On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Tiffany D. Jackson about her middle grade debut novel: BLOOD IN THE WATER.

This book is a can’t-put-it-down middle grade murder mystery set on Martha’s Vineyard that blends the beautiful location with rich Black history and the compelling subject matter that Tiffany is known for. 

Come listen as we talk about Tiffany’s journey through children’s literature and how she came to fill a niche in the young adult and middle grade thriller space, her thoughts on rejection and redirection, why she chose Martha’s Vineyard for the setting of the book and her hopes for readers of all ages. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
