Emma Andrews asked Lexa Hillyer:

I loved Spindle Fire! What made you decide to go from writing poetry to fairy tale retellings?

Lexa Hillyer Oh, thank you! I still love writing poetry but I have fallen in love with fiction writing lately. Actually my newest book (which isn't out yet) is a novel with poetry IN it. As for fairy tale retellings - I think they offer so much fun space to take something familiar and make it your own, which is sort of how I see poetry too-- you take the every day world and make it different, more lush and surprising.
