James Halat, Author of The Story of Teddy and Eddie
When and why did you begin writing? I started writing in the fifth grade. I was fortunate enough to have a teacher who read books to us like we were first graders, and then she asked us to write our own stories to read to the class. This is where I learned that my words…
