Talking with LitPick
I loved reading eleven-year-old reviewer GlowElm’s review of Azalea, Unschooled on LitPick. LitPick also asked me to participate in their Six Minutes with an Author feature.

Read MoreAnother Review for Azalea
I loved reading an eleven-year-old reviewer’s comments about Azalea, Unschooled on LitPic!
