Please join me in welcoming GCC sister Jennifer Echols to the blog, celebrating the release of her new YA novel, ENDLESS SUMMER. ![]() ![]() ![]() Genderqueer is probably the best descriptor. Wang: To me, Sebastian is someone who identifies with different modes of gender expression and is comfortable alternating between both masculine and feminine. What does this say about his gender identity? Orsini: By the end of the story, Prince Sebastian seems to still be splitting his time between dresses and menswear. ![]() I still wish I had three books worth of time to flesh it out but I hope the end result is something that resonates with readers, especially parents. I didn’t have three books worth of time to develop the King’s feelings toward his kid so I had to think very carefully about how to present it in a way that felt in-character but also positive. I wanted the ending to be hopeful but still make sense to the characters. Wang: I rewrote the ending with Sebastian’s father several times. Orsini: What was the hardest scene to write, and why? ![]() I did a lot of research for context but kept the final product flexible. ![]() Frances makes clothes that feel fresh and new and I wanted them to defy the silhouettes and conventions of the time.

Luckily I made no such mistake this evening. First: because the house was empty, or supposed to be so, the family still being, as I had every reason to believe, in Europe and secondly: because, not being inquisitive, I often miss in my lonely and single life much that it would be both interesting and profitable for me to know. I am not an inquisitive woman, but when, in the middle of a certain warm night in September, I heard a carriage draw up at the adjoining house and stop, I could not resist the temptation of leaving my bed and taking a peep through the curtains of my window. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Absolute all star superman![]() ![]() ![]() Like his TV counterpart, this series sees Superman and Lois settling into a freshly minted world in the wake of a Crisis-level event (in this case, Convergence).
