Interview with Author – Michelle Phinney-Smith @michellephsmith
Author Bio: The first thing I tell people is that I read the dictionary when I was five years old. That’s usually enough to surmise who really wants to talk to me. Smart people immediately ask for definitions of obscure words, most people just say “wow, that’s really weird.” Yes, it is really weird. I read the phonebook too. I started writing when I was about six, once I figured out that I could string words together that people would read. I won a book competition in sixth grade, but … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Michelle Phinney-Smith @michellephsmith

Billy Scarlet by Savannah and Zeke Parker @Billy_Scarlet
“I can feel it in the wind,” he whispered. “What,” I asked. It always made the hair on my arms prickle when he talked like that. “Twelve and fifteen,” He muttered. “That’s twenty seven.” I nodded, but I was terribly confused as to what he meant. “It’s about to begin.” Young Billy Scarlet never knew what her life was about. She was the bastard child of a governor’s daughter and a pirate, but all through her childhood she felt that there was something more to who she was. Having … [Read more...] about Billy Scarlet by Savannah and Zeke Parker @Billy_Scarlet
