Over the course of eight full-length novels, plus a near-equal number of special story collections and holiday tales, I’ve watched as Aidan, Kevin, and the rest of the Wildcards matured, struggled, learned, loved, won, and lost. The storyline has always remained rock solid, constantly moving both the plot and the characters forward. The series is dystopian, it's techie, it's a warm and inclusive hug for marginalized people, it's creative, it has more twists than a licorice stick, and it's crazy good!
