MADE OF STARS is about two teenage space criminals who are doing a bunch of heists to try to save their home planet, the enemy pilot hunting them down, and all the crimes they commit along the way ✨#YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/Qu8G3woixN

MADE OF STARS is usually pitched as “Bonnie and Clyde in space.” We have action, we have romance, we have people kissing in stolen spaceships. All of my favorite things! #YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/ZD5wU1FtZE

MADE OF STARS was inspired by the real life story of Bonnie and Clyde. I did a lot of research during the drafting process—from reading biographies to digging through old newspaper articles in the Dallas city archives. #YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/U8NjTaH11y

Live footage of me halfway through annotating a biography while trying to care for our new foster cat. Peace, love, multitasking ✌🏼#YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/IP3RYkaZ6G

There are a lot of things about MADE OF STARS that changed from the first draft to the final copy—most notably, I was not allowed to blow up characters I didn’t like. RIP. #YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/qvQfOR55RY

It was such an interesting, action-packed story I thought would work well in a sweeping sci-fi space setting!#YAAuthorTakeover https://t.co/i8R3kz9n6j

I love any excuse to talk about my Star Wars inspiration (and how Oscar Isaac should absolutely star in a MADE OF STARS film adaptation) #YAAuthorTakeover https://t.co/GCcpUAbTtK
