All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill Book Trailer - Interview with Actress Hannah Mariska

Earlier today we heard from Casey Davoren of Dark Readers about the experience of creating the official trailer for All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terill for Bloomsbury Children's Books. Now it's the turn of Hannah Mariska of My Book Journey, who starred as Em in the trailer.

How did you get into acting? And, more specifically, acting in book trailers? How long have you been acting in them?

I’ve wanted to act since I was a kid, but in school I was really shy and didn’t have drama lessons I could go to.

2013 YA UK Debut Interview: All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill

We all like supporting YA and New Adult debut authors, but this year, rather than just read their books, I'll be highlighting them on my blog too, so you can hear about these wonderful authors.

Today I'm interviewing YA author Cristin Terrill whose debut YA novel, All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill, is being published by Bloomsbury Children's Books in the UK today, 1st August 2013. Read on for more:

All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill - Em is locked in a bare, cold cell with no comforts. Finn is in the cell next door. The Doctor is keeping them there until they tell him what he wants to know. Trouble is, what he wants to know hasn't happened yet.

Em and Finn have a shared past, but no future unless they can find a way out. The present is torture - being kept apart, overhearing each other's anguish as the Doctor relentlessly seeks answers. There's no way back from here, to what they used to be, the world they used to know. Then Em finds a note in her cell which changes everything. It's from her future self and contains some simple but very clear instructions. Em must travel back in time to avert a tragedy that's about to unfold. Worse, she has to pursue and kill the boy she loves to change the future. from Goodreads.
