I read your book for my YA Lit class for my Library Masters. I have to say, it has been the best book I have read this year! I can't wait to read more and to really dive in. Do you have any suggestions on where I should start!?

Hi Jarrod--what a delight to know that you read this for your library masters, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'd be happy to give you recommendations, but I'm unsure if you mean for my work or for similar YA.
My other YA novel, The Winter Place, is very different than this. That's much more of a fantasy book, and doing a long extended riff on a few authors/classics that I adore.
Feel free to reach out on social media with any questions. And again, so glad you enjoyed this!

"Rule-of-cool" is my second-favorite trope, right behind "beware the superman." I AM SO EXCITED I WILL MAKE MY FRIENDS BUY YOUR BOOK SO I GET THE SEQUEL! Last question - I'm trying to figure out the geography (and I blush to mention I failed geography in college. Twice.). Is Goldsport based on an actual place, or is it made up like Stephen King's Castle Rock?

Just finished listening to "How We Became Wicked." That was a horrible, horrible way to end the story. I will give you good money to hurry up and write the sequel. I'm going to thank you for your hard work now, because this "ask the author" thing requires you end with a question mark. My question - do the Vexed chicks eyes glow because of rule-of-cool, or is there something, possibly supernatural, that causes it?
