Laurie Halse Anderson:
Hi Laurie! I've read your book Chains, and I love how you can connect a person from this time to someone from long ago, and connect them through obstacles they've overcome! Do you feel as if it's hard to write books in different times with people with different problems?
Laurie Halse Anderson
People have the same kinds of problems throughout time: injustice, war, family issues, survival. My job as a historical author is to research well enough that I can write about the time period accurately and set my characters' lives in the appropriate context.
