This week, we spoke with Lamar Giles, the Edgar Award-nominated author of the YA thriller novels Fake ID, Endangered, Spin, and Overturned; the YA contemporary novel Not So Pure and Simple; and the YA horror novel The Getaway. Lamar Giles is also a founding member of the nonprofit We Need Diverse Books and the author of the A Legendary Alston Boys Adventure middle grade series.

Tune in to hear him talk about pacing the plots of his novels in a way that makes them compelling without feeling rushed, how he raises the stakes in both his contemporary and horror/thriller novels, and how he creates characters with unique perspectives on the world and maintains their voices throughout his stories.
