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!
