Author Spotlight: Write Away Podcast

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Fran Laniado- Author

height_90_width_90_Write_Away_Shit Last week, I recorded an episode of Write Away podcast with Natalie Lockett. She interview me about writing Beautiful, Nanowrimo, publishing, fairy tales and more. It was a new experience for me, having never been a guest on a podcast before, and it was a lot of fun. Take a listen on iTunes, Spotify or here

Met Jane Austen's The Beautiful Cassandra in the library today. Austen was only 12 or 13 when she wrote this book dedicated to her sister, Cassandra. There are 12 chapters here, but each is only a sentence or two long so it doesn't take much time to read! The title character is a 16 year old budding criminal, who wanders around London eating ice cream, taking coach rides, and not paying for any of it. In the afterward, Austen scholar Claudia L. Johnson calls it a "precocious work...anticipating her mature irony, sense of the absurd, gift of parody, and...stylistic mastery."

Caught the Virginia Woolf: A Modern Mind exhibit at the NYPL yesterday. Really interesting look at a fascinating woman, with diary entries, sketches, manuscripts with revisions, photos, first editions and more.

The sun is shining but feels to cold to do much of anything outdoors today, so I spent my Sunday morning watching Catherine, Called Birdy on Amazon Prime. Overall I found it to be an enjoyable adaption of on of my favorite middle grade novels (aka novels for late elementary/middle school age) but I did have a few issues with the ending.

Even though it's been about a million years since I last went trick or treating, I think I'll always love the sense of magic in the air throughout October. My last two reads have been very seasonally appropriate. Though, of course, now I'm planning to move to a quaint town in the countryside to become a witch!

One of the nice things about a book club is that you read things you never would have picked up otherwise. Such is the case with Michael Pollan's This Is Your Mind on Plants.

I was asked to write a list of Faerie Tales That Aren't For Children for Shepherd.com.
