Sarah Hantz is on the GCC with me and her new book is The Second Virginity of Suzy Green. (You can check out her blog here.)

After the death of her sister, former Goth Suzy moves to a new town and tries to be as perfect as her memory of the late Rosie. The new Suzy Green makes straight As, hangs with the in-crowd at her new school, and dates the hottest guy around. And since all her new friends belong to a virginity club, she joins, too. So what if she’s not technically qualified? Nobody in town knows . . . until Suzy's ex turns up.

Chicklish said: "This is a fabulous feelgood book, full of humour and engrossing twists."

Anyway, Hantz is much more like good Suzy than Goth Suzy, from what I can tell from her Disreputable History interview, but she has an awesome idea for a club and pretended to be a store mannequin on a regular basis! Read on.

DISREPUTABLE HISTORY Q&A

1. Tell me the sneakiest thing you ever did.
Gosh…… well I’m not really a sneaky person…. though when I was a teenager I’d take the bus to town and pay child fare, and then go into an 18 rated movie (is that sneaky, or does it make me a good manager of money??)

2. Tell me the sneakiest thing that happens in your new book.
Suzy lies about being a virgin so she can join the Virginity Club

3. Are you a prankster? Tell me a story.
Hmm…… I remember when I was sixteen I worked in my fathers shop. He sold children’s clothes. When I was bored I’d stand in the shop like a mannequin then suddenly when people were looking in the window I’d move. It sure made them jump. And kept me amused for hours.

4. Were you in any clubs or societies in high school? Did any of those club activities make it into your novels?
No, I was too naughty to be in any…… like Suzy in her previous life.

5. Do you consider yourself a feminist? Why, or why not?
Yes…. I believe women and men should be treated equally in all aspects of life.

6. How does your answer to question 5 show up in your new book?
Suzy sorts things out for herself. She doesn’t rely on a guy to help her out.

7. The club in my book is called The Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds. If you were to found a secret society, what would it be called, and what would its mission be?
The Chocolate Club. It’s mission would be to invent the most perfect tasting, zero calorie, chocolate in the whole world, of which there was a never ending supply.
