I write about them if that makes any sense.

Like THIS is what I wanted to write about, and I think the reason that writing about teens is so appealing is that I don’t feel like I write for teens. That was maybe around the early to mid 2000s when several friends of mine who wrote sci-fi/fantasy started to write YA and were among kind of the first wave of young adult writers-Scott Westerfeld and Justine Larbalestier in particular-and reading those books that came out around that time I had this “ah ha” moment. When I graduated from college, I wrote screenplays for a while and told stories that I wasn’t as excited about as I wanted to be. As early as I could remember, before I could even write, I remember telling my parents that I wanted to be a writer, because I loved books and stories and always have. It seems to be the one thing you keep coming back to in your stories: young people. I wanted to know what drives you to write about teens.

The book will hit stores on May 1st, but before that, Gwenda Bond discusses a few things with me such as her first encounter with Lois Lane, what this character means to women, and how she got this opportunity to tackle this story.Īrdo: First off, I wanted to talk about the fact that you’ve written books in the past like Blackwood, The Woken Gods, and Girl on a Wire. I got to chat with the author of the upcoming young adult novel Lois Lane: Fallout, based on one of DC Comics’ most iconic characters.
