Comments on: Interview & Giveaway With Author Toni Buzzeo https://fromthemixedupfiles.com/interview-giveaway-with-author-toni-buzzeo/ of Middle-Grade Authors Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:04:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Toni Buzzeo https://fromthemixedupfiles.com/interview-giveaway-with-author-toni-buzzeo/comment-page-1/#comment-309037 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:04:58 +0000 https://fromthemixedupfiles.com/?p=57882#comment-309037 Judy, it will be a personal journey for you, to some extent, too, thinking of your parents. I was laughing with a writing friend at my book launch who said that she doesn’t write historical fiction. But her award winning book is set in the 1980’s. When you think about, as you say, all of the luxuries we take for granted today, that even applies back forty years ago to some extent. Taking ourselves back to the hollers of the Appalachians, and adding in their profound isolation to the lack of modern conveniences puts us in another world indeed!

Jennifer, I know! Wasn’t DCSC just such a fabulous book? I suspect you’re going to enjoy LCTSM equally–at least I hope so!

I find the subject matter and historical timeframe of Toni’s novel so intriguing! I can’t wait to read it! My parents grew up around this same time period and I know both lived without many of the luxuries we take for granted today. Congratulations, I hope to see that your next MG will be coming out soon!

Knowing that Down Cut Shin Creek was an inspiration for the book makes me even more excited to read it as I read the book many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for this fabulous interview.

I, too, am hoping that infrastructure investment NOW brings the kind of modernity equity the REA did in the late 1930’s.

Anna, thank you! It’s SO very different–like travelling to another country, really.
