Everything published under my own name is a mystery novel of some sort, whether it’s one of the series books or one of the stand-alones. It doesn’t impact me because no one considers me a young adult writer, for one thing despite having written numerous books with younger and/or teenaged characters ( Sorceress, Sleeping Angel, Sara, Lake Thirteen, Dark Tide, Bury Me in Shadows, #shedeservedit), most people think of me as a gay mystery writer. The conversation has to do with concerns about what is and isn’t considered y/a fiction as well as what is, or should be, considered age-appropriate reading material for teenagers and pre-teens. There’s been a conversation going on over at Book Twitter lately that doesn’t really impact me in any way, but it’s been kind of interesting to follow. LSU is also playing on New Years’ Day in the Citrus Bowl against Purdue, which will probably be the only game I actually watch that day. By the weekend it should be back into the seventies (it was yesterday as I ran my errands after work it’s sixty-one this morning but it does feel colder outside of my bed and blankets), as the Alabama and Kansas State fans start arriving for the Sugar Bowl. Well, I met quota again last night which was marvelous.
