ama 3pm I’m Jenna Glass, author of the Women’s War series—and author of 21 other books under the name Jenna Black. AMA
Before tackling feminist epic fantasy, I wrote paranormal romance and urban fantasy, as well as YA fantasy, dystopian, and horror novels. My “first” published novel was actually the 18th novel I’d written and completed. QUEEN OF THE UNWANTED—the second book in the Women’s War series, releasing today (May 12)—is now the 23rd novel I’ve had commercially published. I’m also a Certified Zentangle Teacher (and addict!) and dog-mommy to Dash the Rescue Dog. You can learn more about my books and my obsessions at www.JennaGlass.com. Follow me on Twitter (@JennaBlack), Instagram (@JennaBlackBooks), and Facebook (@JennaBlackGlass).

Hi Jenna! If your first published novel was the 18th novel you'd written and completed, how did you motivate yourself to keep going? Thanks!

I love that the protagonist in The Women's War is a mother. You don't find that in typical fantasy novels. Can you tell us more about your thinking behind including that point of view?

When you you were first dreaming up the magic system of the Women's War world, what kind of questions were you thinking about?
