First off, I'm at Nicole Zoltack's blog today talking about the fantasy creatures from Defying Gravity.

Most writers are readers first. I know books featured a major role in my becoming a writer.

As a young child, my favorite book was Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff. I loved that book, still do. What is better than museums and dinosaurs? Hm, maybe that is why I'm such a big Jurassic Park fan. Perhaps.
What is one of your favorite childhood books?
