Expanding ...Agree with Hart's question on age. Expanding on that, is there a supernatural creature you feel is too young? A lot of attention goes to the big three (vamps, weres and zombies) but some new attention is hitting centaurs, faeries (old school, not Tinkerbell), pixies, etc. Are any of those too childish for YA interests? And do you like to see parents and their interactions with kids or have them looming off to the side while the adventure/growth takes place?Heather Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978965489626420425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-12496975092585346002011-11-28T19:56:13.335-05:002011-11-28T19:56:13.335-05:00Best of luck in the contest!

What I want to know (in a very real way, as I have the issue looming for a book I wrote) is:<br /><br />Common wisdom is teens like characters a year to several years older than they are. Are you ever interested in MCs younger than you? And what does it take to secure this interest?Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-4806112068920749972011-11-28T14:16:12.536-05:002011-11-28T14:16:12.536-05:00My question for the young adults - at what age do ...My question for the young adults - at what age do you feel you outgrow books marketed as young adult?<br /><br />(and will go vote now)KellyHitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260599935926252878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-47138726818730824052011-11-28T13:50:58.965-05:002011-11-28T13:50:58.965-05:00I'm sorry, I'm not a Facebook member!
