So I haven't even finished Ninja Girl yet (literally on the first page) and besides her Korean-sounding name, I flip out w/ excitement seeing the word Omma, & then her friend's name Min-Hee. I literally LOVE all things Korean (Korean music, food, culture, etc.) & I even visited Korea (South Korea, for those who don't know the difference) earlier this summer. What compelled you to include Korean in the book?

Hi Sofia! This is such an awesome question; thank you for asking :). I love Korean culture as well--especially Korean dramas, dancing and music! Seriously, I could (and have) binge watched an entire K-drama series in a couple of days lol. And man, that is so cool that you've actually been to South Korea!! I bet it was awesome. Snow was always Korean American in my head, from when I first had the idea for NINJA GIRL, and so I guess a lot of the Korean culture was included because of her, her family/friends, and her interests. Thank you so much again for your question, and I hope you enjoy NINJA GIRL!!!

I thoroughly loved everything about "Adorkable" (Sally is a girl after my own heart) and I know it's going to be a favorite re-read of mine! I was ecstatic to hear that Ash is getting his own book!! Do you have an idea of when we can expect it to be published? Hooker absolutely cracked me up and I would love to see more of her- any future plans for her? Thank you!! :)
