Interview with Fran Cannon Slayton!
Thanks for being with us, Fran! Tell us about your new MG novel, When the Whistle Blows.
It's about a boy who loves steam engines and who can't quite figure out his crotchety father, who is the foreman of the B&O railroad in his hometown. At its heart, it is a coming of age story that is also a mystery-adventure, complete with a late night ( Read more... ) -

Interview with Sarah MacLean!
THE SEASON is the story of seventeen-year-old Lady Alexandra Worthington, who is sharp tongued and strong willed and positively loathes dress fittings-exactly the opposite of what a lady should be in Regency London.
Alex, along with her BFFs, Vivi & Ella, can't seem to sit idly by drinking tea and embroidering. Instead, the girls get themselves ( Read more... )
