Fuse #8 TV: Laura Ruby (Now a National Book Award longlist finalist!)
As I’m sure you all noticed, yesterday the National Book Award announced its shortlist for the Young People’s category. A couple surprises there. M.T.

Fuse 8 TV: Rita Williams-Garcia
“Who can turn the stove on with her smile? / Who can take a bubble bath and suddenly fill it with crocodiles?”* If you answered: Rita Williams-Garcia then you are more than correct! The illustrious, charming, all around nice woman stopped by the Harper Collins offices to do a little talky talk with me the […]
Fuse #8 TV: Kevin Sherry
After a brief hiatus I’m back with my regular interview series, Fuse #8 TV. By complete coincidence (fortune favors the busy) I didn’t have an interview slated when I was in the thick of my move to Evanston.

Fuse #8 TV: Henry Clark and The Book That Proves Time Travel Happens
I’m a sucker for a good time travel story. By my count only a few have ever won the Newbery (is it two or three? You decide). Fewer still have won the National Book Award in the youth category. Even so, they live in a special place in my heart. So to hear that a […]
Fuse #8 TV: Chris Grabenstein and Reading (Too Much Into) Picture Books
Hi all! Okay. For this month’s Fuse #8 TV I decided to premiere a new series. *ahem* Introducing: Reading (Too Much Into) Picture Books Ladies and gentlemen, I like a good conspiracy theory.

Fuse #8 TV: Eric Carle Museum Tours and Absolutely Lisa Graff
Top of the morning to you, folks! I’m happy to release my second Fuse #8 TV episode. This time around I thought it would be a bit of fun to take a trip to the Eric Carle Museum. Not everyone has ever had a chance to visit and it’s just the loveliest place. After that, […]
