Also, there were no fantasy books with characters who looked like me, being anything but slaves, never the heroes of their own story. LB: I’ve been in love with YA books since middle school, but I decided to write after I read the book Hawksong by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. GK: What made you want to write fiction for the young adult audience specifically? LB: I probably don’t sleep as much as I should, haha! And I used to write a lot on the company computer (on Google docs, so there was no evidence, haha!) It’s all about balance. That’s an impressive list of skills! How did you balance writing while doing your other work? ![]() GK: I read that you’re a violinist and physical therapist assistant in addition to being an author. Lauren Blackwood: Thank you! It still feels like a dream, honestly. ![]() Grace Kennedy: To start off, I want to thank you for interviewing with me and congratulate you on your debut novel! It’s no easy feat to get your work out there for the first time! How do you feel now that your book has been officially published?
