Leeame asked Jane Yolen:

How do you find inspiration to write? Do you find inspiration or you just sit down and write since you are doing something you love? Love your book!!

Jane Yolen Sometimes it's inspiration and sometimes its sheer perspiration and doggedness. Depends on each project. That's part of what's so interesting to me. I never know till the magic happens.

And most times it's a combination of both.

My 7 year old son just read Bad Girls in three days and announced it was the best book he has ever read! Can you recommend other history books you have written that he would enjoy? He is starting Wizard's Hall tonight, but I think part of what he loved about Bad Girls was the history.
