How did you get to be one of the Rick Riordan Presents books, much less the first? Was it difficult? Did you have competitors? Also, what was working with Rick Riordan like and what was his advice and input? Thanks!

To be totally honest, I have no idea. The stars must have aligned! I heard about the Rick Riordan Presents imprint in September 2016. When I found out, I was *so* excited that I might finally have a place for Aru's story! I legit ran home and emailed my agent, and then wrote three sample chapters (and a synopsis) that my agent helped edit. After that, we sent it to RRP. I didn't think anything would happen, honestly...but then 2 weeks later, it sold O_O. It was so strange since my first submission experience, it took 6 months. After that, I wrote the entire book. Rick gave some excellent (and hilarious!) feedback. He's very thoughtful in his editorial comments, but I 1000% panicked because he left so many comments lol. I'm very grateful to the RRP family :) I'm so excited for the stories down the road. The next one is J.C. Cervantes THE STORM RUNNER.
