From Avi: As I did last summer, I’ve invited 13 admired middle grade authors to write for my blog for the next three months. I hope you’ll tune in each Tuesday to see who has answered these three questions. You should have a list of terrific books to read and share and read aloud by the end of the summer … along with new authors to follow!
Your favorite book on writing:
Love, love, love Natalie Goldberg’s book, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within.
Reading aloud from my books:
Harvey Potter’s Balloon Farm is the most requested read aloud. Second to that is Raising Dragons and then, Thunder Rose
Where do you write most often?
My writing space is very much in transition. It is being moved to a new location.
In the meantime, I can show you what it looks like while its contents – papers, pencils, pens, books, files, glasses, coffee cups, slippers, sweaters are right now all being packed up into boxes. My desk, considerably much neater than when I am working there. Sparse, really, hardly recognizable.
Jerdine’s most recent middle grade novel, Hope’s Path to Glory: The Story of a Family’s Journey on the Overland Trail
