Luna Stone

Books were a constant in this author's home growing up. The local library was visited as much as the supermarket. Luna Stone was a child of the Berenstain Bears and Curious George. “Nothing enchants the spirit more than a great story,” Stone wrote in a recent blog. She supposed her love for writing began early too. Stone wrote her first story at age eight entitled, “Tall Like Me.” The twelve-page book consisted of loose-leaf paper stapled together. In it amongst the crooked illustrations made with color pencils existed a tale about a girl being bullied because of her height. Through out Stone’s school age years and well into college she enjoyed the works of Paulo Coelho, Stephen King, Angela Carter, James Baldwin, and hundreds more. The Curse of the Nine: Laline’s Ascension is her first published novel. She is currently working on the sequel at home in New York.
