In case you didn’t know, Mrs. Gosk, the third grade teacher in MEMOIRS OF AN IMAGINARY FRIEND, is a real person. I’ve worked with her for the past fifteen years, and when I started my teaching career, she served as my mentor.
When it came time to choose the best teacher possible for Max and Budo, I couldn’t help but use Mrs. Gosk.
She is essentially a non-fictional character in a fictional story.
Mrs. Gosk and I recorded an interview that appears at the end of the audiobook, but in case you didn’t listen to the book and wanted to hear a small portion of the interview, it’s available here.
If you want to hear the interview in its entirety, you’ll have to buy the audiobook.
