![]() SS: The idea of steampunk has appealed to me for a while because I’ve always been a bit of a fan of Victoriana. MP: What was the inspiration for Rebel Mechanics ? Rebel Mechanics is my first novel for young adults, though a lot of teens have read my earlier books, as well. I had a few romance novels published, then moved into fantasy with the Enchanted, Inc. I started seriously writing - as in finishing a book instead of starting a lot of ideas - about a year after I finished college and sold my first book not long after that. I studied journalism in college with the idea that it would be a way to learn about writing while getting trained in something I could get a job in (since there aren’t really any “entry-level” novelist jobs). I think that was when I decided this was what I wanted to do when I grew up. ![]() I was about twelve when I realized that if I wrote these stories down, I’d have a book. ![]() Shanna Swendson (SS): I’ve always entertained myself by making up stories in my head. ![]() Miss Print (MP): Can you tell us a bit about your path as a writer? How did you get to this point? Today Shanna Swendson is here for to talk about her delightful latest novel. This alternate history novel blends elements of fantasy and steampunk to create an adventurous novel with romance, action and tons of fun. Rebel Mechanics has quickly become one of my favorite books. ![]()
