Both Leslie and Janice Sommers were raised in New Jersey, but have a little New York sass to them (courtesy of Janice's hometown of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn). This duo is known in their respective friend circles as the 'funny one' and often are sought out to make others laugh. Janice has always been found with a book in her hands and spent most of Leslie's childhood reading to her children. Reading and writing YA Fantasy has always come naturally to Leslie, getting this from her mother, so it was a no brainer for them to co-write a series. If reading is their hobby, then writing is their passion. Teaching herself to read and create stories at 3 years old, Leslie knew this was what she wanted to do. Though the Amulet series is their first, they have already been working on a second series, steeped in fantasy and romance. You can follow them on Twitter and Instagram at lj_sommers, Tiktok at lj_sommersauthor, and Leslie can be found on Facebook as Leslie Sommers. If you're lucky, you can catch them in the wild stacks of their local library, working through the new YA fantasies (and some contemporary romances) that were just released or assembling non-official book clubs with new friends.
