Talking about the YA Fantasy genre in general, Speculates that she believes more of her readers are young women. I tend to like more killing in a book than my wife does for instance so this checks out as far as my own anecdotal research. I remember YA fiction feeling juvenile even when I was of the appropriate. Tiara just thinks it's to do with the type of story itself. Women are just more drawn to fantasy for whatever reason.

Since Tales of Alexandria Stecklar is an ongoing series, I have to ask Tiara if she thinks buyers will be gun-shy about starting a book series since the GOT debacle. Tiara has been watching the ongoing Nerdrotic coverage of the long-anticipated (but not really expected) end of the GOT book series herself and thinks we might be holding onto false hope.

In one last gasp, we talk about book trailers. Tiara received so many mixed messages about them that she didn't bother. I wonder if a testimonial-type trailer might not work better than the movie trailer model. I know Storm Young got some traction with mysterious reels of her character ideas. Only time and experimentation will tell.
