Inspiration comes to writers from the most unlikely places. For Daniel Hayes, author of popular young adult fiction such as The Trouble with Lemons, The Eye of the Beholder, and No Effect, the muse took the form of slapstick comedy. "There was a point in my youth when I discovered the Three Stooges on television," Hayes told Authors and Artists for Young Adults (AAYA) in an interview. "Looking back now, I really think they've had an influence on my work, especially in the way many of my male characters interact with each other. I mean, the Stooges call each other names and hit each other over the head, but they are loyal to each other as well. My characters Tyler and Lymie from my first three books have a very Stooge-like friendship. They are always bantering and insulting one another, but there is no question they are friends. It's how lots of adolescent males act with each other."
Adolescent male behavior is the territory that Hayes has set out to chart.
