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, she has an uncanny ability to convince readers that her blend of fantasy, mystery, and fiction are perfectly real. Lisle written many books including The Crying Rocks, How I Became a Writer & Oggie Learned to Drive, and The Art of Keeping Cool.
On this live edition, the author discusses historical fiction in her books, the writing process, research, and the “dead zones” that authors stumble into from time to time.
