Episode Synopsis

Welcome to a special mini-episode of To All the YA I've Loved Before! This week, Jamie Krakover, an aerospace engineer by day and a sci-fi and fantasy writer by night, joins Kaycee to discuss her upcoming book Authority. Jamie shares her unique journey as an engineer and the author of the Tracker Sequence duology. We dive into the YA she’s loved before, including the pivotal books that ignited her love for reading and writing, such as Ender's Game and The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott.
Topics of discussion include the fascinating intersection of Jamie’s engineering career and her writing process, and how she balances her dual roles and incorporates her STEM background into her narratives. Plus we explore how her Jewish heritage influences her storytelling, particularly in her debut novel Tracker 220, and how she navigates the complexities of technology and tradition.
