NADINE BRANDES has been known to do wild things (like ride a sleeper train across Russia) in the name of book research. She is the 4-time Carol Award-winning author of seven Young Adult novels (ROMANOV, FAWKES, WISHTRESS, THE NIGHTMARE VIRUS, and The Out of Time Series.) While inventing worlds is fun, she is most passionate about Jesus, motherhood, and creating with the Creator. Nadine and her husband strive to live out Psalm 34:3 with their four exuberant children.

This is always my first piece of advice for anyone serious about writing. You will learn so much and the professionals can always teach you something. There isn't an author I know who didn't have his/her mind blown from their first conference. Sometimes it takes a week or two (or five or ten) of recovery after the first conference, but if you push through, your writing will be that much better!(less)

“Why won't you die?"
"because I have a story I was meant to live. And not even you can unwrite it.”
Nadine Brandes, Romanov

“Ribbons! Long ones, short ones, ones for every mood." He does a little dance to the singsong rhythm. "Thin ones, thick ones, and ones to tie your shoes!”
Nadine Brandes, A Time to Die

“You shouldn’t be placing hope in our lives, Parvin. That’s my point. I don’t know the answers of the future, but your confidence and hope need to be in God.”
