I’ve always wanted to write about faking your own death–what would it actually take to accomplish that in today’s world? That lead me into a ton of fun to research. What was your initial inspiration for Dead End Girls? “Thrill ride” doesn’t even begin to cover it! We sat down with Wendy Heard to talk Dead End Girls, writing techniques, and her next thrilling project!

The main leads are both shy, kind and the relationship is balanced. But, the way this plays out is honestly far from the standard. The story starts with a pretty standard trope: unpopular girl meets popular boy. It's a story about expressing your emotions and love for others, all kinds of love: romantic, friendship & It's a story about love, of course, but it's so much more than that. I feel that it mirrors the pace of true high school life: little things happen day by day, inching slowly towards the end. It's slow-paced, simple and delicate in the best of ways.

These things I have tried to do in this book.” Fifty years later it bears saying by this reviewer that where others have failed, Slim succeeded. He might even give, to those who have not experienced it, some impression of what it feels like to shoulder a commander’s responsibilities in war. He might, by showing how one man attempted the art of command, be of use to those who may later themselves have to exercise it. He might, as honestly as he could, tell of the problems he faced, why he took the decisions he did, what helped, what hindered, the luck he had, and the mistakes he made. That, if it is to be complete and unbiased, should be the work of someone less personally involved.” He continues: “Yet such a general might write something of value. Indeed, his preface starts with the caution that “a general who has taken part in a campaign is by no means best fitted to write its history.
