I don't consider myself to be a "normal" writer. Unlike most writers, I didn't have a clue that I even wanted to write until I was almost 30. I wasn't exactly a total slacker in school, but I was definitely a reluctant reader. I only read what I had to. I didn't see any reason to read when I could dream. I lived to daydream--which is why I was such a mediocre student. Then, when I was 26 years old, my sister got me started reading Victoria Holt novels, and I began to realize that what my teachers had always said was true, Reading Is Fun! The more I read, the more I daydreamed, making up stories in my head. Finally I decided to just do it, write books. Now, here I am, fifteen years later (if you've been keeping up with the math you will probably figure out that I am ancient) publishing my first novel for young adults. I'm sure that since I never learned to stop daydreaming, I'll never stop writing.

Hi Mrs. Boutin! This is Devyn Devore and Bethany Roubion. We both read as much of your book that we could and we just can't wait to get our OWN copy. We hope and believe that you were born to write. You're going to go VERY far in writing.
LOTS-OF-LOVE,
Devyn and Bethany
People should read this.
