This is a good question! I'm not too active here, but I have a Radio Apocalypse sequel planned. When I am able to write it is somewhat up in the air, as I have a few other projects I've been working on that I'd like to get out of the way, as well as my personal life being busy, but I do intend to at least get the draft started sometime late this year/early next. If the sequel does come to fruition, it would be more from Lauren's perspective and explore some less-explained parts of the lore. I want this to be something I'm proud of, so it may take a while, and I can make no promises as to whether the sequel will be published, but TL;DR -- yes! I have a sequel planned.

Being able to hold your book in your hands, being able to talk about your stories and characters and having people listen, or meeting people who like your writing.

I'm working on a stand-alone novel with a first draft of 307 pages, along with the second novella in my series.

I'll read a really good book and think, "I want to be *that* good."

I was trying to come up with a utopian world, actually. I thought, everyone’s always jealous of each other. What if they all had the same amount of the same things? That way everyone would be treated equally.
Obviously, that’s communism, and it hasn’t worked in practice, so I changed the world from a utopia to a dystopia and wrote, like, two paragraphs. I later changed it up, but that was the seed idea for Defy.
