A Shout Out To My Favorite Authors

Hey there, everyone! This is my shout-out to the authors who have impacted both me and my writing!

I don't just list you because you're my friend (although your fantastic friendship is a very good reason). I list you because your books are always so full of thought and encourage me to do the same in mine. You've walked with me through this crazy thing called writing. Thanks for everything!

The creativity in your books always astounds me--as well as the way they make me think about my world in a whole new light. You have turned the fire of my passion for young adult fiction into a blaze, and opened my mind to so many possibilities. Thanks so much!

I found Roseanna M. White's books as I was developing my reading tastes. You showed me that historical fiction doesn't have to be a sluggish romance in a log cabin. It can be an adventure, too. And you showed me that faith doesn't have to skitter away from the novel page. It can be bold. Thank you!
