![]() ![]() KS: The book opens with Brynn running a ticket scam (reprinting tickets and then selling the duplicates at a “special price”), and she plays a pretty funny conning game involving licorice, but I think one of my favorite non-spoilery moments is when she has to run a long con: convince her assigned mark, a senator’s son, to share his deepest secrets. ![]() PS: What was your favorite (non-spoilery) con to write about in the book? Brynn’s story is more raw and immediate in some ways because of that. In my current book, that veil is stripped away. Sci-fi was the lens I used to make sense of issues like misogyny and violence against women in THE GLASS ARROW. That said, both THE GLASS ARROW and THE DECEIVERS provided ways for me to process things I see going on in the real world. The problems Brynn deals with-from her high school not offering the kinds of classes she needs to get into the college she wants, to domestic violence, to drugs, gangs, and political corruption-will feel familiar to readers. THE DECEIVERS is set now, in a world much like our own. KS: The biggest difference was the contemporary setting. ![]()
