My friend and critique group partner, Carolyn DeCristofano, had a great signing event at Westwinds Bookshop for her amazing book, A Black Hole is Not a Hole (which has gotten FOUR starred reviews, by the way).
Carolyn has a way of making science easy and fun. The audience was eager to volunteer for her fun activities that helped explain black holes.

The talented author, Carolyn DeCristofano, is in the house today to talk about her amazing new nonfiction book for children, A Black Hole is NOT a Hole (illustrated by Michael Carroll) and her writing process.
This fascinating book has garnered oodles of rave reviews, including a starred review from Booklist:
"...this book will snatch readers from their orbits and fling them into a lasting fascination with nature's most attractive phenomena."
And a starred review from Kirkus:
"Stargazers will be entranced, and even those not especially attuned to matters celestial will come away feeling smarter, awestruck and with a sense of finally understanding this fascinating, other-worldly phenomenon. An excellent resource. Hole-y astronomy!"
So, let's get started!
Carolyn, you have a real gift for making science understandable to those of us who aren't science-oriented. But you also make reading science such a pleasure with your lovely language. Can you tell us a bit about that writing process?
Thank you, Barbara! It’s an honor to hear you use “lovely” to describe my writing!
I am still learning what my writing process is like; here’s what I know so far.
When I have extended periods for writing—which is rare—my process involves a lot of napping and fridge check-ins. You never know when the contents of the fridge are going to spontaneously move around on you. Gotta’ keep your eye on that hummus (or ice cream in the freezer).
