Your characters we're so deep and believable and I wanted to be best friends with both Ember and Chase. I'm writing my own dystopian and I was just wondering how you form these characters that may look 2 dementinal but once you read into them have so much secret depth?

Hi Alice!
Thank you for the kind words, and congratulations on your own story! Dystopia forever! Okay, so I think the key is vulnerability. Every character has to have strengths AND weaknesses. Once you discover both of those sides, you can build a deep, real character.

I just want to start of with the fact that I loved the Article 5 series. It was an amazing concept and I really connected with the characters. I have read Chase' point of view and I loved it. So my question is do you think you will write more from his perspective?
