Sarah, you rock! Is the next book after The Mapmaker's Children, which is your new release, also historical fiction with a dual narrative? Any tidbits you can share like time period or setting? :) your adoring dan, serena
Sarah McCoy
Dear adoring Serena,
Yes, the novel I'm writing now is another contemporary-historical dual narrative. ;) Tidbits I can share? Hmm... I'm one of those awful secretive authors. I don't whisper a word about my book babies until they are grown enough to hold their heads up autonomously. That said, I can tell you this-- it's turn of century (early 1900s) and today. The location is a far cry from anywhere I've ever gone before. To quote Doc B, "Book 1 was 1960s Puerto Rico. Book 2, WWII Germany. Book 3, Civil War Virginia. And now this?? After 17 years together, you'd think I'd know your imagination."
Don't blame me. I'm just the writer. I go where the characters point and I'm having a wildly good time adventuring to this ancient exotic setting. Stay tuned. More information releasing in the next few months...
Yours truly,
Sarah

As writers, we deal in conflict. And where there's conflict there is bound to be anger. Can you share one of the bigger anger vectors in your life? Whether it's to do with a personal concern, a worldview-related concern, or something to do with the writing world. Does this anger ever make its way into your work? If so, how? How might a writer make use of his or her anger so as to keep from becoming bitter?

In your book, The Mapmaker's Children, an old doll plays an important role both in the 1860s and the present. What other signs, symbols, and secret codes did you uncover in your research that allowed the stations on the Underground Railroad to communicate with each other and the slaves escaping to freedom?
