CAMRYN GARRETT

AUTHOR OF FULL DISCLOSURE

Why did you become an author?

I've always loved books and I decided I wanted to write the types of stories I wanted to read. 

What are you reading right now?

Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. 

Have you ever been to the Bronx? If so, what's a favorite memory you have? If not, what do you know or think about the Bronx?

I've never been, but I really want to go! I know there are lots of Black and brown people in the Bronx, which is one of the main reasons why I want to go. I also know the Bronx is the birth place of hip-hop!
