7 Random Questions with Jean Reagan
1-What’s
the last book you bought?
And
Then It's Spring
by Julie Fogliano, illustrated by Erin E. Stead. I bought it for my
daughter's 25th birthday 'cause I always give her a picture book in addition to
something more "age appropriate!"
2-If
you had to dedicate your book to a thing (and not a person), what would that
thing be?
A
canoe. Each summer I serve as a wilderness volunteer ranger in Grand
Teton National Park and I patrol by hiking and by canoeing.
3-What’s
an interesting tidbit readers might not know about you or your books?
There's
a photo on my website of Katherine Paterson reading to my sister and me when I
was about three (over 50 years ago!).
4-If
you could have any career, what would it be? (And it can’t be “author”.)
A
full-time, year-round national park ranger. How cool would that be?
5-Do
you prefer the sunrise or the sunset?
In
theory I prefer a sunrise, but in reality I enjoy sunsets much more frequently
than I do sunrises.
6-What
is the name of the protagonist in your work-in-progress?
Sparky.
The story is about a dog who's afraid of the water.
7-What’s
your favorite word?
Besides,
"chocolate," my favorite word is "discombobulated."
Sadly, I haven't yet figured out how to work it into a story.
