Listen in the podcast as I discuss my start in fiction writing, and what prompted me to write a book about foster care. Writing a book was not a plan or a goal for me, but it has been life-changing. The publication of Plenty Good Room, by Denise Stinson at Warner/WalkWorthy Books gave me the opportunity to travel to Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago and to be an invited speaker at the prestigious Virginia Festival of the Book.
Called a "superb debut novel" by Booklist, Plenty Good Room is available in libraries throughout America and the world. It is a story of love for self and others and how loving can make us strong where we are weakest and give us courage to press through our fears. Readers call it "inspirational," "funny" and "real." Read Plenty Good Room and don't forget to leave a review!
And, stop through my author website with any suggestions you have about how we might raise knowledge about the plight of children in foster care.
In my next podcast I discuss The Jefferson's stories: The Other Sister and Something About April.
Till then, I wish you hot summer fun and cool nights,
:-) Cheri
