from today on, my life is parted between before reading Andrew Brawley and after. I love your writing so much. It's so dark. And so real. Have you dealt with a lost one around the time writing it? I lost my father two years ago and I still write about it in my books (which is why they are dark too and about death... people don't ever understand...)
Shaun David Hutchinson
I'm sorry to hear about your father. Sending you many hugs.
The majority of why I wrote Five Stages was my anxiety about losing people. My first book came about because my mom ended up in the hospital and I was afraid I'd lose her without being able to say goodbye, and I've carried that anxiety for a long time since.

As an adult who dabbles in reading YA, your stories have very universal feelings of loss in them. The sci-fi elements as a metaphor for what your characters are going through is so well done. I was wondering 1) Why you choose to use sci-fi as coping mechanisms for your characters and 2) What would you say to adults to convince them to read you?
