This week, we have Maggie Stiefvater, a young adult novelist and professional equestrian artist. A mother of two toddlers, Maggie lives in Virginia with her husband, her children, and two small dogs who have a distressing tendency to fart.
(By the way, Snoop is trying really hard NOT to make a farting joke right now.
First, if you haven’t noticed, Cynthealiu.com got a new look and a new web address (http://www.writingforchildrenandteens.com.) Yes, Snoop had to pack his bags and move over here since Cynthealiu.com will become my official author website in the coming months. WritingforChildrenandTeens.
This week, we have Emily Ecton, middle-grade novelist and writer and producer for Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the NPR news quiz. She has also been a playwright, a chinchilla wrangler, an ice cream scooper and a costume character. While Emily doesn’t have a groovy rabbit like Snoop, she does live in Chicago with her dog, Binky. And we here at Writing for Children and Teens love Chicago and all of our furry friends.
