Winter town by stephen emond6/30/2023 One of them was I have a friend at work, Takara, who is a black girl, and she read my book Wintertown. What was your inspiration for the story of Walter and Naomi, and then Walter’s dad?Įmond: If I were to say what was the genesis for writing this book, there were a lot of things that kind of led to it. Parker: So let’s talk about Bright Lights, Dark Nights. Parker: Keep Austin Weird, have you heard of that?Įmond: (Laughing) Yeah, I have heard that. Nothing was brand name chain stores or anything like that. I got to experience downtown through an Uber, and I got a whole history tour of Austin, and they have a lot of funky little restaurants, and everything was cool. They took me to the wrong hotel, so I went downtown. Parker: How do you like Austin, and what’s been your favorite thing here so far?Įmond: It’s a cool city. This post comes from BookPeople Teen Press Corps member Parker.
