Welcome to my blog, which includes special posts for teachers and students. Here I’ll share information about my books (including various giveaways), writing prompts, book and research recommendations, events, and wee bits and pieces about my beloved Scotland.
We authors are always a wee bit terrified to read reviews of our books, so it was with great relief that I read this review of my second book from Kirkus, which includes these lovely lines:
“Magras deftly balances introspection and action as Drest proves herself willing to risk everything—and the result will leave readers cheering. Fair-minded men and strong women in unusual roles make this a standout among quest tales for middle graders.”
Read the full review here.
Today is the birthday of @michaelmagrasbooks, a brilliant writer and critic who happens to be a fantastic actor, singer, and altogether witty gent too. His creativity, humor, intellect, empathy, and progressive ideals make him an absolute joy to be married to. Happy birthday, my dear!

More gorgeous brown leaves, but this time backlit by the morning sun. These are one of two kinds of oaks in our yard (the other one is golden-brown), and these are red-brown but glow crimson in the sun. They`re gorgeous with or without sun. I adore these warm colors.
