My Interview on Kidsreads with Kathryn Lasky

Today in St. Peters, MO: Drifting snow, high 21 degrees.

Recently I interviewed Newbery Honor author Kathryn Lasky for Kidsreads.com Lasky is author of over 100 fiction and nonfiction books for children and young adults. In addition to interviewing her for Kidsreads, I also reviewed her latest novel Lone Wolf, the first chapter of a new series called Wolves of the Beyond. Lone Wolf is a wonderful children's book which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

As a writer, I'm always curious to learn how writers, especially successful ones, approach their craft. In her Kidsreads interview Lasky talks about her writing process, how she thoroughly researches her topic, and she shares other advice for writers.

Some of you may have heard of Lasky's enormously popular Guardians of Ga'hoole fantasy series about owls. At the conclusion of her Kidsreads interview, Lasky also shares some information about the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie which is scheduled to be released by Warner Brothers in September, 2010.

If you get a chance, check out the interview--better yet, check out one of Lasky's wonderful books!
