This week, we're joined by special guest Erin Thomas, the author of more than half a dozen books for young people, including Forcing the Ace, Wolves at the Gate, and Overboard. She teaches creative writing to people of all ages, from Toronto schoolchildren to residents of the Oshawa Senior Citizens' Centre. She's a member of CANSCAIP, the Writers' Community of Durham Region, and the Canadian Children's Book Centre. Together, Erin and I dive into Chapter 14: Secrets, in which Jo publishes her very first story and enters into a footrace with Laurie, one with staggering Greek-mythic implications. You can visit Erin online at erinthomas.ca.
