Alden Ehrenreich is a drama nerd, and Alice Englert is indie girl. They're so cool in the way that our characters are cool.

I always say, 'I'm cracked. My characters are cracked. And you, reader, you're cracked, too.'

Sometimes people who sell books are seen as corporate salesmen, and people who sell reading are seen as literacy advocates, but you can't really separate the two.

Writing is the easy part. The 'getting it right' part is harder.

I worked as a writer, lead designer, and creative director in the game industry.

The privilege, and the challenges, of taking on Black Widow have never been lost on me. I worked on the first 'Spiderman' game as well as 'Fantastic Four,' and I had always wanted to be able to tell more of a character-driven comic book story than was possible to fit into a game narrative.

I grew up sitting in my closet waiting to go Narnia.

It's a fallacy that people think that today's teenagers are shallow or somehow less intelligent than in the past.

I was an obsessive fantasy reader from the time I could read at all.

We kept my middle schooler home from school for three days before we turned in our final draft because she was so mean and so brutal at editing out all the cheesy bits. She would roll her eyes and make fun of us, and it was what we needed.

My solo novel 'Icons' was optioned by Alcon Entertainment, the folks who made the 'Beautiful Creatures' movie, and that's gotten as far as a script, but no news yet.

We love what we love, and shared fandoms bring people of all ages and backgrounds into one great tribe.

I'm up at dawn. I practically fall asleep at dinner.

I fictionship. I love fictional men.

When you're writing about superpowers, you're writing about power. When you're writing about immortals, you're writing about mortality.

Harper Lee was my David Bowie, and I feel her loss in my bones.

Sam and Dean Winchester sitting on the top of the Impala sharing their feelings over a beer is a reward worth driving any 'Supernatural' demon away - but in real life, they'd have crippling co-dependency issues.

I like to make an outline or cards and then utterly ignore them.

Anyone who says that writing for children or teens is easier than writing for adults has never tried it, because they are so much more critical than adults. You cannot get anything past them.

There's a lot of loneliness in a book tour. A lot of grilled cheese sandwiches alone in your hotel at night.
