Close and personal: I’m the cover story in the Fall edition of Wordworks

Wordworks Fall 2012One of my close friends, kc dyer, serves as the guest editor in the latest issue of WordWorks Magazine, which focuses on children’s lit and YA.

Lucky for her that the power-that-be wanted me to be the cover story; kc knows me so well I had absolutely no inhibitions during our interview. In fact, re-reading the story, I’m surprised at some of the things I said! Oh well. You can get a hint of what’s to come for Kendra Kandlestar in my upcoming book and read about my philosophies on how I think an author’s job is to “torture” his characters.

You can check out the issue here.

I’m pleased to see many of my other friends and colleagues featured in this issue as well. James McCann discusses the Zombie Apocalypse, Tanya Lloyd Kai has a piece on nonfiction, Jaqueline Pearce tell us about the process of writing about Japan, and Phyllis Simon from Kidsbooks relates life as a bookseller. And of course, there’s plenty form kc too!
