Author has written 47 stories for Humor, Fantasy, School, General, Life, Song, Friendship, Nature, and Love.

Yeah, I chopped off all that random crud that was on my profile. Maybe it was because I read a book on subtlety and unity in writing. I'll keep things book-centered from now on.

Books I Recommend:

-The Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan (Please read this. Your age, gender, and genre preferences don't matter. Please read this.)

-Dormia and World's End by Peter Kujawinski and Jake Halpern

-Guardians of Ga'Hoole and Wolves of the Beyond by Katharyn Lasky, but don't use them as a model for your writing

-Dragon Slippers and companions by Jessica Day George

-The Warriors series by Erin Hunter (but only if you can handle TERRIBLE endings!!!!!)

-Anything by Brian Jaques

-Savvy and Scumble by Ingrid Law

-The Mysterious Benedict Society and companions by Trenton Lee Stewart

-Nightshade City and The White Assassin by Hilary Wagner (I especially recommend these!)

-The Secret series by Pseudonymous Bosch

-Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, may he rest in peace

Books I Don't Recommend:

-Swear to Howdy by Wendelin van Draanen. This book almost made me throw up.

-Dogsong by Gary Paulsen. Same as Swear to Howdy.

-Mick Harte Was Here by Barbara Park, unless you like to bawl like heck.

-The Lottery Rose by an author I don't remember, unless you like tragic endings.

-The Pigman by another author I don't remember. Soooo depressing...
