And I think your decision to hold out for a traditional publisher is wise! I am doing the same for my MG stuff. I love the publisher who puts out my Lily Black RS stuff and appreciate that support, but as a smaller house there's still lots for me to do and I can't imagine doing it entirely alone.<br /><br />Love the interview, too! I will pass on winning a copy since I have so little YA reading time, but I will add this intriguing book to my TBR pile!Suzanne Warrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141459404743769260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-60513428629862139742018-09-10T19:39:25.374-04:002018-09-10T19:39:25.374-04:00So excited to read this book!So excited to read this book!Lauren 28https://www.blogger.com/profile/10977469413721312053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-88611675812660785022018-09-09T02:46:01.952-04:002018-09-09T02:46:01.952-04:00Congrats to Rebecca!

I have the same issue as Rebecca mentioned with some books when they're dark but then pull back. It's not like teens/young adults are either oblivious to darkness or don't want to revel in it now and then...after all, most horror movies, at least when I was growing up, were aimed at the young adult market!

I loved writing from the villain's viewpoint, and still do in novels. But I can't maintain that darkness for a novel. I always see the humor. So kudos to Rebecca for carrying it out and following through.Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-2154577390672289582018-09-06T07:15:10.128-04:002018-09-06T07:15:10.128-04:00Congratulations for the blog recognition!
