In three weeks we’re running a blog tour for The Year the Swallows Came Early, by Kathryn Fitzmaurice.
I’m thrilled to have this author on the tour–I liked her story and characters a lot. And then I really liked the story behind the story, that I read today. Here is an article telling a little about Kathryn’s road to publication.
Enjoy!

I am really, really enjoying this book. It is a beautiful piece of “children’s” literature, which in many ways reminds me of “Walk Two Moons.” I love books that teach us, or help us examine our hearts, like this one does.

I’m glad you like it, Bellezza. I do try to pick quality books for the tour.
I’m excited about the tour coming up. Wonder what kind of recipes we’ll get over at Maw’s Book Blog. Hmmm Groovy will dish us up something good, I’m sure.

oops. I meant Maw Books Blog. I always say that wrong in my head and this time out of the fullness of the head, the fingers typed.
