Recently, I had the chance to speak with the *Mountains & Plains
Independent Booksellers Association*, along with fellow Alqonquin Young
Readers authors *Amy Timberlake *and *Yamile Saied Méndez.*
Our panel, part of MPIBA’s Summer Camp series, was recorded, and now it’s
available live for anyone who’d like to see us chat up some fun fall
releases!
Amy Timberlake discusses the inspiration behind her charming and quirky new
readaloud, *Skunk & Badger*, illustrated by Jon Klassen. (My mother-in-law
gives *Skunk & Badger* rave reviews! And I don’t share just any old book
with Judy.)

Yamile Saied Méndez talks about her fantastic YA debut, *Furia, *full of
fierce girls, futbol, and romance. *Furia* will transport you right to
Rosario, Argentina with its rich sense of place!
And I share some behind-the-scenes secrets of the creation of the *Myrtle
Hardcastle Mysteries*.
A big thanks to our marvelous moderator, Megan Harley of Algonquin Young
Readers, and to the Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Association
for this fantastic panel. *Furia *and *Skunk & Badger* are coming September
15, and *Premeditated Myrtle* and *How to Get Away with Myrtle* will be
here October 6!
We have even more Big Bookseller News coming very soon, so stay tuned!
