We are starting a new segment on this blog. We are asking authors 7 random questions about reading, writing, and life. I'm thrilled that Joan Holub is our first participant.
Joan Holub has written and/or illustrated over 130 children's books. Check out her titles at http://www.joanholub.com/index.html
Seven Random Questions With Author Joan Holub
1-What’s the last book you bought?
Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick. I'm writing a children's book about Thanksgiving and this is a great resource.
2-If you had to dedicate your book to a thing (and not a person), what
would that thing be?
What a unique question! Dedication: To my newly-recovered chair. Thank
you for hugging me in your uncritical arms and letting me sit in you
while I've brainstormed many a new book idea.
3-What’s an interesting tidbit readers might not know about you or your
books?
My co-author (Suzanne Williams) and I didn't know how we were going to
write the Goddess Girls series together. We sent the proposal and 5
chapters out, and figured we'd work out how to write as a team if the
series got published. We're on our 12th one now, and it has been
mega-fun!
4-If you could have any career, what would it be? (And it can’t be “author”.)
Ballet teacher for little kids.
5-Do you prefer the sunrise or the sunset?
Sunset. I'm a night person.
6-What is the name of the protagonist in your work-in-progress?
Persephone.
7-What’s your favorite word?
Yes. (Especially when spoken by an editor.)
