Two of my critique partners live in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I’m terrible at short summaries of my stories, but I like this one-sentence offering from WorldCat: “When seventeen-year-old Willemina Hammond fakes credentials to get a teaching position at a school for Cherokee girls in nineteenth-century Oklahoma, she is haunted by the ghost of a drowned student.” How did the idea come to you? Her musings were nothing short of captivating: Can you give us a summary of “The Revenant?“ Over the past couple of weeks, I had the privilege of interviewing Sonia and was transported back in time listening to her talk about her forthcoming YA paranormal historical novel “The Revenant” (Knopf) due out June 14th, 2011. A former high school English teacher, she now writes full time in Oklahoma. Sonia Gensler grew up in a small Tennessee town and spent her early adulthood collecting degrees from various Midwestern universities.
