Supporting character Mase in your novel GAMMA GLAMMA rarely speaks. Was it difficult to express his intentions in details rather than dialogue?

No, because I knew a guy like that in high school. At first it was like trying to be a mind reader. But after a while it felf more like an easy game of charades or I should say Pictionary. But when you did get him to speak or laugh you felt like you just walked on water.

Luz has a watch/planner called Watchame, and it bears a drawing which corresponds with something you drew. Tell me how you came up with it.

First of all, I love stickers, and anything that looks Japanese. I wanted something fun to have that would work as a Luz’s mini-me and also works as a mascot for GAMMA GLAMMA. It was important that she looked hi-tech and fun. People really have taken a shine to her. We call her GG (like GiGi) for short. I love her and have her on all my folders, books etc.
