Harry Potter meets The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe meets X-Men: That's how I describe Lynette Noni's The Medoran Chronicles series, which I HIGHLY recommend. Lynette also has a newsletter where she shares updates on her writing projects. If you're looking for fantasy or suspense books to read along your writing journey, I highly recommend checking out Lynette's books!

Writing stuff. Drawing stuff. You know, a newsletter.

The writing process, insights into publishing, tips on illustrations - Meaghan's got it all, and she shares it with a fun, honest and inviting voice. She's also super talented and her wonderful fantasy book THE BEAR HOUSE is a 2023 Red Maple nominee. I recommend her newsletter if you enjoy writing, illustrating or reading!
