15 with the Author | ‘Ice Out’ by Mary Casanova 10/3/16

bk_ice-out_190Mary Casanova has a sure touch when she describes the laconic exchanges between neighbors, the skin-burning cold of a Minnesota winter or the deadly consequences of misjudging an icy road. Mary is my guest today on 15 with the Author. She is an award-winning children’s author of novels and picture books. Many of her books stem from her life on the Minnesota-Canadian border.  Her latest young adult novel, “Ice Out”, is set in the 1920’s just as prohibition is taking hold of the country.  Mary talks about being one of 10 kids, her writing process and advice for writers.  marycasanova.com
