But for now, she\u2019s stuck living on a cotton plantation with her grandparents Papa and Ma Pearl, her brother Fred Lee, and her not-so-nice cousin Queen. When a fourteen-year-old Chicago boy named Emmett Till is murdered in nearby Money, Mississippi, Rose is suddenly faced with the opportunity of a lifetime\u2014an offer to move up north. But will she go?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><br \/>\nWhat inspired you to write this story and\/or these characters?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a child, I rarely played with other children. Instead, I lurked in the background among the grown-ups and indulged myself in the stories they told. From these stories grew a desire to someday write a book that sort of reflected my family\u2019s life in the Mississippi Delta. The story is set in 1955 because I wanted to tie in the Emmett Till story and the spark of the Civil Rights Movement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Everyone says writing is a process. Could you share a little about your writing and\/or research process?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First off, I DO NOT WRITE EVERY DAY. At least not fiction. I do journal every day, however. I basically aim for a date to complete a first draft, determine how much writing I need to do to in order to get me to that date, then I go for it. I can write ANYWHERE, so this helps in getting a first draft down without having to have a set writing time\/place.<\/p>\n<p>As far as research, the Internet is my friend. But I do purchase a few books for information that I can\u2019t find on the Web. I also read a TON of books that are similar to what I\u2019m writing. On another note, I like to read two types of books while I\u2019m writing: One with \u201cbeautiful\u201d writing, and the other with not-so-beautiful writing. The former gives me something to aspire to. The latter shows me what to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>We know no writer is created in a vacuum. Could you tell the readers about a teacher or a librarian who had an effect on your writing life?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My college professors had a huge impact on my writing life. I was an overachiever who worked very hard to get all A\u2019s, and the hardest A\u2019s came from writing composition classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What makes your book a good pick for use in a classroom? Is there any particular way you\u2019d like to see teachers use it with young readers\/teens?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My seventeen-year-old daughter often speaks of how much she loved ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY by Mildred D. Taylor, COPPER SUN by Sharon Draper, and ONE CRAZY SUMMER by Rita Williams Garcia as classroom reads during middle school. Like these books about African-American history, I hope that MIDNIGHT WITHOUT A MOON will be a book that is required reading in middle schools and that it will be a book that young readers are still talking about even at age seventeen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>I\u2019m a little dog obsessed here at www.patriciabaileyauthor.com.
