“I’m a teen at heart,” declares Arthur Slade. Naturally, it was a thrill to welcome the author, logging on from his home in Saskatchewan, to a TeenSRC chat that connected teens from across Canada.
Slade is immediately at ease in the online atmosphere, greeting users with a cheerful “Howdy” (and later “Yo”) and settling in to an exciting discussion.
First, to the interview question he must have heard a thousand times, “What inspires you to write?”, Slade’s quick comeback is, “My mortgage ba-dump.” The “haha”s subside, and he continues, “Really I always loved reading books so I wanted to create my own stories.”
“This is so cool,” says Martha Brooks as the TeenSRC online chat begins. “Cool” could certainly be the choice word to describe the opportunity to chat with the award-winning author. Brooks started writing in her late twenties, and is going strong at sixty-four.
“I just got a lifetime achievement award and it feels as if I’ve only just now learned how to write books,” she comments.
It’s clear that for Brooks, lifetime achievements go far beyond her novels. Throughout the chat, she shares her stories: some funny, some serious, all heartfelt accounts of experiences that have shaped her and her writing.
