How did you approach the research process for your story? What resources did you turn to? What roadblocks did you run into? How did you overcome them? What was your greatest coup, and how did it inform your manuscript? Lil must find a way to survive not only the outbreak and its real-life consequences, but also her own personal demons. Just when it all seems too much, the cause of her original trauma shows up at her door. With friends and neighbors dying around her, Lil does everything she can to survive. With her parents called away on business before the contagious outbreak–her journalist father in Delaware covering the early stages of the disease and her mother in Hong Kong and unable to get a flight back to New Jersey–Lil’s town is hit by what soon becomes a widespread fatal illness. When people begin coming down with a quick-spreading illness that doctors are unable to treat, Lil’s worst fears are realized. Only a few people know what caused Lilianna Snyder’s sudden change from a model student to a withdrawn pessimist who worries about all kinds of disasters. Yvonne Ventresca is the first-time author of Pandemic (Sky Pony, 2014)( blog).
