I’d say either J.R.R. Tolkien, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or Andrew Clements. Oh, or Beverly Cleary (who, surprisingly, I think is still alive). She is in her hundreds.

@kathleenramm, I’ve just been listening to the Narnia radio dramas by Focus on the Family again! They are so well done!

World War One is a great era! I like whatever era the Waltons were in (thirties or forties) and 1800s. I usually write in present day, though.

Thanks for the kind comment! I am publishing it as an ebook on Amazon. It took about two years to write.

Some of the best musical theatre songs are from Annie (though…[Read more]

I think I started writing when I was three or four, before I could really put the words down myself. 🙂 I dictated to my mom.

I’ve never published a book so this is new to me XD. I write for educational fiction for a school curriculum, and I focus on writing middle-school age stories. I sent one version of my first chapter of my book to a famous author, Andrew Clements, who, sadly, died shortly after. He replied before he died though and said the chapter made him want t…[Read more]

Lord of the Rings is the best! I love it!

That is so cool! I also like to write books for kids. I am publishing one on Amazon called Memory Lane Was Moved. It will be available on the 15th, and it will be free for the first five days!

Where are you publishing your book?
