The Party Begins!
Enter today for a chance to win a signed copy of Best Friends Playbook!
And for fun, tell me, do you/did you have a particular book that really inspired you when you were a kid? What was the book, and why did it inspire you?
I’m not sure if there’s one book that particularly inspired me, other than the ones I wrote ;-), but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the book that got me reading. For a long time, it was my go-to template for story-writing. I’m pretty sure I thought all fantasy was portal fantasy until I was in junior high . . .

Register for the live event Monday December 13 at 6:30pm MST for another chance to win!
Looking forward to joining your book launch, virtually!

Was it this series? https://www.rainbowresource.com/category/5864/Melendy-Family-Series.html If so, it looks like one I’d enjoy, too! Thanks for sharing.
