I am not a fantasy reader, but I absolutely loved The Paper Magician series! I really loved so many things about the plot and characters (particularly because I am very much a hopeless romantic!). I have two questions for you: 1. Which kind of magician would you be? 2. Are you at all similar to Ceony or she purely imaginative? I would love to hear more of this story! Thank you for your hard work!

First, I love your profile picture.
Second, thank you SO much, and I'm thrilled I was able to hook a non-fantasy reader!
As for which magician I would be... I'm stuck between two. Sometimes I want to be a Folder because that's awesome. Other times I would love to be a Pyre because hello, I could throw fire. That would be boss. EVERYONE WOULD FEAR ME. ;)
As for Ceony, I've been told we have many similarities. ;) I think I have a habit of writing introverted protagonists, and with The Paper Magician I wanted to do the opposite. (In case you're wondering, yes, I'm extroverted.) So there are some unintentional similarities. She's a lot braver and far more reckless than I am, though!

I know I'm about 4 months(?) late on this, but I just saw on your recent blog about Disney acquiring the rights to adapt the Paper Magician series. I just wanted to tell you how much happiness and excitement this fills me with! The one thing in the world I love as much as reading is Disney, and I have nothing but the utmost faith that they will do right by your books!
