We are excited to be joined by Lisa Greenwald to discuss her latest novel, KALE, MY EX, AND OTHER THINGS TO TOSS IN A BLENDER.
Lisa, what's your writing ritual like? Do you listen to music? Work at home or at a coffee shop or the library, etc?
I actually love to write in hotel lobbies. I love the gentle music, the fabulous people watching, the free wifi. It's the perfect place for me. And I usually treat myself to a decadent hotel lunch.
What advice would you most like to pass along to other writers?
Keep writing! Read as much as you can. Try not to get discouraged or spend too much time on social media comparing yourself to other writers (easier said than done!)
What are you working on now?
I'm working on 12 BEFORE 13 (a follow up to my August release 11 BEFORE 12) and also a series of middle grade books that are written entirely in text messages, emails, letters to self, poems and class handouts.

Soon both plans have morphed into something so much bigger. Add some kale to a snow cone and they've got the hottest smoothie in town . . . and more money than they could have imagined.
