Heather

Heather asked Jonathan Dunne:

Any advice for a fellow writer? I'm working on a YA/Fantasy/Dystopian novel and a realistic YA/literary novel (though the publisher may not consider it YA due the mature themes).

Jonathan Dunne Don't get hung up on categories, Heather. If I was bothered about categories and what the mainstream think, well, I'd never write another book. I was once told by a publisher that they like my writing but they weren't sure on what bookshelf I belong. I'll sit on any bookshelf if it's strong enough to hold me :)

Where did you get your insight on alzheimer's? I wish "Hide the Elephant" had been written when I was dealing with my mother's alzheimer's.
