Lauren asked Scott Reintgen:

When and how did you come up with the idea of Nyxia? ( Your book was flippin' awesome)

Scott Reintgen Thanks so much, Lauren. This book started with the idea of teens from all around the world putting on a black mask, taking fifty steps outside their houses, and appearing in a school in space. That idea... didn't make sense! But the masks stuck, so did the global competition. I sat down and wrote the first scene that's currently in the book (the one scene that never changed in any editorial process). At the time, I was teaching, too. So Emmett was written for my students who wanted to read a really entertaining book AND see characters that looked and talked like them going into space. Thanks for the question!

I am currently on the last book in the Nyxia Triad and I have wonders if the books have any connection to your life. Do they?

Do you ever plan on having a Nyxia graphic novel? I would personally love it just so I have more knowledge of what this ship and such looks like

Opal asked Scott Reintgen:

Hello! I was wondering if you were going to write a real book about the book that Indira made it into. 'Indira and the Thunder Brothers' I think it was called? If you do, I'll be waiting for it! I LOVE the Saving Fable book and am soooo excited for the next Tailspinners book! Thank you!
