Really fun interview with Jenn and Rob of MythBehaving. I recalled an inspiring moment that led to The Blue Diviners sparked by this New Yorker article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2000/05/08/resurrecting-alexandria
This is Chapter 1 ~ Blink / Fallen
Read by Kimberly Pickard, Illustrations by Leo Pickard
Donating paperback copies to Little Free Libraries around Austin, Texas. I hope somebody picks up a book to read. Many of these libraries are full with lots of interesting books for all ages.
And of course you can always order a copy for yourself https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWDD6NW4
I had a great time on Writing On The Air talking about the writing process and The Blue Diviners with host Mindy Reed. This was my first time being on the radio. I was a little nervous going in, but the questions and the conversation flowed naturally. It was a great opportunity to reflect on the novel and my writing process. Hope to do it again sometime. Listen to the full interview in the media player below.
