I have a few questions -- What inspired you to write 'Willful Machines'? Will there be a sequel? How did you come up with this futuristic machine-based world? (I love your book by the way. It's my all-time favorite.)

Hey, Angie! I'm so happy you enjoyed WM! I've actually been intrigued by artificial intelligence for a long time, and I wanted to write something different from the standard Terminator-type scenario in which the A.I. is evil and wants to destroy humans and take over the world. So this is what I came up with! As for a sequel, I do hope to write more about Lee and Nico at some point, although it may be a while before that happens, because I have a few other writing projects to finish first--including my second book, TATTOO ATLAS, which comes out this October. I hope you'll check it out! Thanks so much for your question, and happy reading!

Hello! So I just finished reading your book, Willful Machines, and I absolutely loved it! The ending left me with many questions, but really only one big one: Are you planning on writing a sequel? I just love the characters, and don't think that their story should end where it did. I mean, what's going to happen with Nico and Lee's relationship?! As a major Fangirl, I'm just dying to find out!

Hi Tim, I'm a high schooler growing up transmale/gay and I love your books because of how dark and yet totally awesome they are. My question is probably one you get a lot, but I was just wondering when your next book is coming out? Are you going to write more on Lee and Nico? How do you come up with your ideas? And last: do you have any advice on writing?

Hey, Tim (: I grew up small-town with ultra conservative morals, so writing LGBT+ novels was always a big no-no. At 18, I came out as transmale and I realized how much I missed writing. My question is: I'm a 1st yr education major but I want to drop out to finish my lgbt+ sci-fi novel. What do you think my best course of action could be?
