** Q&A with the Author
What can you tell us about the book? **
Imagine * The Princess Bride * in a * Star Wars * setting. I've always liked the idea of a sci-fi fairy tale, and I wanted to tell a coming of age story about how duty to country and family can get in the way of what someone had in mind for their own future. So writing a teen and young adult science fiction novel seemed the best way to tell that story.
If this were a movie, what would it be rated?
PG-13 for sci-fi action, wartime violence and alcohol references.
