Pam LaughlinAUTHOR: Yup, I was one of those kids. Call me an avid reader or a book nerd, but my head was buried in books as I walked down the halls. The librarian knew me by first name and favorite genre, and I thought the March sisters were way cooler than the irls in school. Things haven't changed much. I still love the way a great book can transport me to a different place and time, and I continue to bond with imaginary characters and fantastic stories. I was born and raised in New Jersey but don't hold that against me. Believe it or not, New Jersey has some beautiful spots and I'm lucky enough to live in one of them with a pack load of males (my husband, 3 sons and 2 Havenese furry boys). I've been a writer most of my life, starting in 3rd grade when my short story won the school writing competition. It was about a family that lived in a freckle, so I guess I've suffered from FPP (fantasy prone personality) from an early age. Thank God! Read More Read Less
