First after writing literary novels for more than two decades I wanted to write something just for the sheer joy of it. Ive always loved superhero stories. When I was a boy I used to rake leaves for the neighbors for money to buy comic books. So writing <i>Michael Vey</i> was personally satisfying. Second I felt like the Young Adult genre had been overrun by vampire- and dystopian-themed books. I just wanted to write an original good readsomething unique and exciting without all the negative life scripts for youth.</p>  <p><strong>GB:</strong> Where did the idea for electric children initially come from?</p>  <p><strong>RPE:</strong> Good question. After more than 75 years of comic books?? it wasn??t easy finding a unique superpower?and Michael Vey isn??t the first to use electricity. But once I came up with the idea to focus all the youth??s powers around electricity?? I was able to create something that I felt was both entertaining and distinct.</p>  <p><strong>GB:</strong> What??s the best story you??ve heard from other
