Hi there, I'm Lily! I'm a children's/middle grade writer, Christian, and homeschool grad.
Buy books on Amazon
I grew up reading a huge stack of middle grade books, especially the Newberry Award Winners (my mom wanted all of us kids to be well read). Fun, meaningful stories are what I love as a reader, and aim for as an author. I'd say the biggest author who influenced me in that direction was Elizabeth George Speare.
Although I started writing middle-grade fantasy, I'm hoping to branch out and try other middle grade/children's genres like historical fiction, dystopian, and contemporary. Maybe someday I'll even try a bit of YA (who knows, we'll see!)
I love writing for kids and my hope as a writer is that my stories will inspire them, ignite their imagination, and -
