Interview with author Margaretta James by Tiffany Turner from Indie Children’s Authors Connection:

Got someone in the family with tattoos? Well, here is a great gift idea! Plus, it’s a great way to share something that is becoming more of a passed down tradition. I was able to interview Margaretta James, the author of the book “Mummy and Daddy Have Matching Tattoos”. Margaretta is a teacher and writer. She likes to focus her writing on contemporary family issues. I had a chance to sit down and talk with her about her memories of reading as a child, subjects should would like to explore in her writing, and what writing means to her.

  • What is your favorite memory from reading as a child?

Margaretta James: I loved it when my mother would spend all afternoon reading traditional tales to us.

  • What subjects would you like to write about in future projects?

Margaretta James: I am currently working on my novel set in the Australian outback. It is slowly taking shape; however, I keep getting new ideas for children’s picture books!

  • What is writing to you in one sentence?

Margaretta James: Writing is a compulsion and a joy. I become so immersed that days fly by!

Thomas Levitt – Free Historical Romance

Thomas A Levitt was not quite five years old in September of 1951–the height of the McCarthy red scare–when his parents appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee and refused to answer questions about their political affiliations.

The Wire Recorder by Thomas A Levitt

The Wire Recorder by Thomas A LevittSophie Hearn grows up hearing about the House Un-American Activities Committee’s 1951 campaign to root out Communists in the film industry. Her father’s impassioned testimony in defense of the First Amendment—and his refusal to answer questions about his political associations—leave him blacklisted for years, destroying his promising screenwriting career and putting his family on the edge of financial ruin. Unsurprisingly, his daughter becomes politically aware at an early age.

The shadow of the blacklist follows Sophie to college and then into adulthood, affecting her politics, her career ambitions and her relationships. But it’s not until she reunites with Steve Elwood, a long-lost childhood friend, that she’s forced to face the full impact of her family’s past.

A powerful story about coming of age in California in the mid-twentieth century, The Wire Recorder explores how political paranoia, when allowed to spiral out of control, can leave a toxic residue that lasts for generations.

About the author, Thomas A Levitt:

The Wire Recorder by Thomas A LevittThomas A Levitt was not quite five years old in September of 1951–the height of the McCarthy red scare–when his parents, Alfred and Helen Levitt, both appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee and refused to answer questions about their political affiliations. As a result of their courageous stand, Tom grew up in the shadow of the infamous Hollywood blacklist and has many stories to tell about that experience.

Tom caught the writing bug early on from his parents, who encouraged his writing but were tough mentors who held his work to rigorous standards. Aware of the odds against making a living writing, Tom initially took up teaching as a “day job,” but it turned into a rewarding 33-year career as he taught elementary, middle, junior high and high school in some of Los Angeles’ toughest neighborhoods.

After retiring in 2008, he began working seriously on the novel he’d conceived decades earlier based loosely on his and his parents’ experiences before, during and after the blacklist, and into which he was now able to incorporate his teaching experiences as well. In the summer of 2017, at age 70, Tom finally completed his historical romance–The Wire Recorder–which stands as his first piece of published work.

Oh, yes – and she has a very special place in her heart for wolves…

About the author, Remy Agee:

Remy AgeeCalled Grandma, Gam and Grammy Hammy (aka Remy Agee), I love reading and creating books.

I’ve enjoyed sharing tips for parents and grandparents, when writing professionally on early childhood topics. Presenting at local, state and national conferences for early childhood professionals and parents – on school readiness and the many ways parents, grandparents and caregivers can provide early learning experiences – has been a wonderful opportunity.

These days, I continue to learn from the best sources -my grandchildren! I’ve had an incredible opportunity to continue to learn – and teach – by helping homeschool one of my grandsons. Starting our third year of homeschool, we continue to explore many fascinating ideas…including topics that never were on my radar. And, we’re working as co-authors on several book series.

Children learn so much through reading, whether on their own or with an adult. Reading books allows a child to imagine what the characters, scenes and actions look and sound like.
Imagination really is the ‘engine of ideas’, because books can help children imagine that they can be any place and any time in the entire universe. I love that!

As Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand, stimulating progress.”
