Writing Identity (and Fight Scenes!) w/ YA Author, Candace Kade
Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!
Welcome to Chapter 74! My guest is Candace Kade. Candace spends her time dreaming up stories typically involving technology, psychology, culture, and/or swords. She is the author of The Hybrid Series and a certified Krav Maga assistant instructor who loves writing action-packed martial art scenes. A third culture kid, she considers Chengdu and OKC to be her homes. When she’s not exploring new countries, she enjoys hiking in national parks, moving, teaching her husband Mandarin, and keeping two baby humans alive. She can be bribed with boba tea, fluffy puppies, and breakfast tacos.
In our conversation, we talk about the Hybrid trilogy with a focus on the third book - Augmented - that releases in September. We also talk about writing for YA audiences, how her experience of navigating cultures impacts her writing, and she gives some incredible thoughts on writing fight scenes. You’re going to love getting to know Candace Kade.
