| Author Notes: | A snippet of a family story transformed Kirby Larson from history-phobe to history fanatic; her debut historical novel, Hattie Big Sky , earned a Newbery Honor. She's pursued her passion for historical fiction with titles such as Hattie Ever After , Duke , Dash , Liberty , and Code Word Courage and combined her love for both history and mystery in Audacity Jones to the Rescue , and Audacity Jones Steals the Show . Ironically, the next two books for this history lover are contemporary fiction, including the second title in the Shermy and Shake series, Shermy and Shake: The Not-So-Nice Neighbor , and Gut Reaction , which is co-written with her daughter Quinn Wyatt. Kirby lives in Kenmore Washington with her husband Neil and very naughty dog Raleigh. |
