This is why I tip my cap to people who can write good YA...because, as adults, we all tend to view the world through our adult perspectives.

I am never going to put sex into my children's books, because it's not a children's activity. Sigh… yeah. I have four kids, and I worry about them growing up way too fast and hard in this world.

A child-like romance, such as we saw in "My Girl" or "Harry Potter" is one thing. If you write kids having sex, though...you'll lose us both. :)SABR Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879056167130238382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512901970142754617.post-20823654232204264972013-11-01T14:14:49.312-07:002013-11-01T14:14:49.312-07:00Yes, Steph, that is precisely right, I'm pleas...Yes, Steph, that is precisely right, I'm pleased you caught it. I started out to write a mythology story for my daughter, and found I just couldn't do it - I needed to make them more plausible, so they have come through a rift in parallel universes with tech far advanced of ours. And most definitely that shows in the sequel, which I am working on, and tentatively plan to release in April 2014. I think this will likely be a trilogy, the second book, The God's Wolfling, introduces a young and slightly cranky male protagonist. But still no romance, although, sorry Steph, I may have to bring that into the story by book three!
