Blog Tour: Keri Mikulski (Character) Interview and Giveaway

I'm excited to introduce Taylor, the main character of Head Games. Thanks so much for answering my questions Taylor! At the bottom you can also find a chance to win a gift card and fun basketball related swag!



1. Hey Taylor, thanks for stopping by! What first got you interested in playing basketball?

Definitely, my dad. He used to play semi-pro so he’s a basketball fanatic.


2. Other than basketball, what else do you enjoy doing?

Playing basketball at the beach courts (opps…). I mean, hanging out with Hannah… And spending time with someone who shall remain nameless. *blush*


3. Fashion may not be your strength, but it is Hannah's. How did you two become friends?

Years ago, I brought a Bratz doll in to school for show and tell dressed like Lisa Leslie. Hannah was so impressed with my design skills that she invited me over to her house. We’ve been inseparable ever since.


4. Who is your idol? Do you have a famous basketball player you look up to?

I have three. Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi, and Candace Parker. I look up to Parker because she’s incredibly strong on and off the court. I love Leslie because she’s the most amazing center of all time. And I look up to Taurasi’s work ethic. She worked incredibly hard to become the best player in the WNBA.


5. What is some advice you can share with other teenagers entering high school?

Don’t let your friend talk you into walking the runway for a fashion show. And watch out for boys carrying lists. :)

  5. After reading Head Games, I was curious how Hannah and Taylor became friends - the Bratz doll story makes so much sense :)

  13. Nice interview! I was never very good at basketball (I was more likely to foul out of the game). Head Games sounds interesting, thanks for the great giveaway. ^_^
