I love your contemporary stories and was just wondering to myself "What ever happened to K.Z. Snow?" So I'm excited that you have some new books coming out. My question is: I see that your upcoming books are more YA-ish (or at least are about characters under 18). What made you want to write about such young MCs?

K.Z. Snow Hi, Erika, and thank you (for reading my stories *and* for your question)! Actually, Resurrection Man isn't, strictly speaking, a YA novel. The MC is three months shy of his 21st birthday when the story opens (but yeah, that's still young). Beyond that, I guess my answer has three parts. First, I've always loved exploring a variety of themes and characters. Second, I haven't written a YA/Coming of Age story since The Zero Knot, so the time felt right to revisit that subgenre. Third, and probably most important, I'm appalled by what many kids, GLBTQ in particular, have to endure on the road to adulthood, and what kind of impact those experiences can have on their lives. Since young people can be a lot more psycho-emotionally complex than we give them credit for, there are plenty of YA stories left to be told. I hope that answered your question. :-)
