It’s hard to put a label on Janet Taylor Lisle’s books.  From her latest publication, Black Duck, to her most critically acclaimed, Afternoon of the Elves, Lisle has an uncanny ability to convince readers that her blend of fantasy, mystery, and fiction are perfectly real.

On this live edition, Janet Taylor Lisle shared writing tips, explained how she mixes fact and fiction so successfully in her books, and of course, answered student questions about the writing process.
