Crystal kindly invited me to be one of her earliest guest blogs, and I contributed a post about my experiences of writing about another culture as an outsider in my 2009 YA novel GRINGOLANDIA, and as an insider in my recently-published novel ROGUE. It's one of the guest posts of which I'm the proudest: ting-on-the-autism-spectrum/

The blog addresses a wide range of genres and aspects of diversity, and you should definitely check it out.
