Bianca asked Joey W. Hill:

It's inevitable that if you love a series there's always a couple that as soon as they're on page all you think is "I'm so here for this". For some folks it might be Mac and Violet or Marcus and Thomas. My favorite "couple" is Marcus and Tyler! Whether they're on the page together or one is mentioned to the other, I just go bonkers for those moments! Did you plan for their funny dynamic to turn into what it is?

Joey W. Hill Bianca, thank you for your question and reaction to Marcus and Tyler's unusual "friendship." (Snort - like either of them would call it that!) No, there was no plan for that. While side characters might have a planned role (meaning their specific reason for being there gradually makes itself known as the storyline unfolds), there's a much more organic evolution in them figuring out their fit as part of the group/community of characters, and in their relationships to each of them. So I get to be the delighted first front row audience as they work that out. I'm so glad you've enjoyed that process with Tyler and Marcus. Let me know if you have any further questions about them, or anything else!
