A.C. Wise is not the first author to put her own spin on J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan stories, and she won’t be the last. But as she explains in the following email interview about Hooked (paperback, Kindle), the companion to her previous Peter Pan novel Wendy, Darling, this sequel / prequel / sidequel does have one thing the rest never will: A.C.’s unique perspective.
Just as there’s been many retellings of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, there have also been many stories about what happened to Peter after that classic fairy tale. But writer Gama Ray Martinez is taking a different approach with his by making his fairy tale fantasy novel God Of Neverland (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook) be not about Peter, but instead about Michael Darling. In the following email interview, Martinez explains why he wanted to tell Michael’s tale, and what influenced this story.
