About this author

I was born and raised in Wichita Kansas. I love writing, reading, my pugs, my school kiddos and my hubby. I like to listen to Rock and Roll old or new and read just about anything YA although I'm still working on getting into the paranormal.

When I am writing I just can't wait to see whats going to happen next! If you do not like my characters do not blame me, blame them! They have a mind of their own! Known for the roller coaster ride I take readers on! Happy Reading!


Hello!

I thought I would share a piece of myself with you today in hope that you can gain some confidence in some aspect of your own life. I have been told my several professionals that I have Visual Dyslexia. I write this to say: do not let anything get in your way of the things you love to do.

“What's cheaper than a gallon of gas? An ebook. Save a dollar, stay home and read!”
Shandy L. Kurth

“I like to read and write because it is the ONLY thing that takes my mind off of the real world and my spinning worries. It is a time I can be free of anxiety, worry, and stress. When my life gets hectic I HAVE to read and write or I'll drown.”
Shandy L. Kurth

“...ending a book with a sequel in such a way that the reader still has faith in the characters and in the writer. That's finesse.”

“Talent is helpful in writing, but guts are absolutely necessary.”

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.”

I suppose, I should say the number of pages... in rereading my comment, I fear it looked like you didn't put the numbers in your actual books, haha!

Laura You added the page numbers to your books, yay! I'm SURE I'm not the only crazy person that that bothered. :D

Hello :) I'm not sure if I ever saw this comment originally! Hope you've made some connections on Goodreads. Are you a writer?


Shandy Kurth Just saw this for some reason! Bummer! Was it slow? I remember it was long but if it was slow I might not have really noticed because I listened to it on audio in the car so slowness in a book is less agrivating when You are not taking extra time out of your day to read it. DANG. :/


message 2: by Laura

Laura Well, Shandy, I gave up on reading Prince of Thieves... :( I started it and it was ok, but I just wasn't pulled in you know? Which is sad because the movie was awesome, so I'm sure the book is good as well. But, I have so much school stuff to do, not to mention other books I want to read, that I just kept putting it aside. SO, I took it back to the library today. :/
