Abacus Method
THIS is how I made it through the long middle of my novel draft!
I interviewed Anika Fajardo!
Today is release day for Anika Fajardo’s MEET ME HALFWAY, a romp of a book that will entertain and inspire. I mean it! Check out my interview with Anika here: https://www.lasmusasbooks.com/blog/anika-fajardo-meet-me-halfway
I wanted to write a book that made readers feel like they’re on their own adventure. I also want kids to see that families can be lots of different things and that we can’t always know what’s going to happen when we first meet people.
–Anika Fajardo
I was interviewed by Terry Catasus Jennings of LasMusas!
“The spark for this book was meeting my real-life half-sister.”
-Rebecca Balcárcel
