How long was it ruminating?
Oh, several years.
What more do you get to explore with an experienced character?
I write a book when I see something missing from the shelf.
I dont see boys like Cole anywhere in literature.
What kind of research if any did you do for the book?
Are you worried about your young readers, Lemony Snicket fans, picking it up?
Or do you hide your true identity from them pretty well?
This anxiety is precisely what led to the novel.
Whats the most difficult thing about writing all the dirty parts the bookandthe actual dirty parts?
Balancing a feminist consciousness with a desire to write honestly about sexuality in young men.
