For picture books, I love Brian Lies. I love his sense of humor and the characters in his books are bats. I love bats, I think they’re very misunderstood. If you’d like, check out his website: www.brianlies.com
For middle grade, I adore Lynda Mullaly Hunt. She writes from the heart, her characters have so much courage, and so does she. If you haven’t already, check out her website at: www.lyndamullalyhunt.com
And finally, my young adult author mentor has always been Laurie Halse Anderson. I was hooked the minute I read Speak. I love her ‘voice’, and you might, too. Her website is: www.lauriehalseanderson.com
There are so many great authors out there, my TBR pile gets higher every year…
