I’m Victoria Roder, children’s author of adventures with
value. I have been invited to join the Children’s Author Blog Hop by fellow
author Cheryl Malandrinos.
What are you working on right now?
A time traveling
tale from AJ, a twelve-year-old boy’s point of view. Travel back in time to
small town USA
during the civil rights movement, to Nazi Germany during WWII and to a time
when Dragons ruled the land.
How does it differ from other works in its genre?
AJ has a unique
traveling partner.
Why do you write what you do?
I write adventures that I
would have loved to read as a young reader. My middle grade novel Sled Dog Tales revolves around “The Golden Rule
and is a fast paced training and sled racing adventure with a misfit husky. Coming Soon from DWB Children's Line.
In The
Curse of King Ramesses II, two best friends spend an exciting night in
a haunted museum and learn a lesson on owning up to mistakes and making amends. Wild Child Publishing.
In my picture book An Important Job to Do: A
Noah’s Ark Tale a small mouse learns that regardless of how we look,
God has a job for each of us.DWB Children's Line.
What is the hardest part about writing?
Finding enough time
to write and editing manuscripts. I should have paid more attention during grammar
lessons in school.
What is something unique you want readers to learn about
you?
I enjoy shooting bow at targets and I like to take my dogs out for ice cream.
Now I am tagging fellow author Debbie Roppolo the author of Amelia Frump.
I am looking forward to Dog Sled Tales.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm thrilled with the cover, but it has to be approved by the publisher before I can post it. I wanted to have my picture taken with my own Husky for the back cover, but not sure we can have that done by Monday.
ReplyDeleteExcellent interview, Victoria. All your books sound fascinating. Our oldest daughter is into WWII fiction. Ever since she saw Raiders of the Lost Ark she's been fascinated with that era.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in all you do.
Great interview Vicki! Your books look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in everyone!
ReplyDeleteSuper interview Victoria- I absolutely love how diverse your books are! It's not easy writing multiple genres, but it looks like you have it all covered- congratulations and keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all should have paid more attention to grammar back in high school...just sayin'
ReplyDeleteCheers,
