 Frank Anjakos Frank Anjakos lives in the Wild West, where he avoids writing about anything Western. Upon graduation from college in Michigan he was unwilling to get a real job, and so went to law school at the University of Arizona, where he studied listlessly, overcome by the desert heat, and obtained a law degree in the usual amount of time. After recovering from the stifling law school style of writing, he returned to his true passion, fiction…both writing and living it. Coerced by his son Finn, he turned away from adult science fiction and began writing children’s books. Now, if he could just get his son to actually read one. |

 Pamela ChankoPamela Chanko has authored and co-authored a wide array of titles, both fiction and nonfiction, in prose and in verse, for audiences ranging from age three to older than they will likely admit. She has written on such diverse subjects as baby animals, new shoes, and civil rights, and also on various grades of paper. (Her soft cover books are longer, but the ones with the cardboard pages are best for chewing.) A native New Yorker, Pamela finds unexpected sources of inspiration in her previous lives as preschool teacher, singing waitress, street cart vendor, and voguing instructor (not really, as you can see from the picture she knows how to strike a pose) but definitely counts writing as her favorite career yet. She gets to show up in pajamas every day and enjoys the commute to her living room, which boasts a three-inch view of the East River and a fort under the desk for her two intractable but vigilant terriers. |

 L.L. EadieLinda Eadie resides in north Florida with her husband and her sixty-five pound Labradoodle–Tebow. She's obviously a graduate of the University of Florida where during the fall she thrives on a constant diet of Gator football and following that season–basketball. She received her degree in education which she put to good use teaching elementary, middle and high school. However, that was not her true course–writing young adults novels that bristle with attitude was. As a child she wrote stories instead of letters to her grandmothers, who of course believed she was amazingly talented and no doubt a child prodigy! Obviously, these were her first fans. |

 Laban Carrick HillLaban Carrick Hill's newest book America Dreaming: How Youth Changed America in the 60's recently won the 2007 Parenting Publications Gold Award. The New York Times Book Review wrote, "Excellent." Howard Zinn praised the cultural history as "a phenomenal piece of work, extensively researched and visually stimulating; an essential resource for children and adults of all ages." America Dreaming examines the legacy of the sixties, and how the events that took place then inform our lives today. Hill is the author of more than 25 books, including the 2004 National Book Award Finalist Harlem Stomp!: A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance, a book he researched for more than a decade. He was drawn to this era because the Harlem Renaissance seemed to embody Ralph Ellison’s sense that America could not be America without African Americans. Hill has also taught writing at Columbia University, Baruch College, and St. Michael’s College in Vermont. He is currently teaching at Pine Manor College Solstice MFA in Writing Program. In the fall of 2008, he was a visiting professor of creative writing at the University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana. He is also the co-founder of the Ghana Poetry Project, which was formed to promote a literary culture and to publish books of poetry in Ghana. In fall 2010, Hill's poem Dave the Potter will be published as a picture book with illustrations by acclaimed artist Bryan Collier. Also in 2010, his picture biography of DJ Kool Herc, the founder of Hip Hop, will be published by Roaring Brook Press. His most recent novel is A Brush with Napoleon, published by Watson Guptil in 2007. His young adult novel, Casa Azul, based on the Frida Kahlo painting Self Portrait (with Monkey and Hummingbird) was selected as a New York Public Library 2006 Book for the Teen Age. His poems have been included in the Contemporary Poetry of New England anthology and in numerous literary magazines, including Tar River Review and Denver Quarterly. He was one of the founding editors of American Letters & Commentary. His Reader’s Companion to Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections (SparkNotes) appeared in print in 2003. He has also written critical biographies for Scribners American Writers and British Writers series on J. M. Coetzee, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Jane Kenyon. www.labanhill.com www.ghanapoetryproject.com |

 Maurene J. HindsMaurene J. Hinds (aka Maurene Janiece) caught the writing bug early on; it took hold in second grade, when she had the entire class laughing while reading aloud a short story consisting of a beginning, middle, end, and bodily functions. She was also one of those weird kids who actually enjoyed research papers. (Anything related to math was, and still is, a completely different story.) In high school, she decided on an English major after becoming enthralled by Steinbeck’s portrayal of the turtle crossing the road in The Grapes of Wrath. She then spent several years trying not to write, which didn’t turn out so well, but provided great material for future fiction projects. (She eventually earned the degree after seven years as an undergrad.) In 2002, she completed a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Teens from Vermont College, and has been writing regularly ever since. She’s authored several nonfiction books and writes young adult fiction. Maurene also helps others work toward their creative and academic goals as a writing instructor. While not quite a Montana native, she comes fairly close (minus the early years and a few later on during her “misguided youth” phase), and wouldn’t live anywhere else, except maybe Hawaii. She spends time with her family, in front of the computer, in the mountains, and occasionally with a pair of sticks in hand turning yarn into something wearable. www.maurenejhinds.com |

 Kelly LightKelly Light was born in 1970 off exit 149 on the Garden State Parkway. She started drawing as soon as she could hold a crayon - cause fish sticks are kinda mushy. Saturday morning cartoons and Sunday morning funny pages left indelible marks on her as an artist. With a background in animation and ten years in cartoon merchandising as a character artist for every cartoon studio you can throw a pencil at... she's now busy creating her own characters who have their own stories to tell. The possibilities are as limitless as her imagination. |

 Jess Mowry Jess Mowry was born in 1960 in Mississippi and raised by his father in Oakland, California. Jess has been a truck driver and heavy equipment operator in Arizona, and engineer on a tugboat in Alaska as well as working on cargo airplanes. Returning to Oakland in 1988, he bought a used typewriter and began writing stories for kids at a local youth center. Today he is the author of twelve novels and two story collections. Among his novels are Way Past Cool, Six Out Seven, Babylon Boyz and Voodu Dawgz. His stories have also appeared in anthologies such as In The Tradition, Cornerstones, School Is Not Cool, Follow That Dream, I Believe In Water, Face Relations and Brotherman. Of his writing Mowry says: "After over thirty years of working with kids and raising four of my own, along with a few strays–none of whom are in prison or collecting welfare–not to mention almost twenty years of writing books and stories for and about kids, I've found that it's a lot easier for people to be 'pro-child' about some kids than it is for them to care about and champion 'other' kids. Almost all my stories and books are for and about black kids, who are not always cute and cuddly. My characters often spit, sweat and swear, as well as occasionally smoke or drink. Just like their real-world counterparts, some are 'overweight' and have no desire to be skinny, or may look 'too black,' or are otherwise unacceptable by superficial American values...including some African-American values. Like on-the-real kids, they often live in dirty, violent environments, and are forced into sometimes nasty lifestyles. And virtually no one writes books or stories about them–at least seldom in ways that don't exploit them, and/or don't glorify gangs, guns, drugs and violence. When I first began writing I wanted to write many different kinds of books: adventure novels, and stories about magic and ghosts. These were the kinds of books I grew up reading, though I often wondered why there were no black heroes such as ship captains or airplane pilots...no black Indiana Joneses, Hardy Boys or Hobbits." timoun.tripod.com |

 Jason RoerJason Roer found himself by luck or fate in the prestigious Toy Design program at FIT in New York City, where he decided it was simply better to remain a child and play with stuff. After graduation, Jason found a job with an eccentric businessman designing everything from cartoon characters to filming live events. It was under the auspices of this enigmatic man, that Jason recognized his true calling as a storyteller. Jason has now written and directed four short films, and written a feature screenplay. His latest short, Faceless, played at many festivals around the world, winning awards including Most Disturbing Film at the International Horror and SciFi Film Festival sponsored by Lionsgate Films. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was Jason's favorite book as far back as he can remember. It was this book that led Jason on most of his early creative exploits, and he can even remember writing a short story inspired by the insane lunacy of it while staying at his grandmother's apartment many years ago. To this day, that story remains unpublished, and rightly so. However it was this story that made him want to write a story that could in fact be published. Jason has now completed his first novel, The Kringle Khronicles Volume 1: The Legend of Winterdale. He is presently deep in the trenches writing Volume 2. All this, and he still has time to break his hand and ribs snowboarding, be a stay-at-home dad to amazing 22-month old, Jaden, and get Sting to play a role in one of his films! www.bjasonroer.com |

 Linda ZinnenLinda Zinnen has a couple of important early-school memories: kicking Gail Solle’s chair and mastering the left-handed finger snap during reading circle time; certainly the underest-achieving underachiever in the Albatross Group (nonreader’s only, thanks). By the time college came around she had the reading thing down pat and could also fake it in German. This enabled Z to study Political Philosophy at die Universität Münchin (which sounds better than the University of Munich), and was subsequently graduated from college knowing all the words to Nina Hagen’s Du hast mein Herz geklaut. Z now lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She is the author of The Truth about Rats, Rules & Seventh Grade (a Parent’s Choice Gold Medal), Holding at Third (IRA Reader’s Choice, Bank Street College’s Best Books), and The Dragons of Spratt, Ohio (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice). www.lindazinnen.com |
