Everyone in my family is very sarcastic and sassy, but I’d like to think that I have a better sense of when it is or isn’t appropriate.
Tricia Levenseller: First off, thank you so much! I’m so glad the committee loved the book! I think the main trait I pulled from my own personality is Alosa’s sarcasm. Are there are any qualities in Alosa that you pulled from your own personality, or some that you wish you had yourself? Johanna Albrecht: Our Indies Introduce committee loved this book, and I especially loved the powerful and intelligent narrator (and namesake of the book), Alosa. She and Albrecht recently had the opportunity to meet during the Indies Introduce featured talk at Winter Institute 12, where Albrecht, who is the children’s manager and buyer at Flyleaf, posed a few questions to Levenseller. She studied English and editing in college and writes historical fantasies for teens. Levenseller grew up in a small town in Oregon and now lives in Utah near the Rocky Mountains. “ Daughter of the Pirate King is an action-packed novel for young adults with a vibrant fantasy world, deceptive twists, and intelligent, fascinating characters,” Albrecht said. Johanna Albrecht of Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who served on the Winter/Spring 2017 Indies Introduce Middle Grade/YA panel, described Levenseller’s debut work as compulsively readable and exciting. Tricia Levenseller is the author of Daughter of the Pirate King (Feiwel & Friends/Macmillan), a Winter/Spring Indies Introduce debut novel for young adults.
