Author Insight

Most writer's write characters who read

Have you ever noticed this? There is always at least one character who loves to read or loves to write in any YA book. Often in adult books too. I think the author's love of reading can't help but eek out into this character trait. It's such a high value for us. True confession: When I was young I didn't like to read. My best friend, Julia, introduced me to horse books and I was SOLD! Then I discovered the Box Car Mysteries and you couldn't stop me. So....share a book with a friend. You might start a life long love of reading.

Book Excerpt

Bending Willow

The hardest part was choosing only one book to bring along. She knew it was wrong to take a library book with her but she just couldn’t leave it behind. She’d just started A Wrinkle in Time and loved the character Meg. She quickly stuffed the book into her backpack before she could change her mind then put one in for Mia, Amelia Bedelia, Mia’s favorite.
