A teen girl who sees visions of the past must use her gift to save a kidnapped classmate in Shani Michelle’s high-stakes YA thriller You Should Have Seen This Coming!
Hayden sees the past. Just touching an object will occasionally give her flashes of the previous owner’s memories. And if that memory happens to be a deeply hidden secret, then she has no problem making you pay for your crime, in cash.
Cassie sees the future, and it sucks. She will randomly wake up from dreams filled with disasters that she feels compelled to stop, and she would really like to stop watching her boyfriend fall in love with someone else!
But when Cassie tries to warn Hayden that her latest blackmailing scheme is a trap, she knows she’s really in trouble. All her visions warn her of the upcoming kidnapping, nothing she does stops it. And it’s all Hayden’s fault!
Can Hayden’s gift help her find Cassie before it’s too late?

When did you start writing?
I always loved books and writing. My mom even has some little books I created when I was very young! A few years after college I started taking it more seriously. I started working for a TV news station (where I still write for the news) and decided I wanted to do something a little more creative too. I started writing fiction, and here we are today!
What makes you want to write?
I love stories. I get really excited by new ideas and can’t wait to get them on paper!
Do you ever get writer's block and how do you get over it?
I do. Sometimes I just need to take a little break from writing to get past it, and other times I just need to push through—to sit down and write even if I’m not feeling like it.
Do you have a special way of going about writing?
I don’t have any special rituals or habits. However, I do like to write sequentially. It’s hard for me to just skip over a chapter. I like to get it done before moving on to the next one.
Do you have any works in progress?
I have a few things I’m playing around with—both YA and middle grade!
What are your hobbies?
Reading is a big one! I love performing too—although I haven’t been on a stage in awhile. I did get to narrate some audiobooks though and that was a lot of fun!
Who is your favourite character in You Should Have Seen This Coming?
Each of them holds a place in my heart. It’s hard to pick! I’m going to say Hayden. Her first chapters came to me right away and were so much fun to write!
What was your favourite part of writing You Should Have Seen This Coming?
Finishing! ;) It’s just such a nice feeling to hit that last page and to know you completed a full book.
Quick-fire questions:
Chocolate or ice cream? Ice Cream
Paperback or ebook? Both! Paperbacks because I love the feel of a physical book. Ebooks because I have limited space, and it’s easier to carry a whole bunch of them around.
Dogs or cats? Dogs
Go out of stay in? Stay in
Summer or winter? Summer
