CRAFT: Authors in Conversation with
Denise Kiernan
I joined Denise Kiernan, the author of The Girls of Atomic City, The Last Castle, and We Gather Together, on October 21, 2020, for some armchair adventuring and travel talk. During the chat, which was part of Denise’s web series, CRAFT: Authors in Conversation, we discussed writing while on the road, the most atmospheric literary locale, selling nearly all of your belongings to travel full-time, and much more, including the subject of my next book, Eleanor Roosevelt, and her incredible World War II-era journey. The conversation can be viewed here.
