What is the best writing advice you’ve ever received?
Learn the craft of writing and stick with it.
Do you have a website/blog where readers may learn more about you and your work?
Yes, I do: Margot Finke’s World of Writing for Children; “Rattlesnake Jam”; “Gran’s Kitchen – Rattlesnake Recipes to make Mom faint; Rattlesnake POLL – have you eaten rattlesnake? When, where, and why?
Do you have another book on the works? Would you like to tell readers about your current or future projects?
All are mid-grades almost ready to go out and earn their keep:
Survival by Walkabout – 2 boy’s have adventures in the Aussie outback. The aboriginal Dreamtime plays a big part in this.
Taconi and Claude – Double Trouble – Aboriginal boy and his cockatoo have fun and dangerous times on an outback cattle station. The Dreamtime looms.
The Revenge of Thelma Hill – ghost mystery. A skeleton in the basement, and a ghost who wants someone to PAY!
Down-Under Calling – a reluctant grandson is hooked by his grandmother’s letters from Australia. A mix of both their daily lives, plus letters back and forth between a grandmother and a grandson.
Anything else you’d like to say about yourself or your work?
A huge “thank you” to Mayra Calvani, for thinking up these awesome questions. She really made me stop and think.
Thanks, Margot! It was a pleasure to have you here!
