For anyone who enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars and is a fan of John Green, here is a great interview with Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report. I’m not sure I agree with Colbert’s quip about YA being ‘ghettoized’, but I can’t help but enjoy his comment that “…As far as [Colbert] can tell, a young adult novel is a regular novel that people actually read.” If only that were true for all YA novels…

Scott Boyer grew up in Santa Monica, CA and still resides in the Los Angeles area. Graduating from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley in 1996, he started writing Bobby Ether And The Academy with the goal of blending YA fantasy with spiritual fiction. Nowadays, Scott splits his time between helping his father manage an insurance brokerage, playing with his Shepherd-mix rescue dog Patch, and writing other adventures in the Bobby Ether series.
Thanks for posting this. It was awesome. Love John Green and Stephen Colbert (don’t tell my husband).
