Meetig the Newcomers to the ALAN Workshop: Introducing Breeana Shields

10/21/2019

I hope you enjoyed browsing through the authors who will be giving solo speeches and participating in conversation at the ALAN Workshop that I posted last Wednesday. I know everyone is excited about seeing old favorites. At the same time, it is fascinating to put a face to the author of a book that you have found through a friend, on a library shelf, or through an Amazon suggestion.

I still think my favorite part of the ALAN Workshop is finding those new authors. Even if they have a few books under their belt, I love when I finally discover a whole new set of books to read. This is the case with Breeana Shields. Page Street Kids publisher put her name on the list and I found a new author to explore. If you are a fan of fantasy fiction, you are in for a treat.

Breeana has already published a companion set of fantasy novels--Poison's Kiss and Poison's Cage. (You just have to love a book that has a tag line that should Love is Lethal.) I loved reading about these two novels and they are on my list!

​But....

Breeana will be talking about her newest book--The Bone Charmer. I believe she has developed an intriguing premise and I have a ton of questions. If we are really lucky, she might give us some insight into The Bone Charmer's sequel, The Bone Thief. Fortunately, the cover for this book has already been revealed.

Poison Kisses, bone collections, snakes, and skeletons all suggest that perhaps these are books that might add to your Halloween holiday. What could  possibly go wrong in these fantasy worlds? Don't fret, they are all just an order away.

An Interview with Breeana Shields

Until next week!
