Omigosh, I just finished Witch of Blackbird Pond for a school assignment. It was FANTASTIC. The vibes and character development and just everything about it. So, very serious question, who is your favorite character in that book? (I'm planning on trying out your books soon <3 So sorry this isn't about your own work.)

Teresa Yea Love Witch of Blackbird Pond! Nat Eaton is my favorite character, but seriously, every character is so three-dimensional and memorable. Hannah Tupper, Prudence, and Mercy feel like old friends.

Hi! Do you have a sequel for Love in a Time of Monsters and Black Heart, Red Ruby?

Teresa Yea Hi Cookie,
There will be a sequel for Love in a Time of Monsters. It's currently still in-progress and I'm working on it along with another project. Slowly but surely it will be done. All I can say right now is that this sequel is packed full of surprises and it's kind of killing me.

As for the Black Heart, Red Ruby sequel... I had plans for one more book, but as of right now, it doesn't look likely that this series will continue. But never say never.

Hi Teresa... This a question I'm asking of several writers, some friends, some strangers... Can you think of a risk you should be taking but are avoiding right now? In your writing life or otherwise? If so, what would you guess is holding you back? Why are you avoiding this risk? What's at stake? Thanks.

Teresa Yea Putting more effort in marketing.
What's holding me back? I feel totally shy and kind of like a scumbag talking about myself and my books. Classic introverted writer syndrome.
So currently, my approach is "Hi, I wrote some books…um…you should read them." *Runs and hides.* If there's a pillow around, chances are I'll bury my face in it. I feel more comfortable pimping someone else's book. These are nerd girl problems I just have to overcome!

I could also be tossing more money on advertising and blog tours and all the cool things that may or may not make for successful sales. But the thing is, I really NEED to go to an anime convention where there might be a Black Butler voice actor panel and my priorities are a little questionable right now… Again, nerd girl problems.
