On this bonus episode, host Betsy Bird interviews Rajani LaRocca, author of the middle grade fantasy novel MIDSUMMER'S MAYHEM. Go behind the scenes as Rajani recounts what it was like growing Liyana’s story seed into the modern fairytale, "Aina and the Mirror" on Episode 5, "The Hungry Mirror." They also talk about favorite snacks, the weirdest (but effective!) places to write a novel, writing tips, and Rajani’s not just one, but two successful careers: she’s an author and a doctor!
