![]() Growing up, I was always really sensitive to the idea of missing children. Why did you decide to write about a missing child and the ensuing controversy? Interview with Author of Every Missing Piece, Melanie Conklin Hi Melanie! It’s so great to chat with you about Every Missing Piece! I loved Maddy’s story, and as a person with anxiety, I related hard to so many of her concerns. I loved this interview and I know you will too. I was delighted to chat with her about Every Missing Piece, anxiety, tips for writing hard themes for kids, her favorite writing craft books and how she maintains a mostly productive writing schedule. Melanie is a dedicated writer who obviously pays attention to her craft. I recently read her latest middle grade novel, Every Missing Piece - and I loved it even more than her debut. ![]() I loved the protagonist’s family who named both their kids after herbs: Thyme and Valerian. ![]() A little known fact is that Counting Thyme was one of the first middle grade books I read (listened on audio) in my adult life - one that triggered the desire to read more middle grade. I’m pleased to be interviewing author Melanie Conklin today. ![]()
