The second Books 'n' Shit author interview is with the wonderful Esme Carmichael; author of the Connections series, the first of which is The End of Everything.

The four part series has two books and a novella currently in circulation so check out the interview to listen to Esme's writer journey. After an introduction (00:50) to Esme and the books themselves, we discuss the dystopian them of the novel (02:40) as well as the epic descriptions (05:33) throughout the novel. We talk about her incredible villain Mason (08:35) and how she felt about writing him and dystopia in general, considering its popularity in YA (16:10).

We close up with Esme's next steps and how you can stay in touch with her (23:35).
