| R.J. Julia Booksellers, in Madison, CT, is the most beautiful bookstore I've ever visited. It feels like an enchanted space where words go to live. And what a better guest than the incredible Holly Black, Young Adult and Middle Grade author of titles like: "Doll Bones," "Coldest Girl in Coldtown," and "The Spiderwick Chronicles." How inspiring to hear Holly Black talk about where her stories come from, her author journey, and a little bit about her approach to critiquing. Below is the woman herself along with yours truly and my friend, and fellow writer, G. Marie Merante. |
