In fantasy writing you do a lot of worldbuilding - not unlike the world you transported us to in Caves, Cannons and Crinolines you had to recreate a time very different from our own and keep it credible and realistic - not an easy concept and you did it brilliantly!<br /><br /><a href="http://nasharpe.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Nancy, from Realms of Thought…</a>N A Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535316802416841336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986859118996444922.post-32099885236628143292010-08-13T14:38:35.750-04:002010-08-13T14:38:35.750-04:00Hi Karen,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm hooked on reading now.<br /><br />Donna, so nice of you to stop by. Thanks.<br /><br />You might be right, Darcia.Audio books are listening to someone read the story, same as listening to the radio. Who knew back then what the future would bring. TV was great. Now look at what we have.

I learned to read early on, thanks to my teacher mom, and couldn't understand why my youngest daughter didn't love reading. I needn't have worried about her. She became an English teacher, specializing in middle grade reading, and has won the admiration of many students and parents for helping kids learn the 'fun' of reading. Your story sounds much like hers.<br />Kudos for what you've accomplished and best wishes for a long happy career as a writer.<br />Pat DalePat Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190006506963492515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986859118996444922.post-57571924835126842312010-08-11T19:54:50.045-04:002010-08-11T19:54:50.045-04:00Thanks, Karen.

I think it's wonderful that you grew to love it. I'm not sure that all schools foster the love of reading for all kids. <br /><br />I think I used to listen to that show too! If it is the same show. The one I used to listen to had as it's theme song "The Teddy Bear's Picnic".:)Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986859118996444922.post-8641470770201283392010-08-11T17:48:01.124-04:002010-08-11T17:48:01.124-04:00Very nice interview, Katie.

Where families would sit together around the radio listening to the programs in the evenings. "Let's Pretend" sounds like the type of radio show I would have enjoyed listening to as a child. : )<br /><br />Great synopsis of Caves, Cannons, and Crinolines.
