Angela Castillo & Jamie Foley

I love Little Women.
I’ve probably read it 20 times.
What was the hardest scene from The Busy Moms
Guide to Writing to write?
The technical chapters
are a little more difficult because I’m not really a techie person, but we
tried to make them easy to understand because we know many beginning authors
really need a simple and comprehensive guide to getting started.

It just happened. I
started writing when I was eight years old and never stopped.
