T.L. McCoy: How a Granddaughter's Dravet Syndrome Diagnosis Inspired a Fantasy Hero

The incredible T.L. McCoy joins me to discuss her new inclusive middle-grade fantasy book, Delilah Versus the Ghastly Grimm. T.L. shares the powerful story of writing the book for her granddaughter, Delilah, who lives with Dravet Syndrome—a rare disorder that causes catastrophic seizures. She explains how Delilah's "powers are rooted in her disability" to empower children and shift the narrative around being different. T.L. also opens up about her own journey of career reinvention, going from a criminal justice professor to a nurse and finally an author.
