Tanita Davis, author by day, blogger by night (or is it the other way around?), and always-champion-of-YA-books&#8212;interviewed over at <em>Jama Rattigan&#8217;s Alphabet Soup<\/em>. That Jama knows how to do her interviews, and it opens with the loveliest photo of Tanita that you just have to see. Jama posted this on Monday, I think it was, and I sat my wee girls down with some watercolors and paintbrushes and told &#8217;em to go crazy &#8212; just so I could read that interview without interruption. I didn&#8217;t even turn my head away from the computer monitor as they painted the kitchen table. <\/p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"http:\/\/jamarattigan.livejournal.com\/162191.html\"><strong>go see<\/strong><\/a>.
