Ashley doesn't really have a made up language. She just makes up words, which I thought was a fun character trait. (She wouldn't be the first person in history to do this. Shakespeare coined over 1700 words.) A reader of my books sent me an email with the word swawesome in it and I thought it was, well, swawesome. Ashley seemed to be the sort of person who'd say something like that. And it's caught on a bit since I published the book. (Or at least, more readers are using that word when they write to me.)

Stuart Gibbs:
What is one thing that has been on your bucket list for a while now- something that you have always wanted to do just never had the opportunity? (Also, complete side note, I love to ski. Do you ski or snowboard, if you do either? For some reason I feel like you ski, but I might be completely wrong.)
