Interview with Alexis Coe, Author of Alice + Freda Forever
I’d like to say that I got to sit down with Alexis in a lovely little diner somewhere, drinking coffee as we chatted about vicarious menstruation and murder, but alas, I only got to email her my bizarre questions, but the answers are fabulous, and I appreciate her being a good sport about my admitted…

scoundrels, swag, and sweeping exits.
This post contains a bit o’ profanity, so consider yourself warned. I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t know that much about Chicago, even though I’ve lived here since 2004 and I’ve lived in Illinois all my life. I was fully planning on doing some INTENSE RESEARCH regarding Barry’s questions, but time got…

the king abides.
During my cyberstalking researching of Barry for this interview, I learned that he is a fan of Stephen King, especially the Dark Tower series. I, too, am a fan of the Dark Tower series, although I do think King lost it a bit when he wrote and released the final books in quick succession following…

play-ing, with friends

wherein I answer 2 of Barry’s 5 questions.
Barry Lyga has written several books for children and young adults, including The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl, Hero-type, and Boy Toy. Barry is coming to Chicago soon, so I thought I’d welcome him warmly (and satisfy my own curiosity) by answering five questions he had about Chicago and asking him five questions about…

fangirl.
On March 13th, Barry Lyga is going to be in the Chicago area as part of LitWorks: A Teen READ Workshop. He’s one of eight ya authors that will spend the day speaking, presenting, and signing books. Since I am very much a fangirl when it comes to Barry’s work, I got up the nerve…
