Paranormal YA and Star Wars author Claudia Gray is here, and her newest book, Defy the Worlds, is the second in her Constellations series, which is a space opera featuring a young soldier and the abandoned mech she finds, and how the bond they develop turns the tide in freeing her world.

Claudia also talks about how important outlining is to her writing process, and how her outlining has evolved as her writing career has progressed. She’s also looking forward to working on her first graphic novel, and exploring new ways to tell stories.

And don’t get her started on criticism of the movie Prometheus… you won’t win! Meanwhile, we’ll just wait for Defy the Fates to arrive, and you can read our review of Star Wars: Bloodline while you wait.
