Marie Lu is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Young Elites series, as well as the blockbuster bestselling Legend series.

I was thrilled to have Marie on the show and loved every minute of our conversation. She shares how she finds inspiration for her characters and stories as well as her methods for overcoming writer’s block.

Marie also shared childhood stories with me and what it was like emigrating from China. We engage in a candid conversation about stereo types, racial injustice and discrimination.

Marie’s newest book, Skyhunter, is available on September 29 and you can preorder your copy today!

I’m loving these conversations and hope you are too. If you are, please rate my podcast on your platform of choice! If you would like to support with a donation, you can become a patron of the show by visiting my website or Patreon.com.
