Today is the blog blitz, organised by author Y. Correa, mod of the Indie Author Support Group on Goodreads – you can find out more about the group and Y here. For my piece on the blitz I’m featuring young adult writer and excellent all-round writing buddy – Tony Talbot! You may have seen my review of his latest book Eight Mile Island earlier this year. Tony is a regular blogger on my other blog Aside from Writing, and I’m excited to have him here as my guest today!
PS. If you’d like to see my feature, author Stephanie Hurt is hosting me at her blog here.

Mary Tanaka is an all American Girl until the attack on Pearl Harbor makes her something terrible: Japanese. And when the US Government decides all the Japanese within a hundred miles of the west coast should be moved inland to prison camps, she has no choice but to go.

Gimme 10 – Mini-Interview
Please answer each question in 10 words or less – that’s what makes it tough but fun!
Where do you find your inspiration? My wife and my dreams
What is your favourite aspect of American Girl? The research into Japanese culture was a lot of fun
Who is your favourite character from American Girl and why? Ganaha-san; so dignified and reserved, and so tragic.

Hello fellow Blitzer – I just realised that I totally forgot to link to my post in the one that I was hosting! Oooops. Great post, can’t wait to see how this pans out. 🙂
I wasn’t too sure on that element of it tbh, but popped it in so that some of the ‘chain’ of posts was visible.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look 🙂
Thanks for the links MCJ!
