Need Your Questions: Q & A with Kathleen Ernst!

I absolutely love American Girl books, especially the Historical ones! I've always liked how each story digs deep into what life was like back then for girls just like us!

Have you ever wondered about the authors behind our favorite stories? How long it takes them to create an AG character or how they come up with some of the funny scenes?

I've been talking with Kathleen Ernst, author of the Caroline books and we thought it would be fun to do a Q & A interview for her to answer some of YOUR questions!

Comment below with a question for Miss Kathleen; about her books, writing, or about American Girl! I can't guarentee she can answer every question, but I'll choose some of your creative ones.

The last day to get your question in will be April 2nd. Kathleen and I can't wait to see what questions you ask! Have FUN! :)

Ps~Hop on over to Kathleen's Blog for awesome giveaways, behind-the-scenes of her books, and more!
