About A. LaFaye
Family is at the core of who I am and are is the center of most of my books.
When I'm not joining my family for a board game, a walk to the park, or a trip to the zoo, I'm writing or reading, but I'm also an associate professor of English at Greenville College in the academic year and a visiting associate professor in the Hollins University Summer Graduate Program in Children's and Young Adult Literature.
As a kid, I collected living salamanders and tree toads. My biggest collection was 22 tree toads and 7 salamanders, all living in a window well.
My first book was called Phantom on the Terrace. It was a handwritten novel about a group of girls (me and my school friends) investigating a haunted house Scooby-style.
I love to work in the garden—planting, weeding. My favorite flowers are poppies, roses, and hibiscus.
