A Conversation with Megan Whalen Turner, Part 1

Deirdre and Maria of the Mount Kisco Library, and Mary of the North Castle Library, speak with acclaimed author Megan Whalen Turner. Megan talks about her creative process, how she names her characters, how she constructs her plots, and why she will not answer questions about her books. She reveals why her characters never take her by surprise -- she expects them to be inconsistent, like real people, and does not assume that she knows everything about them. WARNING this interview does contain some spoilers for Megan's first three "Queen's Thief" books. Many thanks to Megan for this wonderful interview! We would also like to thank The Illiad for our opening song, and Cursor Miner for our closing song. The song illustrating the Thief's name is "Hey Eugene," from the album of the same name by Pink Martini. The "Sounis" community referred to in the podcast is here: http://community.livejournal.com/sounis You can find out more about Megan and her books at her web site, http://home.att.net/~mwturner/, as well as in the next episode of this podcast.

Episode 13. A Conversation with Fidencia Solomon

In this episode, Maria and Deirdre interview Fidencia Solomon, whose poem, "Looking for Change," was published in Seventeen magazine when she was fifteen. Her poem has since been republished, both in print and online, and has gained a whole new readership. Fidencia tells us how she happened to write the poem, and gives us some good tips on how to write what you love and love what you write! Here is the text of her poem. LOOKING FOR CHANGE I run into a phone booth, digging through my coat pockets for some change. Instead I pull out a handful of old gum wrappers and a stale Hershey bar that I never got around to eating. Three unemployed hairpins that once kept the hair off my face. A note I meant to send to my best friend, unopened ketchup packets from recent binges at Mickey D's. A shiny gold locket with a broken clasp …and a broken heart.… I find a tissue to wipe away a single tear running down my cheek, and still no change. — Fidencia Solomon, age 15, Brooklyn, New York
