Backstory on Writing
Random House has posted an “author spotlight” featuring Nate and some of his backstory on writing. You can check it out here. And speaking of his writing, on our flight over to the UK (where I now am) I got a chance to listen to the first part of 100 Cupboards on audio. Really good …
