Seeing a Book as it Comes Into Being

    In August I met with my writer friend Nancy Flood, and she shared pages and sketches from her newest book with me.  As a writer, it is so exciting to watch a book take shape!
    Nancy is having great success with her book Soldier Sister, Fly Home, a middle grade fiction set on the Navajo reservation.  Nancy and her husband Bill lived in the Navajo nation for many years, and her book is authentic, funny, and touching.  She has also been so very encouraging as I struggle with my Chipeta story.
