Reviews and interviews, plus a hunt for luggage:
1. Alethea Kontis interviews me for Ingram Book Company
2. Jia on the Dear Author blog says nice things about Soul Enchilada.
3. The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books says this: “Bug finds that she is a key tool in Beals’ plan to overthrow Lucifer as head of the underworld, and that gives her just the amount of leverage she needs to pit the two baddies against each other in irresistible competition in the fields of competitive pizza delivery and basketball. This plays into the same spirit of Southern blues mythology that ignited Charlie Daniels’ fiddle but credibly renders it specific to the time and characters. Bug’s urban slang and feisty, streetwise attitude make her endearing.”
4. The Bookends Bloggers of Booklist Lynn Rutan and Cindy Dobrez reviewed Soul, as well. They also included a post about my recent visit to Grand Haven and Holland.
5. I’m on the hunt for the perfect luggage–22 inch carryon with slot for laptop, outer pocket for toiletries, wheels, and a handle. Suggestions?
