Answers to some questions I’ve been asked before:
Did you always want to be a writer? No. When I was in middle school I wanted to play tennis at the championships at Wimbledon. Now my goal is to get to go to Wimbledon to watch a match.
How long did it take you to write your book? I got the idea about Ursula several years before I started writing this book. I did some research and wrote 2 different picture books about Ursula. Unfortunately (for me), Beth Kephart beat me to a publisher. Fortunately (for you), you can read her picture book about Ursula: Good Books for Bad Children. Then I decided to write a middle grade biography of Ursula, which turned out to be about 25 times longer than a picture book! If you add up the time for more research (including researching approximately 20 authors and illustrators), writing and revising, Books Good Enough for You took 2-3 additional years.
Do you critique other writers’ work? I’m still learning how to write, so I don’t do independent critiques.
How did you find Buddy? During the pandemic I looked online for a senior dog and I found him at an animal shelter about three hours away. When I sat on the floor to meet him, he sat next to me and leaned against me. That’s when I realized he’d chosen me.
