Emily Smith

Emily Smith asked Sally Green:

do you have prototype for Gabriel?

Sally Green Thanks for the question but I'm not really sure what you mean. A prototype? A forerunner?

No. Gabriel arrived in my story almost fully formed. I knew I wanted a gay character who was the typical male (heterosexual) hero in every way except that instead of being attracted to women he's attracted to men (and unfortunately for Gabriel he falls in love with Nathan). Women and men adore Gabriel because he's gorgeous.

I was inspired by Aiden Turner playing Mitchell in Being Human. That HAIR!!!! And also the smile and the way he can turn from looking sweet to looking evil.

Hope that answers the question.

Thanks

Sally

Would Gabriel be stuck forever as a fain? Can you tell us something about it? At least will it be mentioned in the next book?

Justine

Justine asked Sally Green:

When you started Half Bad, did you think at that time that it would be a trilogy? I always wonder how much of writing in trilogies is a product of publishers and marketing departments these days. It isn't that I mind having more books to read (not at all). Or is the trilogy something that you, as a writer, had in mind as you were writing. If that is the case, why?

Hailei Cotton

Hailei Cotton asked Sally Green:

Hello, I my name is Hailei. My father read your book HALF BAD and suggested it for me. After the first page, I became addicted. It was amazing. You inspired me to write a book of my own. Even though I am only 12 years old I would LOVE to get it published. Do you think it's possible for me to do that? If it is what do I do?
