FAQ #2
One question people ask before and after reading Turned is how I came up with the title and why did I name it Turned?
When I was writing, I didn’t have a clue what the title should be. Nothing seemed to stand out or fit, and I couldn’t go on the old fallback of naming it after the main character, because they were three. I remember I was sitting on the chair I nearly always write in, with my computer on my lap, and just thought what could be a word or two that describes this book I’d written? I first thought of Turned because of Petra, but I began to realize that Adrian and Darnell were turning just as much as she was. Their views and morals are turning all the time, as well as other minor characters.
And so that is how the title of Turned came to be.
