Neither Julie nor Addison Armstrong would be a value-add in the armed services; but, they’re good for fun conversation about books and writing! Addison, author of The Light of Luna Park and The War Librarian, joins Julie to talk about her path to publication, beginning with the writing of her first manuscript as a just-for-fun summer project with her mom and sister (here’s where Julie understood that Addison is an overachiever). Addison shares about writing historical fiction and how she approaches crafting her dual timelines. She also discusses the pressures of writing and how to ease the agony of waiting during the submission and publishing process by working on something new. Addison is also a teacher, so finishes her conversation with Julie by sharing what she’d like people to know about the current state of education in our country.
