Hello! Our High School Chapters' Book Club will be reading your book for our October 30. Any tidbit you would like to share with our readers ... for instance... did you get scared while writing this book? I honestly scoffed at the idea of a horror book featuring butterflies, but my scoffs soon turned into fearful gasps! Well done!

In answer to your question, it's hard to get scared at your own writing, but I did seriously creep myself out a few times when researching. If your group members want to feel that creep factor themselves, have them look up Ophiocordyceps unilateralis or Apocephalus borealis fly.

For your club: I don't consciously think about metaphors when writing ("What do you think the author meant here" is a question I heard all high school and college!) but we're influenced by the times we're in--and Swarm was written during Covid. At first, I was more interested in the effects of isolation than the disease...but then I thought: sure, butterflies with teeth are scary, but what's scarier than humans? INFECTED, VIOLENT HUMANS!

I'd love to hear what you all think of Swarm when you're done, if you want to shoot me a message!(less)

“The thing emerges from my bedroom. It has a spare leg, kind of exoskeletal, like the butterfly’s, but ringed in scales, like a bird’s.”
