Lillian Clark:
Your book is an ensemble cast, so is it written with several pov's? If so, how difficult was it to nail so many voices, and if not, how difficult was it to explore each character but not show specifically their pov?

Hi Lisa! Thank you for the question :).
IMMORAL CODE has five main characters (Nari, Bellamy, Keagan, Reese, and Santiago) and alternates between each of their POVs. Writing it was definitely complex! I did a lot of outlining to keep the plot straight as it's told through five different voices. But getting inside each character's head was one of my favorite parts. After I wrote and polished the first draft, I went back and reworked each character's sections separately, focusing on voice and each MC's personal arc, as well as how they contribute to the book as a whole. In the end, the book is as much about these friends and their relationships as it is about the heist itself.

Lillian, I just finished reading the ARC of Immoral Code, and I was blown away by your knowledge of how high-level hacking works. Your character Nari is involved in "Minor espionage and extralegal social justice on the Darknet." How do you know so much about coding -- or how did you research this aspect of the book?
