In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Michelle R. Young discusses her latest young adult novel, Soul Cogs. It is the second installment in Michelle’s Gear Heart sci fi series set in Victorian England with a distinct steampunk vibe. This book picks up where the first book left off, and the characters are on the run during a very dangerous time. You can expect new characters and lots of new adventures for the both the heroes and the villains. Michelle describes Soul Cogs as being a roller coaster, not just for the reader, but for her as a writer. The book went through numerous drafts, and Michelle incorporated lots of input from her beta readers, who she credits with keeping the characters consistent and the story on track. In this episode, I’ll chat with Michelle about her writing journey, how she worked on developing her main characters both at their best and at their worst, and the community of writers that have become one of her favorite parts of being an author.
