Thank you to fellow YA author Holly Cupala for my most recent interview Story Secrets of Eternal (Candlewick, 2009, 2010)! Here's a peek:"Occasionally, a character will emerge who’s something of a composite of a number of folks I’ve known.
"Nora from Eternal is someone like that. She’s an older lady—the chef at the castle, nurturing, likes to treat trouble with a hot meal, and is always willing to listen. She’s a tribute of sorts to my grandmothers and aunties."
Leave a comment at the post for a chance to win a copy of the novel. Deadline: 5 p.m. PST Monday. See details.
