Hey guys, welcome to the second of our November interviews! We were fortunate enough to get to chat with Amelia Vergara, author of the fast-paced historical fiction novel, La Belle Famille.

We got to deep dive into Amelia's research process, inspirations, and so much more!

"Historical fiction at its finest. We find ourselves in the year 1759 in the Great Lakes. The French are at war with the British and young Adam finds himself an unwilling participant to it all. He, Lidia, and Sophie, must move quickly to share a secret message with the soldiers at Fort Niagara, as any delays will end in certain death."

If you have any thoughts or questions for us, please don't hesitate to post them in the comments.

Also, to answer the final question at the end! Amelia let us know that her favorite boat-themed stories are 'Treasure Island' and 'True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle'.

Hey guys, welcome to the first of our November interviews! We are so grateful to get to chat with Phil Williams, author of the post-apocalyptic and eye-opening novel, Wixon's Day.

We dove deep into Phil's mindset when writing Wixon's Day, and how his writing has evolved over time!

"A boatman who finds himself drifting through a dreary and post-apocalyptic world. Secrets slowly start to unravel as he tries to bring Red back to her parents. A slow burn with an oftentimes raw and philosophical take on what it means to live."

If you have any thoughts or questions for us, please don't hesitate to post them in the comments.
