Thank You, Tamora Pierce!


Here's a big MERCI to the incredible Tamora Pierce for joining us at readergirlz this month!

We loved hearing stories from Tamora and learning about the intricate worlds she's created. We also learned that:

1. She plays an online game called Shanghai to procrastinate.

2. She gives great writing advice like, "Entertain yourself."

3. She had a friend who "had done weaving, glassblowing, gardening, pottery, carpentry, sculpting, sewing, knitting, lacemaking, metalsmithing, so if I got stuck at any point, I knew I could get him to help me out!" She based Niko on him. Cool!

We've so enjoyed having you here this month. Thank you, Tamora!
