since I was five years-old. My first YA novel, One Night, was released in September 2016. When I’m not working or writing I like to travel. I’m Filipino, Italian, and Scottish and I’m married to a Serbian which gives me a unique worldview! My favorite authors are John Green, Tommy Wallach, David Baldacci, Lisa Scottoline, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Jesse Andrews, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. Also, I love a good musical, the kind that makes you weep and fills your heart with joy and hope for humanity.

Thompson may be only seventeen but he knows he’s just checked into Heartbreak Hotel for good, now that his girlfriend, Caroline, has put an end to their burning love. Since then he’s been sleepwalking through his summer job at Super Kmart while desperately dreaming of ways to win her back. He even drops by the Tiki House on Elvis Presley Night hoping that she, a diehard fan of the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” will be there as well. That’s when he meets Johnny Lee Young—real estate agent by day, Hawaii’s Favorite Elvis Impersonator by night—and the lovesick teen’s world suddenly takes a wild and unexpected turn.
As luck would have it, Johnny needs a temporary assistant to help with equipment and social media and Thompson eagerly accepts the offer, hoping it will distract him from his painful and lingering romantic issues. But like Thompson, Johnny is nursing a secret heartbreak and pining for his own lost love. So the new roadie starts making plans—with a little help from his friends Ronnie and Greta—to accompany the counterfeit King on an odyssey of a lifetime that will take them far from their island paradise home in search of true love.
