Am looking forward to Imp's tale. That it can make you cry is a testament to the power of your writing ability. I've been reading your words since you worked in comics, so a switch over to YA in the future will not remove me from your fan base.
I too have been reading a good bit of YA fiction the last few years and have to admit I don't really understand the designation. I mean, when I was really a YA myself, I was reading standard sci-fi, fiction and horror...there was no distinction between what an adult read and what a teen read. And what is this current passion for "genre" anyway? Why does reading material need to be divided and then subdivided into smaller and more specific increments? Why do so many people (readers or writers) feel the need to be placed in boxes and not step outside? (Dark Gods forbid!)

Anyway...where you write, I will read.
