Join me for some awesome upcoming author Q&A sessions! My favorite group, David Estes Fan Group and YA Book Lovers Unite, is hosting some amazing events in the next few months!
Jennifer A. Neilsen's event has already started and runs through Nov. 10th. She has already answered some questions, and we've learned more about a movie deal and her next series, which sounds awesome!
Here's the question I asked and her answer!
Hi, Jennifer, I'm so excited that you came to our group! I loved reading both the False Prince and The Runaway King so much! I really loved Sage as a character! What do you like best about Sage, and what was your favorite part about writing him?
Thanks for reading, Jenny! I have loved writing Sage. What's most interesting to me about him is that Sage is a study in opposites. Whatever trait he has on one end of the scale, he usually has its opposite too. So he's very tough, but also really vulnerable. He's brilliant, but can be stupid about some things too (girls). He is compassionate, yet he does not suffer fools. And so on. So that dichotomy makes him really interesting to write.
My favorite part about writing him is that he can be very unpredictable, even to me. Before writing, I might put something together in an outline, thinking it seemed like a good idea, but once I get into it, Sage will push in another direction. I love finding out what he's going to do next, since it's not always what I expect!
