Clara, you are still inspiring me to write, although it's still just in my personal journals and blog. You don't have to put me in the drawing for the book though - I already have all of Clara's books, autographed!

I love historical fiction and although it has been years since I served as children's librarian, I still read the kid's books just for me. There is nothing better than a well-written juvenile historical fiction that anyone, male or female, can enjoy! It takes real talent and dedication to research and write one as I can testify.Betty Craker Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008202380876213558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-58184688635540044302011-04-25T15:31:41.768-05:002011-04-25T15:31:41.768-05:00I so enjoyed the interview.

In my manuscript The Family Secret, I also wrote about a family mystery, because it is what I would loved to have happened to me when I was a child.

The fact that these books are historically accurate is of particular interest to me. Making history fun to learn at any age is so important.
