A L WicksA. L. Wicks is an artist, author, wife, and mother. She writes fantasy and real-to-life stories for middle-grade to young adult readers. She has been writing stories since just before she turned five years old. By the time she was six, she was askingher teachers to help her laminate hand-drawn covers which she bound to the pages by herself with staples or ties or other methods. Favorite early titles are "Honeysticks" and "A Bad Day at the Wrong Time." In seventh grade, she wrote her first full-length book (which no one else will ever see!). The Gellan Parker series was begun many years later, in 2013. When she's not writing or "mom-ing," she enjoys sketching and painting, gardening, traveling, and reading. Read More Read Less
