    Q & A with Jodi Lynn Anderson

    Jodi Lynn Anderson began her career as an editor at HarperCollins and 17th Street Productions, but now devotes her energy to writing YA and middle grade novels that celebrate the magic of real life. Among her published works are the May Bird and Peaches trilogies, as well as many standalone novels, including My Diary from the End of the World, The Vanishing Season, andTiger Lily.

    Roger Sutton: What are you doing in Senegal?

    Jodi Lynn Anderson: My husband works for USAID, and he’s with the U.S. embassy here. He works on democracy and governance stuff. He’ll be traveling a lot around West Africa, and we’ll be based in Dakar. We moved here about three weeks ago; we’re settling in and figuring everything out.

    RS: Have you done this kind of traveling before?

    JLA: Not with my family. We have two kids, and this is the first time my husband and I have done this together. But I grew up overseas. My dad’s job moved us around a lot, so I’m used to the expat life. I haven’t experienced it since I was a teenager, and it’s bringing back a lot of memories. I’m really happy we’re doing i
