It was a pleasure spending time with Jeff Weeks, host of a PBS television program. We discussed my book and how important its themes of empathy, compassion, and understanding are in today's world. We also discussed my book's illustrator, Katya Royz, and her grandfather, Efim Royz, a Holocaust survivor. I was so touched when Katya told me about her grandfather's story that I included him in the Afterword of my book.

I had such fun speaking with Jen Milius on her podcast, TufFish. We discussed my children’s book and the upcoming historical fiction novel, co-written with Steve Hardiman and set during the Vietnam War era. Here's what Jen wrote about our discussion:
“Multi-genre author Pat Black-Gould and I talked about the pivot she did from writing and publishing a children’s book to her first historical fiction adult novel. To add to this shift, Pat shared how she worked with her co-author for the novel, especially since she had 80,000 words for their working draft. The details she shared on researching for the book as well as co-authoring a fictional piece will inspire you to take your manuscript to the next level."
I enjoyed spending time with David Edward on his podcast called Focusing on Writing where I spoke about my children’s book. David hosts writers on his YouTube channel, Frequency99. He is also a best-selling author who has published books in several genres, and he has a Ph.D. in Economics. On top of that, David served as a Special Agent in the U.S. Army and is a veteran of multiple overseas combat tours. He has such a fascinating background that I wanted to interview him!
