As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I wrote a children’s book called Pumpkin Spice, which was illustrated by the amazing Monique Dong. The book is out now from Penguin Random House.

Recently, YA Books Central – also known as YA (and Kids) Books Central – interviewed me. During the interview, I talked about all things Pumpkin Spice: what inspired me to write the book, what scene I’m proudest of, what the book is really about (thematically), and more!

But I also talked about my creative journey and writing career in general. For instance, I discussed the most important thing I’ve learned as a writer, the type of music I listen to while writing, and what my favorite literary tropes are.

Hey, if you make it to the end of the interview, there’s even a giveaway! (So – you know – you should probably read it all the way to the end.)

You can buy a copy of Pumpkin Spice HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
