We are so excited to have you here, Miss Calvin. Thank you for answering some questions and for signing our customers books.
No problem. I love meeting the people who read my books.
So how did you think of the idea for this book?
About 4 years ago, I was taking my dog for a walk. When I saw a very beautiful bird, I started thinking about birds and decided to read about them at the library. I became very interested in birds, and that's how I decided to create the main character in my book. He is a scientist who studies birds.
How long did it take you to write the book?
I wrote the book in about 2 years. I only spent 3 months thinking of the story, but it took much longer to write it.
Do you ever worry you won't be able to think of another idea for a book?
All the time, but I always think of more ideas as soon as I finish with the book I'm writing. Reading the newspaper helps me think of ideas. Taking long showers also helps me think of ideas.
