Megan McDonald

"Sometimes I think I am Judy Moody," says Megan McDonald, author of the Judy Moody series, the Stink series, and THE SISTERS CLUB. "I'm certainly moody, like she is. Judy has a strong voice and always speaks up for herself. I like that."

For Megan McDonald, being able to speak up for herself wasn't always easy. She grew up as the youngest of five sisters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her father, an ironworker, was known to his coworkers as "Little Johnny the Storyteller." Every evening at dinner the McDonalds would gather to talk and tell stories, but Megan McDonald was barely able to get a word in edgewise. "I'm told I began to stutter," she says, leading her mother to give her a notebook so she could start "writing things down."

Cora Crane

Hi there! I'm Cora, a debut sweet monster romance writer (THE ORC AND THE INNKEEPER available now!). My childhood was spent with my nose endlessly tucked into a book, usually a high fantasy of some sort or another. So perhaps it's not a surprise that I'm now spending my days dreaming up cozy fantasy towns and magical monsters!

When I'm not working on my next story, you can usually find me with a coffee in hand, either in a big mug while I re-read my favorite fantasy books for the millionth time, or in my trusty to-go mug as I go for a walk (preferably near water!)

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I love writing them.
