Oh my goodness! My daughter is going to love a graphic novel! Your book SGE was her first chapter book. Hope you write forever, not sure how she is going to transition to another author lol!

I'm honored to have her as a reader! I'll be writing forever, I suspect. Even if no one reads me anymore! :)

Yay, I love the gothic concept of Coven and the murder mystery. And I had a strong feeling about it being the subject of your graphic novel too. Intuition strikes again! ;)

Wow -- it's been an busy couple of weeks! I didn't realize Charli was saying 'the airport' not 'the apple'. Colbert did the Apple dance last night which made my week. I am so excited for New Novel and I have a zillion questions (like...does it have a picture of a map at the start?) But Coven? Where every page is basically it's own map? Thrilling!

I think the airport sounding like apple is one of the geniuses of it! There's no map at the beginning of Coven, but all kinds of other insane things. It's a big, wild ride that I think you'll enjoy. Very different than a traditional novel, but one with its own rewards.

I’m obsessed with the SGE series, and am so excited for Coven!

I was so happy to meet you at Yallwest (my name is Uma) but I regret being too shy to ask any of my questions…

As an aspiring writer and artist myself, I’ve found myself amazed at the depth and relatability of your characters and story, especially how the story seamlessly transitions between books. :)

How do you fully develop your characters and their unique personalities overtime?

P.S. I’m a proud Ever with a soul score of 100% Good ( surprised, I retook the test many times to be sure ), although I do have high respect for Evil and find myself acting more like Agatha than any other Ever. :)

Thank you for your amazing writing!!

It's so exciting to hear about a new project of yours in a new medium. I honestly didn't expect it, but the concept clicks right away. The cover design process sounds equally enthralling, even with the nerves of entrusting a team. I can't wait to experience my first times doing those. You've excited me, although I anticipate it will have its own challenges.
