So. If I Die officially comes out in the US/Canada three weeks from tomorrow. I kind of hate it that the release is so close on the heels of the Blood Bound release, because I feel like Blood Bound isn’t getting its fair share of attention, and I worked really hard on Blood Bound. But, I’m beyond thrilled with the critical response to Blood Bound so far and I worked hard on If I Die too. My dad can attest to that, because I was actually working on second round revisions of If I Die at his house, during what was supposed to be family time this past spring. When everyone else went to bed, I got out my laptop and worked at the kitchen table. Alone. Sans coffee. So I’m really proud of this one to, and I hope you all love it.
Anyway…this week kicks off five straight weeks of If I Die merriment! Each week you’ll get a chance to ask one of the five major Soul Screamers characters a question. That question will be your entry in the week’s drawing. That week’s character will answer a handful of the questions, but even if your question isn’t answered, you will be entered in the drawing.
This week’s character is: EMMA!
The rules:
- One question/entry per person. So think carefully. Also, read through what’s already been asked, to avoid duplicate questions. But please be aware that the questions MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. If you haven’t read the first four books and both available novellas, you may want to scroll past the questions without reading them and leave yours in the comment box.
- Repeat questions will still count as entries, but if the character answers a question asked more than once, the first person who asked will be credited in the response.
- Because of astronomical shipping costs and the size, weight, and number of the prizes, I will only be able to ship to US addresses. If you live outside of the US but have someone stateside willing to pass your prizes on to you, you’re welcome to enter and make those arrangements privately. But this time I can only ship to US residences. I apologize to the international readers and hope you understand.
- You may ask a question even if you don’t wish to be entered in the drawing.
- Please allow 3+ weeks for shipping.
- Void where prohibited by law.

This week’s prize:
- A signed set of the first five Soul Screamers novels.

- Assorted swag including an If I Die bookmark and an Enthralled postcard.
Here’s a closer look at the image on the shirt:
Interested? Leave your question for Emma in the comments of this post.
One last spoiler warning: The questions in the comments may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk!
Okay…go!
What are your thoughts on Nash?
Emma, does it bother you that Kaylee doesn’t tell you EVERYTHING about the bean sidhe business? Aren’t you curious?
Have you ever envied Kaylee in anyway?
What are your thoughts on Tod?
Kaylee, what if Nash gets back from inhaling demon’s breath again, what will you do?
Rhea, this is Emma’s week. Did you have a question for her?
Aww. Okay. Sorry. I didn’t see it. >.< Uhm. From all the things that happened, what can you say about the things you've experienced so far? Like getting back from dead?
Emma, what do you think of Kaylee & Nash “saving you” from death and how has that changed your relationship with Kaylee?
Are you ever going to accept Sabine’s apology or just keep giving her chocolate to make her go away?
Emma, have you ever wished that you never found out about the bean sidhe and reaper business?
ok… it’s an easy one… ever think of Tod and being more than friends?…
Do you think Kaylee is a good friend? And if the situation would be reversed would you tell Kaylee everything about Bean Sidhe “business” or would you try to protect her by keeping her in the dark?
Emma,is it weird having a friend who can sing to souls and hangs out with a reaper?
Emma, is there anything u regret with ur friendship with kaylee?
Emma, how has life changed for you now that you have been brought back from being dead. Are there any special abilities you are hiding or just a better sense of awareness?
What if Kaylee screams one day and it turns out that it’s you who is about to die! How will you cope up with that? Do you prefer death to come to you silently and unknowingly?
Emma, do you ever wish you could go back, and never find out about Kaylee being a bean sidhe? Or never have known her at all?
Emma, who would you prefer more Nash or Tod and why ?
Emma, I know you can be a tad reticent when it comes to Kaylee’s “world”, but are you game enough to do your own research about things she, Nash, and Tod won’t tell you and ask them yourself later based on what you found out?
I just got my copy of Blood Bound (can’t wait to start it) and my order of My Soul to Steal should be here any day, so I can caught up in the SS series. I also have a widget on my blog for Blood Bound and added it to my August (US) & September (UK) release post. Hopefully it will caught even more people’s attention
Don’t enter me into the giveaway. I’m not eligible.
Question for Emma: Now that you know bean sídhes exist, would you choose to be one if it were possible? If not, would you want to be something else that you once thought could never exist?
Emma even though you were brought back would you still have wanted them to save you knowing the consequences and that someone else had to take your place??
Emma, do you ever think of what would have happened if Kaylee and Nash hadn’t brought you back to life?
Emma, do you ever believe this is all just made up and Nash and Kaylee are just playing around with you hardcore?
Emma, how did you and Kaylee become friends?
Emma, do you ever feel a bit resentful towards Nash now, knowing that his addiction, and his drugs, were the reason your boyfriend died? Without Nash’s balloon, Kaylee could have saved him. Does that make it hard for you to be around him now?
Do you ever wish that Kaylee was just an ordinary human or something else that you never thought existed other than a bean sidhe? Why?
Emma, if you could have one supernatural ability, what would it be?
Emma, which would you choose: vampire or werewolf?
Emma, do you remember what dying was like?
Emma, do you ever feel like all of the “banshee” and “netherworld” stuff is just too much and that you don’t wanna be friends with Kaylee anymore because of it?
Emma, do you regret learning about Kaylee’s world and all that’s involved?
Hey Emma, Have you ever felt left out when around Kaylee and Nash, to the point where you wish you were either just like them, or never met them at all?
Emma, what happened to your dad?
Emma, have you ever been jealous of the amount of time Kaylee spends saving other people or thinking about/hanging out with Nash and Tod?
Emma, in the past you have been the one in the limelight (dating the jocks and going to places like taboo). Do you ever envy Kaylee for her new-found attention? Or do you prefer the backseat – no matter how in the dark you are kept?
Emma, knowing that Nash was involved in your boyfriends death, what do you think of what happened to him, his currently relationship with Kaylee, and how that effects you and your relationship with her? Do you wish Kaylee would just walk away from him, do you think he is still good enough for her, that he can every truly make up for what he did?
Emma, Do you have any side effects from dying and being brought back?
Vivien

Emma, what’s it like being Kaylee’s friend? Did you know she stopped you from dying and that instead someone else died to take your place? How do you feel about that?
Emma, what are your plans for the future? And how has learning about Kaylee’s world had an effect on your original plans?
Emma are u scared/ hate sabine?
You are Kaylee’s best friend so you have to have an opinion about the whole Nash situation. Do you think Kaylee has given Nash way too many chances after what he did to her? Do you think there’s someone more perfect for her?
Emma, how do you really feel when Kaylee keeps you in the dark? Do you agree that she’s trying to keep you safe or do you think she thinks you can’t handle it?
If you could have one of the Hudson boys without the whole bean sidhe/being dead thing standing in the way, and based on personality and looks alone, which boy would you choose if you had to, Tod or Nash? Personally I’d go with Tod.
Please don’t enter me for the drawing.
Since everyone’s asking about Nash and Tod…
Emma, what’s one thing about you we don’t know? That you’d be willing to share, of course.
Has finding out Kaylee is a bean sidhe changed the way you see your best friend? In a good or bad way?
Emma, did yu ever suspect Kaylee’s “panic attacks” was something supernatural?
How long have you known Kaylee? What was going through your mind the first time you heard Kaylee scream?
Emma, do you ever wish you could go back to not knowing about bean sidhes and the Netherworld?
How are you able to keep a normal life with all of this bean sidhe business you’ve been let in on?
Emma, how did you and Kaylee first become friends? You guys seem pretty inseparable, but why?
Emma, do you think it’s harder, or easier now knowing why Kaylee screams?
Emma, do you ever wish you could go back to not knowing about the Netherworld and bean sidhes? Basically, do you feel that ignorance is bliss, or that you’d rather know what’s actually going on – whether it be good or bad (and I’ve noticed, it’s usually bad
)
Emma, which would you want to be: bean sidhe, reaper, or mara, and why?
Emma, how do you feel about all of the bean sidhe buisness?
Emma, do you ever wish that you had never found out about the whole Bean sidhe business deal?
Emma, who is right for Kaylee, Nash or Tod??
Emma, do you remember what you felt as you were dieing and Kaylee was bringing you back to life? Were you aware of anything that was happening? Was there pain?
So Emma, do you get upset at Kaylee when she keeps things from you about bean sidhe problems? and how do you feel when Kaylee doesn’t tell you things “for you own protection”?
Emma, If you would you ever slap Sophie into next week for being such a “mean girl” to Kaylee?
I know I want to
Hi Emma, since you found out Kaylee and Nash are bean sidhe and tod is a reaper do you believe in other supernatural beings, from all you have seen, and what beings would you like to be real?
Emma did you ever accomplish the prank you and Kaylee want to pull on Kaylee’s ex or did her getting into a mental institute get in the way of it?
Emma, has the thought ever occured to you that there may be more “people” like Kaylee, Nash, Tod and Sabine. Has that affected your friendship with Kaylee in anyway? Would you go to Netherworld and back to save her tail anyday, anytime? Or would you sit home and hope life will spare your safety amongst the others?
Emma, how do u feel about having so many sisters?? Does it get in your way??
Emma, if Sabine performed her Mara “What is/are your biggest fear(s)” stare into your psyche, what do you think she’d see?
Emma, if you can be any supernatural being which would you be?
Do you see yourself ever being friends with Sabine or do you think that would betraying Kaylee?
Emma, does it bother you knowing about the netherworld and demon business and all the trouble Kaylee seems to get tangled up in? Would you rather not know anything about? And was it hard for you to accept all this supernatural stuff as truth?
Emma, do you ever wish you had a better job than at the movie theater??????
I’m Canadian (so you don’t have to enter me for the giveaway), but is it okay if I ask a question anyways? Thanks so much!
Hi, Emma! You know that Tod punched Nash for what he did to Kaylee, right? Would you do the same if you had the chance?
Does Emma ever get a real serious legit boyfriend and they sorta have what Kaylee and Nash have but better?
Emma team Reaper or team bean sidhe?
Emma, if you could become a bean sidhe, would you?
What character are you most connected with? Easiest to write about?
Have not had the chance to read the books yet BUT I have heard SOOO many good things about them and I am excited for this giveaway!!!!!! I hope to win but either way I am still getting!!;)))
My question will have to be,,,, do you love being in this book, who’s is your favorite character besides your self????
Emma, how comfortable are you with knowing about the supernatural parts of Kaylee’s life, and do you ever feel that you might find out more than you would want to know?
I’m reading Blood Bound right now and I LOVE IT. :]
My question to Emma:
What are your plans for the future?
Emma, I would like to ask you what was it like to (almost) die? Did you see/hear anything? I’m curious, thank you!
Emma, what do you think about the creature thing you recieved from Harmony?
If Tod made a move on you, what would you do?
Do you think that Kaylee can be a bit of a reckless vigilante, do you ever get mad/upset because she risks her life so often to save others–sometimes people that she barely knows?
Hey, Emma:
We know that you and Kaylee are best friends, but being her friend has now brought you to the attention of some pretty dangerous beings. Do you resent that?
Emma, if you were a bean sidhe and Kaylee was dying, would you save her like she did and let someone die instead? Can you live with yourself afterwards if you do?
Emma, what family member are you closest with, your mother or one of your sisters and why?
Emma, do you ever worry about reprecussions from being brought “back”?
Hi Emma!!!
1. How do you feel about your “role” in the series that Rachel has given you
Do you ever feel like demanding more??? (Now is the time you can ask Rachel, :hint: :hint: to maybe have your own book…)
2. What do you feel about Sabine? You think she usurped your place with Kaylee???
Or…..there’s no way she can become as close to Kaylee as you are 
Curious minds wants to know..
Emma, if you could change one thing, anything even relating to kaylee, tod, and Nash, or just you, what would you change and why?
Emma, do you ever wonder if your boyfriend didn’t take demons breath? Do you think you would still be together or do you think you would of tried to have a relationship with someone else?
Emma,
Do you ever feel like you take a backseat to all the supernatural drama?
Hi, Emma, there are alot of questions asked of you so I hope I’m not repeating one. Do you feel that when Kaylee tells Tod not to do anything with you she is trying to keep Tod to herself if Nash doesn’t work out?
Thank you,
Tanisha
Emma, do you think Kaylee and Nash could be together long term?
Emma,
Are you still interested/attracted to Alec even though you now know (should know anyway since Kaylee agreed to tell you EVERYTHING) that he is about 45 years old???
Hi Emma,
I was wondering if you felt that you would find someone that belonged just to you soon? Not just someone who can dance with you at a party or share a drink with. But something more special than that. Like being able to tell them everything and feel safe in his arms. Tod may be a reaper but he can be charming when he needs to be, he also tried to flirt with you a few times. *wink wink*
My question for Emma is:
Do you feel like Kaylee’s dad has had a big impact on your fun and friendship? Were things a bit easier to get away with when she only had her aunt and uncle to answer to instead of her over protective father?
Hi i have never read these books but so want to!!!! I have read awsome things about them!!!!Hope im not repeating a question!!!
My question is Emma do you ever wonder when will Kaylee’s scream means you will die????
So Emma, Alec or Tod?
If you died in book one and was offered the chance to become a reaper, would you? Why?
What are your feelings towards Tod and his profession?
Emma, How is it having so many sisters? I only have a brother & he can be a pain in the butt haha :p
Emma, do you enjoy having two older sisters or would prefer to have none????
Emma:
Has knowing that you died changed you in anyway?? Do you feel like your invincible and can party knowing that Kaylee is your friend or like you need to be more reponsible and mature??
Do you feel your relationship with Kaylee has changed (positively or negatively) since you found out that she was a bean sidhe?
Emma, we’ve been told that Kaylee has been your only (close) female friend for years. You must see something special in her. Can you describe how you see Kaylee? Her strengths, faults, anything that you think is important. Thank you.
Hi Emma! I was just wondering what was it like to be dead? Sorry if that’s insensitive. I love you and can’t wait to see you in If I Die!

Emma, what is your favorite memory with Kaylee? Before you found out about her being a bean sidhe.
Emma, (Seeing how everyone wants you to hook up with someone) are you even looking for a serious relationship or are you just looking for someone to have fun with? Also, what are you career aspirations?
Emma, if you could live anywhere else where would you want to live?
I loved Blood Bound, It was supper good. I’ve only read book one so far, but have read enough spoliors to get by I think without repeating … :’(
Emma, now that you know about bean shide and reapers do you think you could ever go back to your old life – we pertend that it was before Kaylee and Nash brought you back from the dead.
How did you and Kaylee first meet?
tristan210(at)live(dot)ca
Emma, Did you ever feel like a zombie when Nash & Kaylee brought you back from death?
What’s the attitude or “defect” that most bothers you in a person?
Emma do you have any advice for how to handle being dead?
Emma, would you be willing to date Alec even though he’s old enough to be your father?
Emma, if Kaylee needed to get rid of Sabine, would you grab a shovel?
Emma,Are you jealous of Kaylee?
Emma if you could go back and have a normal life giving up Kaylee, would you?
Emma does being back from the dead alter your perceptions of people around you and their motives for doing what they do?
Emma – what would your family do or say if they knew what you know now?
Emma what do you think about how Sabine is shamelessly trying to steal your best friend’s boyfriend?
Emma, how do you feel about how Kaylee has been treating Nash since his bout of Demon’s breathe?
Emma,
So as you do know all about Kaylee’s “bean sidhe business” you also know it puts Kaylee in a lot of dangerous situations. And that Kaylee often protects you from those situations (like when she saved you from dying).
My question is do you wish it went the the other way around so that you could protect Kaylee so she would not have to always risk her life for others?
Emma, ever wished you and Kaylee could swap lives?
Do you ever regret that someone had to die to save your life?
Being Kaylee’s best friend, didn’t you ever find it weird when she’s about to scream? Didn’t you ever suspect that she wasn’t entirely human?
Emma, do you miss the old times when you and Kaylee would just hang out and not have to worry about all the Netherworld stuff?
Emma, if you could be any kind of supernatural being, what type would you be and why?
What was the worst trouble you’ve ever been in?
Emma, aren’t you just the slightest bit jealous of Kaylee for having these cool awesome powers and being a bean sidhe?
Emma being that Kaylee chose your life in place of another would you choose someone to die to give Kaylee their years to keep her from dying?
Emma, have you ever thought that you were better off without Kaylee? Do you ever get tired of all the troubles she brings and the secrets she hide?
Question for Emma:
If you could give Kaylee romantic advice on how to handle Nash, what would it be?
Emma – What are your real thoughts on all of this bean sidhe business?
Are you jealous that kaylee has nash as a boyfriend and not u?
Emma, Do you feel any difference within yourself after almost dying?
Most (if not all) the comments are questions but I just wanted to assure you regarding the close release of the two books that your fans (including myself) will be buying both and (as always) recommending all your books to friends and family.
