Peterfreund added that anyone aspiring to be a writer should persevere and write as much as possible despite setbacks. “Then when I was researching and I came across legends where virgins help hunt unicorns, I thought, ‘Well that fits in.’ So I just put it together.” “It got in my head that I wanted to write something about a 16-year-old, and one of the things I wanted to write about was sexual pressure,” she said. She extensively researched Rome and legends of unicorns from around the world while writing her books, which primarily include malevolent unicorns based on real legends. Peterfreund, who talked to several of English teacher Susan Buckingham’s classes, primarily discussed her “Killer Unicorn” series, which is based on a 16-year-old virgin and descendant of Alexander the Great who hunts unicorns in Rome, because it’s more geared toward teens.
