When and how did you come up with the idea of Nyxia? ( Your book was flippin' awesome)
Scott Reintgen
Thanks so much, Lauren. This book started with the idea of teens from all around the world putting on a black mask, taking fifty steps outside their houses, and appearing in a school in space. That idea... didn't make sense! But the masks stuck, so did the global competition. I sat down and wrote the first scene that's currently in the book (the one scene that never changed in any editorial process). At the time, I was teaching, too. So Emmett was written for my students who wanted to read a really entertaining book AND see characters that looked and talked like them going into space. Thanks for the question!

I absolutely loved the Nyxia Triad and I wish I could reread them for the first time again! You wrote the books so wonderfully and I was wondering have you ever thought about turning them maybe into a movie series or even a TV show? I do know that making books into something for the screen is very hard but I think these books would look absolutely amazing on the big screen!!

Hey Mr Reintgen, My question is, I often get discouraged reading the work of other authors (such as yourself) because I realize that my own will likely never be as good. Did you ever feel this way while writing? And, if so, how did you overcome it? Also, had you written/published anything else prior to Nyxia? Thank you so much for taking the time to acknowledge your readers. It really means so much. God bless!
