I graduated from Calvin College, a Christian liberal arts school in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I had a number of great professors there who were really encouraging and helpful to me as a writer. For those of you who know YA lit, one of my profs was
Gary Schmidt, author of two Newbery Honor books.
Recently, I did a phone and e-mail interview with Lynn Rosendale, the Associate Director of Communications and Marketing and managing editor of
Spark, the alumni quarterly magazine.
Here is an extensive interview, and
here is a book review/interview.
For fellow Calvin grads, the book review/interview will be in this month's print issue of
Spark.Check it out!
