A Goodreads user asked J.N. Chaney:

I wonder why you chose to "censor" profanity in the Ruins series. I'm listening to book 2, having finished book 1. Every time I hear "spick" I cringe. Were you aiming for the juvenile audience? Surely not. Anyway, although it's a distraction, I love the series and will continue to the end. BTW, your other series with Christopher, Resonant Son, is an absolute blast! I look forward to the next book!

J.N. Chaney Hey there, B. Ruins is cowritten with a former Pastor (Christopher Hopper) and he requested that we refrain from profanity. To respect his wishes, we avoided it. If you want something a bit more vulgar, try Wayward Galaxy or Renegade Star. I go all out in those!
