Summer break may be halfway over but we still have more summer fun with our Blink authors! Curious what has been inspiring them lately? Keep reading!

Lorie Langdon: Music…always music. Some of the songs on my current writing playlist that are inspiring me are: If I Can’t Love Her by from the Beauty and the Beast Broadway production. Love’s To Blame by for King & Country. Lost Boy by Ruth B.

Jonathan Friesen: Tattoos on the Heart. It’s a series of stories from the gang-filled streets of LA. I read out of this book almost every day. It is so real, so authentic, so painful, so heartwarming … just buy it and read it.

Carol Lynch Williams: I’ve been watching you have television show that I quite like. That’s dark and all murdery. I’ve wanted to write a murder mystery for a good long time and I finally, finally have an idea. This television show has sort of inspired me on a way to write this newest novel.

Evangeline Denmark: Music! Lately it’s been Night Riots, The Fray, and Fall Out Boy. Teens! I’m often inspired by the teens I know and meet. I’m amazed at the level of creativity young people seem to have. Wish I could make it into a magic potion!

Luke Reynolds: My 7th grade students. Ice cream. Great movies.
