Interview with Cynthia Leitich Smith from Tabitha Olson at Writer Musings: A place to ponder books, as well as how the words get on the page.
Peek: "After a break during college, I returned to reading comics, graphic novels, and children's-YA literature while I was in
law school. In an academic field with some weighty (sometimes intentionally convoluted) language, such works came as a welcome relief. Not long after graduation, I made the decision to write full-time."
