The Mepham High School Library in conjunction with the National English Honor Society will host its annual author visit on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, at 2:30 pm via Crowdcast.
Makiia Lucier is our guest this year and will be discussing her three novels:
Song of the Abyss, Isle of Blood and Stone, and
A Death Struck Year.
From the author's website:
Makiia Lucier grew up on the Pacific island of Guam and has degrees in journalism and library science from the University of Oregon and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Her books have appeared on many notable lists, including the Kids’ Indie Next, the American Booksellers Association’s ‘Best Books for Children,’ and the American Library Association’s ‘Best Fiction for Young Adults.’ A Death-Struck Year, her debut novel, is set in Portland, Oregon during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. The world of St. John del Mar, in which Isle of Blood and Stone and Song of the Abyss take place, was inspired by a childhood love of the Indiana Jones movies, as well as a lifelong fascination with old, old maps. She lives with her family in North Carolina.
