I’m happy to have author and world traveler, Elysabeth Elderling, visiting this week.

Thanks for having me.

How did you get interested in geography and traveling?

I was raised in a military family so we moved around. I think it was a great experience to be able to see different countries in the world.

Has it helped you in your writing?

Yes, I’ve put my experiences to work in the Junior Geography Detective Squad’s 50-state mystery trivia series.

I enjoy geography, too. Can you tell us more about this trivia series?

The series made its debut in summer 2008 with State of Wilderness. The Junior Geography Detective Squad will continue to put their mystery-solving talents to work in each state, challenging young readers on their knowledge of the nation’s geography and interesting facts about each state.
