Blog Tour: Everything Else in the Universe by Tracy Holczer
Hello, Tracy Holczer! I’m so happy
you’ve returned to Watch. Connect. Read. to celebrate Everything Else in the Universe. What are three things we should
know about Lucia Mercedes Evangeline Rossi?
Tracy: Lucia Mercedes Evangeline
Rossi is most definitely not a superstitious person.
She is a practical person, an
orderly person, a thinker of thoughts, just like her father.
Right up until she meets Milo
and his dragonflies.
What planted the seed for Everything Else in the Universe?
Tracy: I come from a very large, very
loving Italian family. I also grew up with a disabled father, both mentally and
physically. I threw all that into the pot and Lucy popped out.
What is the best thing about
writing middle-grade fiction?
Tracy: Oh, boy. It's very personal
for me. Each book is a communication with my younger self. A healing. I take
the circumstances I lived through and turn them around to give myself a better
ending. It's this hope and healing I most love sharing with my readers.
Please finish these sentence
starters:
Story is a labyrinth, a kaleidoscope, a
journey into your deepest self, and a way back out again.
Mr. Schu, you should have
asked me what it was like growing up in
an Italian family! Now, you'll have to read the book to find out. Safe to say
there were lots of meatballs, camping trips and family parties. Not to mention
shouting, terrible jokes and learning how to play a good game of Thirty One. Everything Else in the Universe is an
ode to my loving family, and I hope readers enjoy!
