Dayle Campbell Gaetz
No doubt about it, I've always loved books. When we were small, my parents always read to my sister and me at bedtime. My dad used a sleepy-yawny voice that I now realize was his attempt to make us fall asleep.

As the younger sister, I got so mad when it worked!
I read tons of books as a kid and on into my twenties and thirties.

I love to write, and began writing stories for kids at my favorite age, nine to twelve. Then I grew up a little to write teen books.

Beth Brower
Like many of my siblings, I would sneak out of bed, slip into the hallway, and pull my favorite books from the book closet. I read my way through the bottom shelf, then the next shelf up, and the shelf above that, until I could climb to the very top shelf, stacked two layers deep and two layers high, and read the titles of the classics. My desire to create stories grew as I was learning to read them.
