The characters from the Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum were rewarded for achieving their goal. My goal, of course, is to write lots of books! If I could choose... I would have:
The heart of Linda Urban's books. Her stories are like a warm hug. A whisper of, "I understand. I am just like you. And it will be ok."
The delicious humor of Roald Dahl. It is a stream of consciousness type of laughing at the odd and quirky and sometimes dark side of life. A giddiness in observation.
The expert storytelling of Gary Paulson. Perfect form without formula. An element of danger... the sense that the stakes couldn't be higher.
There are more, but that's a lofty start. If my books have a tiny measure of what those three authors have, I will say I've reached the end of the yellow brick road.
Happy writing,
Rachel
