 WASHINGTON, MO. - Local author Laura (Brandt) Miller recently visited Washington Middle School. She talked to Mrs. Kaylin Bade’s seventh-grade Language Arts classes about writing realistic fiction.
“They were all so eager to learn about writing and what it takes to be an author,” Miller said. “We talked about everything from writing the first line of a scene to molding a character to how long it takes to write a book.” FIND THE FULL ARTICLE HERE! I fully expect to see some authors come from these two 7th grade classes taught by Mrs. Kaylin Bade! I had so much fun talking with them. And remember, when your book is made into a movie, I want a ticket to the premiere! :) Find more photos from the day here.

I'll see you in Grapevine!! ♥Laura  Recently, I was asked a question by Anna on Goodreads. She wanted to know who, of all my characters, was my favorite and why. And Anna already knew. She already knew that asking me that question was like asking me to choose my favorite child! But I love the question, and I'm going to do my best at answering it! So, Anna, here it goes: Butterfly Weeds and My Butterfly  Will~He's my first. (And my mother would say that fact holds some weight. ...Well, she'd tell me in private, away from my other two, younger sisters. ...Just kidding, Koph and Ape! Just kidding. ;) ). Will's a firefighter, who has a beautiful voice. Of course, I love that about him! And he knows what he wants, and he possesses this UNWAVERING love. But he's not perfect, and I love that about him, too. Julia~She's independent and so strong-willed, but she also knows when to follow her heart. And I like her courage. Jeff~Will's best friend. I think we all know or knew a "Jeff" at some time. I like him because he's awkward and because he's a great friend. For All You Have Left
By Way of Accident
When Cicadas Cry
A Bird on a Windowsill
So, who's my favorite?! I HAVE NO IDEA! Maybe you're a better judge! Find all my books here!
