I love the wise, ironic voice of the main character in The Bone Treaty. What characters do you particularly love in literature, young adult and otherwise?
T.C. McKee Hi Maureen. I love that you love my Addie. She was so much fun to write and I'm still with her. It's so hard to narrow down my loves in YA or otherwise. There are so many wonderful, realistic, passionate, characters that come to mind. But. But. To name a few. I love Blue Sargent from The Raven Boys. Elisa from The Girl of Fire and Thorns. Avery Morgansten, from Wait for You. Gabi from The River of Time Series. Evie from Paranormalcy. Even, Lizzy from Pride and Prejudice. A little strength mixed with some humor makes the world go round. It just does in my opinion. I'm glad you asked.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
T.C. McKee I step away and read, watch a movie, take a week away and just be. Generally there is a reason for writer's block, a developmental picture that hasn't truly come together yet, and I'm not even aware of it. After stepping aside I usually have an Aha! moment in Target that has me abandoning my buggy for home, and my computer in a flash. My crazy picks the strangest times to appear.
