  • "I write the kind of books I write because I want to help kids understand that nobody gets to pick what life dishes out to them. What you do get to choose is how you respond to what life gives you. No matter what happens, life is a gift. And always worth living." —Lurlene McDaniel
  • She attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, where she earned a B.A. in English.
  • To make certain that her books are medically accurate, McDaniel conducts extensive research. She interviews health care professionals and works with appropriate medical groups and hospice organizations, as well as the Tennessee Organ Donor Services. "I study medicine and traditional grief therapy techniques to give the novels a sense of serious medical reality," she says. "I also study the Bible to instill the human element --- the values and ethics often overlooked by the coldness of technology."

  • McDaniel began writing about young adults when her son Sean was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 3. His illness changed the lives of everyone in her family forever. "I saw what life was like for someone who was chronically ill, and I experienced how it affected the dynamics of the family," says McDaniel. She says she found that writing about the trauma and its effects was therapeutic
  • In addition to her popular YA novels, McDaniel has written radio and television scripts, promotional and advertising copy, and a magazine column. She is a frequent speaker at schools, writers' conferences, and conventions.
  • Three of her novels were selected by children as IRA-CBC Children's Choices: SOMEWHERE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH, TOO YOUNG TO DIE, and GOODBYE DOESN'T MEAN FOREVER. SIX MONTHS TO LIVE has been placed in a literary time capsule at the Library of Congress, to be opened in the year 2089.
  • McDaniel's works include TO LIVE AGAIN, one of the Dawn Rochelle books; ANGEL OF MERCY, the companion to ANGEL OF HOPE; and HOW DO I LOVE THEE, three stories about young couples who are inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning's beautiful sonnet. In her novel, TELLING CHRISTINA GOODBYE, McDaniel shows that everything can change in the blink of an eye.

  • Critics noted that Haddix relies on a much more familiar set-up for her second novel, placing Tish Bonner, the main character in Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey, in an English class where she is required to keep a journal, giving the reader an insider's view of her troubles.
  • . The same writer further described this second book as a "tough-edged if familiar story of a beleaguered high school girl" who confides all her difficulties in her diary.
  • After becoming the mother of two children, Meredith and Connor, Haddix admitted "amuse(ment) that I felt like I didn't have enough time to write before they were born. It's much harder now. . . . And a lot of times when I'm doing the ordinary things that go along with having two kids, a husband, and a house . . . I'm listening to a voice in my head insisting, 'Write about me!' or suggesting things like, 'What if Dorry's dad confronts her before she goes to the mall?' Now, I'll be the first to admit that it sounds a little weird to have voices talking in my head, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

  • Critics responded positively to the theme of this futuristic novel, applauding, as did a Publishers Weekly contributor, for example, "the unsettling, thought-provoking premise (which) should suffice to keep readers hooked."

  • Meg Cabot(Meggin Patricia Cabot)  (1967 - )akaPatricia Cabot, Jenny Carroll
  • Meggin Cabot was born on 1st February 1967, in Bloomington, Indiana. The intervening years of Meggin's childhood were spent in pursuit of air conditioning, of which there was little at the time in Southern Indiana. A primary source proved to be the Monroe County Public Library, where Meggin whiled away many hours, reading the complete works of Jane Austen, Judy Blume and Barbara Cartland. It was around this time that Meggin's desire to be a writer bloomed, a goal that was not forgotten, even when she fell in with a theatre crowd in high school and went on to star in productions such as The Good Doctor and Li'l Abner.After earning a Fine Arts degree at Indiana University, Meggin moved to New York City in 1989, intent in pursuing a career in freelance illustration. Assignments by MTV and Planned Parenthood soon followed. In September, 1994, however, spurred by the sudden death of her father, Meggin dusted off one of the many manuscripts she had penned in her spare time and began to look for representation. Where Roses Grow Wild, her first historical romance was published by St. Martin's Press under the name Patricia Cabot. Two other romances followed, and then prompted by her mother moving in with one of her former a
