Music as Author Muse
Posted on April 9, 2015 Leave a Comment
I’ve begun sharing my playlist with my husband. It was probably a mistake, because now he thinks I have a split personality based on my music choices. For kicks and giggles, I scrolled through my playlist for the past Undertow books and, well, yes – it appears I’m musically bi-polar. My musical preferences range wildly, but […]
Saying Farewell

Someone once said that, to say goodbye to a character that has been part of you for years, is like bidding farewell to a piece of you. As I write the last book in Eila’s story, I know it’s true. I have no doubt that when I’m done with the final book in the UNDERTOW […]
Cruel Summer’s Cape Cod Guide for Teens
Posted on February 19, 2015 Leave a Comment
It is no secret that all of my books in the UNDERTOW series are basically a teenager’s guide to Cape Cod. What to do, where to go, how to nag your parents. Well – okay, maybe not that last one, but if you do, don’t point fingers at me. In UNDERTOW, readers were introduced to […]

ABOUT THE AUTHORS A.C. Gaughen is shamelessly addicted to staying up far too late (it feels like stealing time), diet coke (it burns so good), Scotland (stupid country stole her heart and won’t give it back. Interpol has been ineffective for prosecution) and thieves (so she technically isn’t that mad at Scotland). She is published by Walker Books […]

Book Review – The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver
Posted on September 19, 2014 Leave a Comment
While I do not have a sister, the idea of giving up one’s whole existence for the sake of another is both poignant and painful to absorb. In The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver, readers travel through Ella Lawton’s life – that of a semi-outcast whose popular twin sister, Maddy, has cast her aside for […]
Why a NYT Bestselling author gave the money back.
Posted on August 29, 2014 Leave a Comment
I get asked all the time about being a self-published author. Why I did it, how hard was it, etc. I did it for many reasons, but like Karen Traviss, I too was a professional journalist for nearly 20 years. I was paid to write the story THEY WANTED ME TO WRITE. With UNDERTOW, I […]
