My name is Lois Brandt and I write children’s stories. This is my desk on one of its neater days.
When I was little I had a lot of trouble learning to read. I remember looking at all those letters jammed together and not knowing what they meant. I didn't really like reading until the 4th grade. That's when the words started giving me pictures in my head.
My parents allowed me to read anything I could pick up, and I started picking up a lot of books. Some books I liked, some I didn't. But I kept on reading. I was always looking for that special book. I knew when I found it, because I’d read until my eyes hurt.
My goal is to write books so good that you’ll read until your eyes hurt. Writing that good is going to take a lot of practice, so stay with me, read some of my stories, and let me know when your eyes start hurting.
