I was so lucky to join Shannon Balloon on her wonderful new Middle Grade Matters Podcast to talk about my writing journey and debut series CLARA POOLE AND THE LONG WAY ROUND. This podcast is a fantastic new entry in the world of kid lit and Shannon has done a truly remarkable job bringing an array of different authors' voices to the table. So excited to see this resource grow! (Also, I think I get the award for numbers of "ums" used in a podcast. Ugh!).
