About this author

I've always been drawn to the mysterious “other worlds” that we inhabit as children: the invisible secret worlds adults never seem to notice. Much of my childhood in upstate New York was spent immersed in books (the library around the corner was my second home) and tramping around the neighborhood thinking up magical tales. I wrote my first story at age seven about a small girl and a dragon—and I’ve never stopped writing since.

Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Intriguing premise but ultimately disappointing. The angels seem to be more of a plot device than anything else. “Angelology” by Danielle Trussoni had a far greater impact on me.
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
As always, Riordan is a masterful storyteller. This is a story about two very different siblings with mysterious connections to ancient Egypt, gods & goddesses, and oh yeah, they have to save the world. There's something here for everyone: nonsto...more

Despite the tepid review of The Emerald Atlas by The New York Times, I really loved this book and its three young characters, Kate, Michael and Emma. A fast-paced adventure involving time travel, magic, wizards, dwarves, monsters and a wild search fo...more
