So none of the characters are conveniently the daughter of the police chief or something.

They dont need that.

Teens can figure out anything including murder.

What more can you tell us about the books plot?

Thats where the book starts.

Have you always been a horror/mystery fan?

What are some of your favorite chill-inducing books?

As a kid, I likedThe Baby-sitters Club, but I LOVEDThe Baby-sitters Club Mysteries.

The best mystery ever written is Donna TarttsThe Secret History.

The scariest book ever written is probablyWorld War Zby Max Brooks.

Your previous book,Honor Girl,was a graphic memoir.

Whats it like not writing about yourself for a change?

AfterHonor Girl, I needed a break from my own head.

So writing some sweet, sweet fiction was a welcome break from that.

What are you most excited for readers to see?

The tensions of the South, teen characters in control, murder most foul.

Im excited for non-Honor Girlreaders to get into this too, plus BOYS.

IfWe Know It Was Youwere a graphic novel, it would be 2,000 pages long.

Plus, for me, comics are about dealing with personal emotions.

This book isnt about me, its about the characters and the story.

What are you reading now?

I read a lot of true crime.

Im also reading all theL.A.

TimesBook PrizeGraphic Novel finalists; its a really interesting and diverse selection this year.
