How did you give your characters this verisimilitude? The characters seem very real as if based on experience or young adults you know or have observed. In the novel the idea of sky represents something to reach for out of the grief and the story is a somewhat fractured look at that. What is the significance of your title, Pieces of Sky?

How did you get published – an agent or through the slush pile?

Pieces of Sky(Allen & Unwin) is your first published YA novel. Thanks for talking to Boomerang Books, Trinity.
