One of our favorite guests, Devra Robaitelle, is back to tell us about her first YA title The Henge. "Away to the north of the Noble Village of the Arts there is, buried in a jade lake at the bottom of a quarry, a stone with magical properties—a stone that sings." Is it a surprise that a multi talented artist like Devra who toured singing with some of music's most legendary performers would create a world where a rock can sing? It also should come as no surprise that this is a wonderfully entertaining conversation.
