Thank you for the “industry insider” interview! It’s always good to hear straight from the horse’s mouth.

Excellent point on the “capital-V villains,” as you called them. I prefer characters in the books I’m reading (including the antagonists) to have fleshed out personalities and motives for their actions beyond just “doing EV-il.”

I never knew that it was done to give an author a pen name because they have had poor sales history in the past. Does it happen often?

This is a great interview. The questions are exactly what I would have asked and the answers truly informative.

Thanks to Liz for visiting and Blogmistress for an excellent interview. I agree that it’s great YA SF is coming back. That’s just the sort of shot in the arm that SF needs – more younger readers.

“I look for books that are page-turners, that are entertaining, but that hopefully are thought-provoking and emotionally engaging as well. ”

–I thought you phrased this so well! Thanks for the terrific interview .

I enjoyed the interview. It’s great to hear that sci-fi is making a bit of a come back. I love this genre yet the shelves seem quite empty when I’m looking for something new to read.
