I hope throwing a new post up here doesn’t confuse you guys, but I have REALLY exciting news to share with you!
Last year, LeGrande had the honor of welcoming author Leigh Anne Florence and her wonderful weenie dogs for an author visit. The pups were SO cute and we had a lovely day talking about reading and writing! I was really inspired to try providing a yearly opportunity for YOU (my students) to get to meet real-life authors.
I’ve got a SCARY GOOD surprise for you!
On October 14th, LeGrande will welcome Johnathon Rand for the afternoon! He is the author of the popular American Chillers book series and I think that this is going to be one incredible program.
If you’re not already a fan and you love a good scary story, then you really need to read some of his books. Besides, I think it’s always much cooler to meet an author after you’re at least mildly familiar with their work. I’ve met quite a few authors over the years and I always have a better experience when I can talk to them about what they’ve written AFTER I have actually read it myself.
To give you some inspiration, I created the following video. Take a look!
So, what do you think? Are you excited?

Cool. What kind of horror are they? Pee-your-pants scary, gut-wrenching disgust, mild shock, or just plain disturbing?

I would classify them along the lines of scary/spooky in most of R. L. Stine’s work.
These are pretty entertaining stuff, though!
Student “Chiller” readers need to weigh in here, too!
