Thrillers, Mystery, and Romance: Three Young Adult Authors Chat Teen Fiction

Three rising stars of Young Adult fiction talk about their work with author Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson.    In Tomi Oyemakinde’s latest speculative thriller, We Are Hunted, seventeen year old Femi takes a top-secret business trip to a remote and mysterious island.  Helen Comerford’s The Love Interest is a swoony, humorous take on the conventions of the superhero-verse.   Drawing on his previous career as a celebrity journalist, award winning author Benjamin Dean examines the dark underbelly of showbiz in How To Die Famous.

Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson is a Sunday Times bestselling author and first winner of Future Worlds Prize for SFF writers of colour.  Her book, The Principle of Moments, is an epic sci-fi fantasy.
