the Author:
Since elementary
school, I remember being in love with words. Spelling them, writing them,
reading them…I even hang them up around my house. I think I owe my love
of language to my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Templeton. I can
recall sitting around in a circle in that old, red-brick school,
listening to her read aloud Greek mythology. The oxymoron there was
that she was the most prim and proper teacher I ever knew, right down
to the white buttoned up blouse held together at the collar with a cameo
pin. The way she read made words come alive.
I had
written a few things here and there throughout my life. I used to think
I’d be good at children’s books, and it wasn’t a far stretch since I worked
with children every day and knew what they liked. But then I read the
series by Stephenie Meyer, maybe you’ve heard of it…Twilight. This was
the type of story I knew I had to write. Teenagers were my
audience. It helped I had one at home to learn from.
My idea
didn’t come in a dream. No, I wasn’t that fortunate. It happened
through research. And lots of it. The only criteria I had was that
I wanted my story to be different from everything else out there. I
wanted my story to stand out. No vampires or werewolves. No witches
or wizards. Unicorns were my choice. And I think the story that
unfolded is definitely unique.
