[quote]Part of Book Two is about how Rascal deals with everything she’s learned so far, and the realization that all this shit has just been dropped on her. She’s literally carrying the fate of the world around her neck, and that’s not a good place to be for anyone – let alone a young girl who’s never left her hometown before.
It’ll lead to some dark times, and dark places, for Rascal. But at the same time, she’s a character who thrives on adversity. Events will inevitably change her, and that change is something I’m really looking forward to dealing with – not to mention readers’ reactions to it.[/quote]

« IF IT BLEEDS » Yeah, you read it right. New Year’s Eve, last day of the year. That’s when we decide to publish the last issue of Book Two, probably the most important issue of UMBRAL yet. It’s just how we roll. (Seriously, you’ll want this one. It’s kind of climactic.)[/quote]
