I was thrilled to interview two exciting debut YA authors whose books I love: Naomi Gibson and Brianna Bourne. We met in May 2021 to talk about their new novels, their journey to publication, and what comes next for both authors.

I hope you enjoy our chat!

Brianna Bourne's You & Me at the End of the World is a gripping empty-world love story. Hannah and Leo find themselves in a totally empty Houston - if they can't figure out what's going on, they might be torn apart forever. See: https://briannabournebooks.com/ for more info. And in an update to this video, it is now published in the UK!

Naomi Gibson's Every Line of You is a powerful high-concept crossover novel. Lydia has been creating her AI, Henry, for years. He's the perfect boyfriend made of lines of code. But what is Henry really, and how far will he go to be everything Lydia desires? See: https://www.naomigibsonwrites.com/ for more info.
