The Owl's Tree
Adrian Fogelin, Author  She didn’t plan to be an author like her mother, but it
happened.  Living on a houseboat and in transitional neighborhoods, working at a zoo,
and teaching middle school all provided characters, stories, and inspiration for her
award-winning books.  Adrian’s characters cope positively with issues familiar to many
of her readers.  Her stories evoke a sense of hopefulness and promote understanding
of youngsters whose problematic family situations make them feel and act “different.”
Adrian’s presentations include exercises from her workshops, “Think Like An Author.”    
Like magic, stories begin to develop.  Sharing her manuscripts and galleys, she draws
parallels between editors and teachers.  Students provide feedback for her
manuscripts in progress.  Her writing workshops for teachers and students are
nationally known.
Her novels: Crossing Jordan ($14.95 & $6.95), Anna Casey’s Place In The World
($14.95 & $6.95), My Brother’s Hero ($14.95& $6.95), Sister Spider Knows All
($14.95), and The Big Nothing ($14.95).
