Sarah Kinney, girl graphic novel writer here! I spend a LOT of time on the computer writing the Nancy Drew Graphic Novels. Since I’m not a total criminal mastermind, myself, I also have to Google a lot of stuff that bad guys (and gals) probably already know about how to commit certain crimes. I also cruise the net for pictures to help artist, Sho Murase draw what I’m talking about and work her ND magic.
Number 18: The City Under the Basement, got me Googling like crazy. I wanted the underground city’s mystery to be something pretty spectacular, so I went a little overboard investigating ancient scientific innovations. Writing Nancy Drew gets me investigating myself, and learning about all kinds of things. Some of these facts and figures never make it into the stories because they just don’t fit or in the case of City, they’re astronomical equations that make my head spin! Like some other investigators, I guess I can get a little obsessed.
Something I don’t spend a lot of time doing, though, is blogging. This is a very cool, new experience. Can’t wait to hear from ND readers! Stefan Petrucha and I are excited about the chance to respond to comments, questions and general Nancy Drew-ism. So, write soon!
Hello Sarah, glad to see you keeping up the Nancy Drew tradition. [I found this blog via looking up Bionicles and said.. oh cool there is something for the kids.] I have not read any of the comics yet, but will now put it on the bookstore hunt.
You should be able to find NANCY DREW graphic novels wherever NANCY DREW books are sold — including all online booksellers — as well as many local libraries!
Hey, Sarah, I haven’t read any of your work, because the newest Nancy Drew I’ve read was a pre-Kinney book. I’ll have to check some new stuff out.
Thanks for blogging. Gee, I should check this more often. Nancy isn’t JUST for kids, Stephen! And Bioncles, well, your call. Spencer, I really think it’s especially fun to start at the beginning of the series and read chronologically. We occasionally bring back characters and reference earlier plots. And, while my name didn’t go on Nancy Drew until number 10, it’s part of a fun three part story where Nancy gets to drive some cool vehicle in each one, including a train! Thanks for reading!
