Interview With Marcus Sedgwick

I was excited to have been asked by Macmillan if I wanted to interview British author, Marcus Sedgwick, when he came to DC's Politics and Prose bookstore for his latest release, She Is Not Invisible. I'll be honest, I hadn't really heard of any of his books but I looked up the descriptions of that book and Midwinterblood and they sounded interesting, so I agreed. I am so glad I did. I read both Midwinterblood and She Is Not Invisible right before having met him and they were very interesting reads.

The interview is about thirty minutes long so I split it up in to two pieces so you can listen to them separately if you'd like. A warning, at times the audio is very quiet and you may have to turn the volume up to hear everything. This interview was done in the bookstore so there was background noise we couldn't avoid but we tried out best. You don't want to miss any of this interview as listening to Marcus talk is just amazing (accents are fabulous to listen to).
