Top Retellings of Classic Tales

zoggian asked David Wong:

I just finished "Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits", and I was wondering if at some point in the outline/draft process, Andre and Molech were supposed to be related in some way? I had that idea stuck in my head because both of them use the word "daddy" to describe fathers (Andre for Zoey's, Molech for his). Was their use of "daddy" an intentional red herring or just coincidence? The book was great, by the way.

With the upcoming 10th anniversary JDatE book having new content, is it easy for you to revisit characters in the context of an older story? Or do you find it easier to write their character development into a new plot? And do you have any future plans to revisit your other novels with extra stuff when the time comes?

A writer's past work has influence on their present and future work, whether through style or content or both. How do you feel your work writing non-fiction has affected your work writing fiction, and vice versa?

Dani asked David Wong:

I was rereading JDATE recently and I realized you almost perfectly articulated the shame that comes from beinging in a special ed student (that's even what they called it in elementary). Was it just a lucky guess or did you know/be in special ed class?
