\"ANancy Pearl talked about<\/a> A Brief History of Montmaray<\/em> this week in her regular book spot on KUOW-FM, a Seattle radio station. I am very chuffed about this \u2013 not only to hear someone on the other side of the world recommending my book, but also because this was NANCY PEARL. The most famous librarian in the world! Probably the only librarian to have her own action figure<\/a>1<\/a><\/sup> and trading cards and to have a tribute bluegrass band named in her honour!<\/p>\n

The interview with Marcie Sillman includes some discussion about what distinguishes Young Adult fiction from adult fiction (“Marketing,” Nancy Pearl astutely observes) and the role of history in historical fiction. You can listen to more book recommendations<\/a> at the KUOW website. Thank you, Nancy Pearl. Thank you, KUOW. And thank you, book people of Seattle.<\/p>\n
