Episode Four :: Caroline Starr Rose

by eringoodman on February 16, 2012

I have had the pleasure of communicating with Caroline Starr Rose via blog comments and e-mail exchanges for several years, but to finally get to speak with her was a dream come true.

Caroline’s first novel, May B., which is written in gorgeous flowing verse, was released last month and in this episode of Behind the Blog Caroline and I talk writing, mothering, perseverance and following our dreams — and much, much more!

This show was recorded in January, 2012 and is just over 40 minutes long.

Caroline Starr Rose spent her childhood in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and New Mexico, camping at the Red Sea in one and eating red chile in the other. As a girl, she danced ballet, raced through books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and put on magic shows in a homemade cape. She has taught social studies and English, and worked to instill in her students a passion for books, an enthusiasm for experimenting with words, and a curiosity about the past.

She lives in New Mexico with her husband and two sons.

I truly don’t remember how I first connected with Nicola of Which Name?  but what I do remember is feeling an instant connection to her and her family.

In this podcast Nicola and I talk budgeting, birthday parties, privacy and photo permission. (And so much more.)
