Lisa asked Ryan Gebhart:

"There Will be Bears" amazed me. Tyson was the most likable kid I have ever read about. Thank you so much for your insight. My only question- when is your next book coming out?

Ryan Gebhart Thank you, Lisa! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I recently sent my work-in-progress to my agent for his review, but I anticipate a few more rounds of revisions before (and if) we submit it to publishers. If we get a deal for it, I'll be sure to post all the pertinent info here and on twitter, and maybe soon I'll also build a website.

I won't give away too many details about it at this point, but it's a YA spec fic about a boy coming to terms with the realization that he's fallen in love with the wrong girl, while at the same time, humanity discovers we're not alone in the universe.

Viola T. asked Ryan Gebhart:

Thank you for your thoughtful response, but you are missing the point about sexism. You could have made that point with different language and still be funny without turning middle-aged women (already in the invisible zone) into a joke. Young readers won't be able to distinguish that it's just your character's flaw. It's a sly and subtle perpetuation of a harmful stereotype. Does he get called out on it in the end?

I am writing a book report on you and I was wondering, what year you were born, and when you started writing There Will Be Bears? Thanks!
