![]() ![]() I needed a new main character.Īs I brainstormed, I began to put together pieces of Claire’s character. She didn’t fit in the high school setting at all. When it began to get gritty during revision, I knew it probably needed to become a YA. It’s probably hard to imagine, but the book started out as an MG mystery. (Also, though I fictionalized thelocation, WHERE THE “ODDS” ARE WITH YOU is actually the town motto.) It’s just such a great, great town name-I instantly filed it away, because I knew I’d use it at some point. Honestly, I’d known about Missouri having a town called Peculiar for quite some time. What came first, the PTSD, the feral cats, the murder, or the discovery of Peculiar? Oh, and don’t forget to take part in the raffle (below) for a free book giveaway!ġ. ![]() ![]() Read and Enjoy my interview with Holly Schindler, author of Feral which just came to shelves August 26. ![]()
