HI Liesl! I am right in the middle of Red and I want to ask you the main theme of the story?
Liesl Shurtliff
Hi Charishma,
Truth be told, I don't think too much about "theme" when I'm writing a story. I'm just thinking about my characters, their wants and needs, and their journey. Theme is something that naturally emerges from a story well told. That's all to say, I prefer not to say what the theme is and leave it up to the reader to discover whatever themes emerge for them as the reader. So can I flip the question on you? What do you think the main theme is? There really isn't a wrong answer.

Hello Liesl! I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Red, and WOW was I blown away! I liked Rump; we read it with our girls reading group who also really enjoyed it. Only, Red was just so amazing. She jumped straight off of the pages into my heart! Who are you planning to write about next? And, I selfishly demand to know, will you be featuring Red in any more books in the future? Thank you so much!
