But, I can write anywhere, and I do: outdoors in our sheep field, in a coffee shop, in one of several lawn chairs I have set up in the woods behind our house. We built a new house ten years ago with an office in the front so that I could watch my children getting off the bus. How long have you had your space and how does it affect your creative process? I am a fiction writer for young people and I feel unbelievably lucky that I get to do what I have wanted to do since the sixth-grade. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your creative medium. Today Kim shares her writing spaces in her home in Rhode Island, where she tends to her family, her sheep, the cat, a new puppy, and her books, but not always in that order. Beholding Bee is one of my first encounters with magical realism and it definitely had me thinking long after the final page.
It’s a book I could easily have finished in a day, but I wanted to savor it, so I forced myself to only read a chapter each night. Kimberly’s other book Tending to Grace is a beautiful short and poetic read. My daughter and I’ve read The Wonder of Charlie Anne more than once, and we always tease each other with one of the reoccurring lines, “A proper lady…” If you haven’t read The Wonder of Charlie Anne, what are you waiting for? Head out to the bookstore or library and dive it. Today on Tuesday Tours I’m very excited to welcome Kimberly Newton Fusco, the author of three of my favorite books.
