“Eddy’s voice came easily, and I grew quite fond of the boy. Plot was harder.”
“Good fiction and nonfiction have a lot in common—clarity, logical flow, economy of words. Every passage, every word must have a purpose, whether the characters and situations are real or made up.”
–Jacqueline Houtman
The loose theme this week (besides introducing three terrific new releases and the stories behind them) has been to take a look at how authors use fact and fiction to inform as well as entertain.
So before I introduce our last author interview, I have to add another fantastic title to this week’s FACT and FICTION books—it hasn’t been released yet but the ARCS are out, so this is a mini-Tollbooth celebration. It’s for our own Tami Lewis Brown’s Soar Elinor, coming from Farrar Straus and Giroux this October. Add a Comment
