Goodreads Summary
1. Your world-building is phenomenal, how did you create the world in Fuse?
In PURE, book I in THE PURE TRILOGY, I did a lot of the world-building -- ash, fusings, Beasts, Dusts, the distant Dome -- so in FUSE, book II, I had the opportunity to stretch the canvas, geographically and visually. I also had time to delve back into the psychologically twisted world of the Dome -- a true delight.
2. Is there any character(s) that you feel more attached to then any other, why?
Of course I love my main characters, but there are those smaller characters, like Iralene and Arvin Weed, who show up in FUSE and take hold. Both are so untrustworthy and yet also vulnerable, I can't help but love writing about them. Their motivations are always hidden and unexpected.
3. Can you give us a sneak peak of what to expect in Fuse?
In addition to the above, I'll say that both love stories get more complex and messier. I've enjoyed mining these characters -- heart-wise -- and their stories certainly reveal a larger look at the question of what endures the apocalypse.
4. Are you currently working on any other books?
BURN, book III in THE PURE TRILOGY, comes out one year from this month. So I am still immersed (drowning?) in this world ...

I know it's only the 2nd book in the series, but I'm so mad that these characters have had to deal with the scariest and most dangerous tasks of their lives and it's all because of something that could totally happen in real life. I want a happy ending for Pressia and Bradwell and Partridge and Lyda!! Is that so much to ask?
