1–What is the title of your latest release? THE DARK WE KNOW 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? THE DARK WE KNOW is a queer YA horror about an art student who reluctantly returns to the haunted small town she ran away from, where she reunites with her estranged childhood friend to stop a supernatural evil that killed their friends two years earlier. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? The setting, an old mining town buried in the mountains called Slater, sort of developed over time. I knew from the start it was going to be a secluded small town surrounded by forest, but in the first draft it was a generic mining town. Then at the encouragement of my agent and editor, it got progressively stranger and more isolated. I think as a writer I’ve also become more and more drawn to weird fantasy/horror, so if I wrote it again I’d probably push it even further. It’s vaguely American, but I didn’t want it to be anywhere you could exactly pinpoint. I wanted it to be a little folkloric and surreal, while also being grounded in real characters. 4–Would you hang…
