But when are you going to write something happy? Also, what's up with the love triangles?
note: this post has some specifics about my books. I tried to mark them as spoilers, but just be aware.
I was just reading Beth Revis's blog about writing dystopias and I think she does a great job of explaining why dystopian literature isn't always depressing and I thought I might piggy-back off of her discussion here.
This is a question I got asked at almost every tour stop: when are you going to write something happy -- your books are SO DEPRESSING! And here's my answer: my characters live ...

THAT is exactly why I LOVE your stories! I was caught quite off guard with tears very early on in The Forest of Hands and Teeth. I picked up your book on a whim last month at the store. I had NO IDEA what it was about but the title sounded interesting. I could not put it down! Needless to say I finished it as quickly as I could when I saw that the sequel was coming out. I am almost finished with The Dead Tossed Waves, in fact it's raining today, so I suppose that is what I will be doing. I love love love your books! Thanks for letting your characters live!

I agree with you! I love her stories. I have read the Forest of Hands and Teeth and the Dead Tossed Waves. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I couldn't put her books down till I finished it. I love them.
Agreed, too! I read & really liked "The Forest of Hands & Teeth" and see a movie could be made from that story. I look forward to reading the sequel, "Dead Tossed Waves". Thanks, Ms. Ryan!
