In today’s
episode, my special guest and I talk about his writing and publishing journey.
College media instructor Karl W.
Beckstrand is the best-selling author/illustrator of twenty-seven
multicultural/multilingual books (65 e-books—reviews by Publisher’s Weekly,
Kirkus, The Horn Book, and School Library Journal). Raised in San Jose, California,
he has lived abroad, earned a B.A. in journalism, an M.A. in conflict
resolution, and a broadcast & film certificate. His western novel, To
Swallow the Earth, won a 2016 International Book Award. Beckstrand loves
volleyball and singing (in rock bands or choirs). His Y.A. stories, e-book
mysteries, biographies, Spanish/bilingual books, wordless and STEM books
feature diverse characters—and usually end with a twist. See: Amazon,
Apple/iBooks, Baker & Taylor, Barnes & Noble, Follett, Ingram, Target,
Walmart, and PremioBooks.com
