Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Do it right the first time, or maybe the second or third. Q. Is there a book you love to reread? A. I can't keep up with all the books I haven't read and want to read, so I never read the same book twice. Q. Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers? A. Learn to accept criticism of your work; it's the only way to grow. Q. What comment do you hear most often from your readers? A. "You've turned me on to history!" I disliked history when I was young, and I'm happy when I can make it exciting for today's young readers. Q. Where did you go to high school and/or college? A. Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, where I majored in English Learn more about Carolyn Meyer
