Congrats to everyone listed! :)
Aw, thanks you guys!
Woohoo, Melissa! That's fantastic! Those are all terrific blogs.
Several of those authors have been popular at my house through the years -- particularly Tamora Pierce -- I even got to take my oldest daughter to see Tamora speak once. And her books are dog-eared favorites. Stephanie Meyer -- well, all THREE girls have all the books! And my oldest is a big blog reader. Since that daughter is really a wonderful writer, I recently sent her the link to a teen writer's own blog. Selene Cardenas has written "Sea Clearwater," which is a nice YA fantasy book, filled with creatures of her design and invention. Nice book, and with messages that are good for teens to hear, such as they have great inner strength that they should tap.
(Plus, I'm going to send her this link, so she can really easily find author blogs!)
Thanks, Liz!
Yay Melissa! Those teens know good stuff when they read it.
Congrats!
