Adam N. Wilkinson
Adam learned how to read with Dick and Jane before delving into far less boring books. His bus ride to school was an hour long each way for seven years—it was during these tedious doldrums that he discovered a passion for reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Despite the harsh criticism he received from his teachers when he dabbled in different writing styles—first-person, second-person and third-person narratives, choose your own adventures, starting with the end, finishing with the beginning—he's still writing to this day.
He studied psychology at BYU and resides in Mesa, Arizona with his wife and two kids.
Megan Wallace
Megan has had a close relationship with fiction books since
her early childhood in Washington state. Weekly visits to the public library
were a necessity. Reading every single book in the Babysitters Club and Sweet
Valley Twins series was a given. She can undoubtedly thank her long career of
reading for her vast vocabulary (which her friends and family lovingly put up
with). She took a brief hiatus from recreational reading during her years at
UNLV (because who has time or energy for novels when you're knee-deep in
nursing textbooks?). She has since dabbled in blogging, writing newsletters for
her small-town farmer's market, and making semi-sensational YouTube videos
about her skincare and cosmetics business. As a mother of three (and wife to
one) living in Arizona, reading is the one and only area in her life that is
completely and justifiably her own.Heather Wilkinson
Everyone's familiar with the tips and advice blurbs nowadays about “raising a reader?” That is
precisely how Heather was raised in her northern California home. If she
wasn’t in her room reading, it was probably because she was in the
front room picking another book from the vast library of neatly
organized books ranging from the Disney collection, informative texts on
dinosaurs, encyclopedias, and children’s chapter books. She’d race to
finish homework at the public library after school so she could peruse
the long shelves of musty books whose spines cracked upon opening. It’s
this love of books that drove her to become an elementary school teacher
so she could share her reading experiences with children. After
graduating from BYU with a BS in Elementary Education and a minor in
TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages),
she bravely took on positions in inner-city schools in Texas and
Arizona where she learned the true implications of what “raising a
reader” doesn’t look like and began her journey to correct it.She currently lives and teaches in Mesa, Arizona with her very verbose husband and two adorable children.
Richard R. Wilkinson
Having voraciously read all the books in the house as a child,
Richard began buying books as a middle-schooler with the few nickels and dimes
he could save. Later, the tiny town nearby started a small library in the hallway
outside the Sheriff’s office, allowing him to pursue his love of literature
more broadly and less expensively.For practical purposes (primarily financial) Richard pursued an information technology career, picking up a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Software and a Master’s in Business Administration along the way. From writing code to specifying business requirements and composing business communications of various kinds, Richard has had his share of keyboard cramps and mouse elbow pains over the years. Now that he is retired, Richard has more time to enjoy reading fiction and to dabble in writing that is neither compulsory nor employment-related.
