Interviewed for ten minutes…
Did you know I was interviewed in August during a freak snow storm? What?! Snow in August?!?! Ohh yes… well sorta *whispers–just go with it* and read on to find out more! I’m very honored when a fellow writer asks to do an interview with me. @10minutewriter and I first started talking on twitter about a year ago. We were both writers. Both homeschooled our kids. Both loved what we did. It was an easy match for friends! When Born to be a Dragon came out, her daughter (who is an avid reader) wanted to read and review it.
