Zeno Alexander is the author of The Library of Ever and The Rebel in the Library of Ever, two top titles on Julie’s list of middle-grade books. Since Zeno is busy tending to his extinct plants, Stephen Messer joins Julie in this episode to talk about pen names, his inspiration (and admiration for) Lenora, the main character in his series, and why mistakes – in writing and life – are not only unavoidable, but necessary.
