Wesley Britton, author of Return to Alpha
What inspires you to write? Almost anything can spark an idea in me—I often feel like Allen Ginsberg in his “A Supermarket in California” where he is shopping for images up and down the grocery aisles. I shop for images in phrases that I hear, books that I read, TV shows and music that I…

Meet Inger Brown, author of The Bobbling series
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I have always loved picture books, as a child I loved looking at the pictures, being taken somewhere else. I am an illustrator and I enjoy doing jovial illustrations of characters and then writing stories for them. It is what makes me giggle…
