In this episode I talked with writer and educator (and my aunt!) Karen George Aukema about how she took inspiration from her own life and wrote historical fiction books about a boy named Ashel.  Karen gives valuable tips for getting started and what has been helpful for her.  Whether you're interested in writing yourself or not, this episode highlights what it means to take an idea all the way from inspiration to fruition.
