1–What is the title of your latest release? HEAVENBREAKER 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A girl takes revenge on her noble family by riding a giant robot into a space jousting tournament in this sci-fi fantasy. Pacific Rim meets Game of Thrones. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Anything that’s giant benefits from less gravity – think whales or giant squid. Giant robots are more difficult to conceptualize and maneuver in any place with gravity, so I figured – why not zero g? 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? I think Synali is too obsessed with revenge to be that fun at parties, but I’d like to make her soup and wrap her in a blanket. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Driven, unrelenting, hopeful 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? Writing multiple POVs is much easier when you give them to the reader in microdoses rather than whole chapters! 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I edit as I draft to make sure the setup behind me is stable, if that makes sense. 8–What’s your…

Sassy, for sure. 4–What makes your hero irresistible? Lucien is kind, caring, and fiercely devoted to protecting those he loves! 5–Who are the people your main characters turn to when they need help? Zera really hates asking for help, but in this book she’s finally learned to accept it from Lucien and her friends. 6–What do you love about the setting of your book? Arathess is just such a cool fantasy world – floating witch-cities, subterranean cities made of gems, a library made out of a hollowed-out volcano! 7–Are you a plotter (follow an outline) or a pantster (write by the seat of your pants)? I’m absolutely a pantser! Plotting bores me and makes me feel like I’ve already written the book – a dangerous pitfall! 8–What is an ideal writing day for you? A quiet one, with lots of tea and pastries. 9–Do you listen to music while you write,…

Hey ya’ll! Sara Wolf here! I’m super psyched to write this for Fresh Fiction, mostly because they’re a. Awesome and b. It means FIND ME THEIR BONES is almost released to the world at large! Mostly, I wanted to talk about a super serious topic today. I think the question I get most – no matter where I go in the world – is ‘how do you write a book?’, followed quickly by ‘I could never write one’. It’s maybe the hardest question to answer, because I’m not entirely sure how I write a book, either. This might out me as a complete pantser (which isn’t bad!) but it also outs me as the sort of writer who doesn’t really think things through. I always tell people who ask this question ‘I write books because I have to’, and that’s true! When I was thirteen, I came to the horrible screeching revelation that magic wasn’t actually real.
