Lillian, I just finished reading the ARC of Immoral Code, and I was blown away by your knowledge of how high-level hacking works. Your character Nari is involved in "Minor espionage and extralegal social justice on the Darknet." How do you know so much about coding -- or how did you research this aspect of the book?

Lillian Clark Thank you Gail!! I am actually not at all a computer whiz (ha, I probably lose points for even using the term "computer whiz"), so I had to research t…moreThank you Gail!! I am actually not at all a computer whiz (ha, I probably lose points for even using the term "computer whiz"), so I had to research this pretty steadily as I wrote. I started by reading a fabulous book by Gabriella Coleman called HACKER, HOAXER, WHISTLEBLOWER, SPY: THE MANY FACES OF ANONYMOUS, and used that as my jumping-off point for research. Coleman's books was great for pointing me in the right direction for terminology and modes, which I then researched further online while figuring out how to apply them to the book itself. In the end, it's fiction of course, but hopefully *believable* fiction!(less)

Your book is an ensemble cast, so is it written with several pov's? If so, how difficult was it to nail so many voices, and if not, how difficult was it to explore each character but not show specifically their pov?

IMMORAL CODE has five main characters (Nari, Bellamy, Keagan, Reese, and Santiago) and alternates between each of their POVs. Writing it was definitely complex! I did a lot of outlining to keep the plot straight as it's told through five different voices. But getting inside each character's head was one of my favorite parts. After I wrote and polished the first draft, I went back and reworked each character's sections separately, focusing on voice and each MC's personal arc, as well as how they contribute to the book as a whole. In the end, the book is as much about these friends and their relationships as it is about the heist itself.(less)
