When I taught at Ft Huachuca I found the independence of my students both inspiring and worrying--especially since that particular fort included miles of wilderness with bears, cougars, and coyotes, not to mention rattlesnakes and scorpions!<br /><br />I should have mentioned that Listening Library did a great audio of the book and they even asked me to read the author's note. That was so much harder than I thought it would be! It took me an hour and a half to read 5 pages. Fascinating experience though! I have a whole new appreciation for voice artists. My voice actor for Second Fiddle is Bree Knickerbocker, and the book is also available in downloadable audio.Rosanne Parryhttp://www.rosanneparry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-5959311745421606662011-05-09T16:30:42.089-04:002011-05-09T16:30:42.089-04:00This book sounds fabulous!

And you're totally right about military kids--I remember growing up on a military base and being completely FEARLESS and independent...like all the other kids. And because of the environment, our parents pretty luch let us be that way. "You want to ride your bike a couple miles across base? Sure, why not. Seven is old enough." ;)<br />Thanks for the interview!Faith E.

You can find out about it at www.willamettewriters.org. It's a very large and well organized conference with an emphasis on pitching finished projects to the dozens of agents and editors they bring in.<br /><br /><br />If you are looking for a smaller and more craft-based learning experience this summer, you might take a look at the Fishtrap Summer Workshop. I'll be teaching the MG/YA section of the workshop. It's a weeklong experience in the beautiful Wallowa Lake region of eastern Oregon. You can learn more about that at www.fishtrap.org.<br /><br />So I haven't quite left teaching behind, I do love to teach almost as much as I love to write. Finding the right balance between teaching and writing is always going to be my work-in-progress.Rosanne Parryhttp://www.rosanneparry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-34358037272864258492011-05-09T10:31:25.922-04:002011-05-09T10:31:25.922-04:00Wonderful interview with Rosanne, Natalie.

They are great fun and she and her trio are amazing.<br /><br />I'm really excited about your ASK THE EXPERT series: you are tapping into the most important link in the chain: the teen reader. I can't wait to hear what he has to say!<br /><br />And, in the <b>unlikely</b> event I actually end up winning SECOND FIDDLE, could you please donate it to a local school library? I already have a treasured copy.
