Emily A. Duncan is a youth services librarian and YA author whose Russian-inspired fantasy debut, Wicked Saints, centers on a cruel prince, a boy turned monster, and a girl with a pantheon of gods whispering in her head. This buzzy first novel inspired fan art before it even released, and has since hit the bestseller list. We talked to Duncan about fanfic, fairy tales, and pantsing her way through two books and counting.
