#MGBooktober Day 8: The magical item I want is from The Twelve by @cindylin_tweets — the Coppice Comb! It causes trees to sprout around you, protecting you from danger. (But I want to point out that there are many amazing treasures in this book series.)
#MgBooktober Day 5 - I always wanted to live in The Emerald City (especially as depicted by @skottieyoung). Who doesn't want to hang out with that zany citizenry? But I would also love to live in Koriko from Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono.
#MGBooktober Day 3. I really loved Endor College, the creepy school of witchcraft in The Little Broomstick by Mary Stewart, which was of the books that inspired my upcoming Spell Sweeper. (It's school, btw, is called Dragonsong Academy.) 🐉🎶
@rgspaulding My latest character is Caradine Moone, a sassy 12-year-old who is frustrated by not being as popular as others at her (wizard) school. She was inspired by the desires and dreams that I see in my students. I'm posting the cover so you can see what she looks like.

Quote of the week for the teens in my creative writing class:
“Adventure is merely unbridled curiosity combined with poor planning and a good attitude.”
