Alexandra Monir is the author of the novel TIMELESS, which was just released in paperback from Random House Children’s Books. Her publisher has also just released “Secrets of the Time Society,” an e-book short story that serves as a bridge between TIMELESS and Monir’s upcoming novel, TIMEKEEPER. Alexandra took some time to answer our 20 Questions and share what it's like to be her for a day.

I sure did! Where did you spend your day? Alexandra Monir: You caught me on a good day- I went out to lunch and shopping in Santa Monica with my mom, and my grandfather who is here visiting from Paris. Who did you see/call? Alexandra Monir: I saw my family and my boyfriend.
Once each.
Yes! :)
Wrote a new scene and brainstormed on the plot.
There are always so many things I have to do in addition to writing --- sometimes it's hard to fit everything in!
I wrote an exciting new scene for the book, and also got a new MacBook Pro to write with!
Solid progress on the book, and some headway with my massive To-Do list. 11.
Mild --- not too warm, not too cold.
White sweater with skinny jeans tucked into black over-the-knee boots.
Research material!
Yes, I listened to music that inspires my writing. Today it was the Downton Abbey score. :)
Healthiest: Salad. Unhealthiest: Cookies & cream gelato!
Does walking my dog count? :)
Shopping with my mom.
Waking up feeling stressed over all the work I have left to complete!
I decided to get glasses to wear at home and while writing --- I thought I'd only ever be a contact lenses girl!
What device did you use to answer these questions?
My brand-new MacBook Pro!
