![]() ![]() The first book I remember reading on my own was Beverly Cleary’s Socks. Quick lightning round! Tell us the first book you ever remember reading, the one that made you want to become an author, and one that you can’t stop thinking about! I also tried to write a script for Growing Pains a few years later (I never heard back) and kept writing stories and poems whenever I could. She asked the local newspapers to publish my work. My Aunt Stella, who was in her eighties, took such an interest in my writing. My cousin was a teacher, and she Xeroxed a big stack for me, which I distributed to relatives. ![]() I remember writing (and illustrating!) a poem when I was seven years old called “Spring,” and I can still recite most of it. When did you first discover your love for writing? It was a Read with Jenna Bonus Pick, and I’m excited to have my second novel, A Quiet Life, coming out now. ![]() My first novel, A Little Hope, came out last November. I have been writing for many, many years, so finally getting my books published by Scribner has been a dream come true. I live with my family in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, my favorite place in the world. As a quick introduction, I’m a dad, a writer, and a college professor (I teach English and psychology). Thank you so much for interviewing me-I’m a big fan. Hi, Ethan! Can you tell our readers a bit about yourself? From Ethan Joella, the author of A Little Hope, comes A Quiet Life, an enormously powerful and life-affirming novel about three individuals whose lives intersect in unforeseen ways. ![]()
