When exactly will "Denton Little's Birthdate" come out? I just can't wait to find out what happens!
Lance Rubin Maya! I am so delighted that you can't wait to find out what happens. Thank you. The sequel was supposed to come out in April 2016, but even though it's done (and I think you'll like it!), there have been some delays.

So stay tuned for the exact date. Should be sometime in 2016 for sure. (And in the meantime, feel free to tweet at Random House Children's saying you can't wait for it to come out...)

I loved the Teen Wolf references in your book (and the book in general). Are you a big fan of the show? And will there be more references in the sequel?
Lance Rubin AJ! So glad you loved the book and the Teen Wolf references. I'm about to sound like an old person, but here's the truth: Though I've seen and thoroughly enjoyed a few episodes of Teen Wolf, I'm much more familiar with the original movie version from the 80's starring Michael J. Fox. I was fairly obsessed with it when I was younger. It doesn't fully hold up today, but if you want to see the cheesy and wonderful inspiration for the current show, you should check it out.

Meanwhile, Teen Wolf the TV show is on my to-binge-watch-very-soon list. I will report back to you with thoughts once I've seen a full season.

And as for the DENTON sequel, barring some unexpected rewrites, there are currently no Teen Wolf references. I hope you will still consider reading it, though, as I promise there will be other fun pop-cultural references to enjoy.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Lance Rubin Get in the habit of writing even when you're not feeling inspired. And as much as is possible, operate as if you’re already published. By this I mean: refer to yourself as a writer, think of yourself as a writer, and carve out as disciplined a schedule as you can, as if writing is your job. You don’t need to wait for permission from publishing houses to do this; you can do it right now. And you should. If you don’t take yourself seriously, then the universe won’t be able to either.
