Lana Figgs
Lana
Taylor Figgs was born & raised here on Delmarva's Eastern Shore.
She's had a love of books since before she could read and has had a
library card as soon as she could read! Her interest in writing began
in her teens - with her mom's urging & encouraging for years to
take courses with Institute of Children's Literature. She did take her
mom's advice…18 YEARS later! In June of 2005, she became a graduate of
I.C.L. and her last assignment became her first accepted query in
November of 2005. This became Lana's first published magazine article
in May 2006 (Faces magazine; kids 9-14/world cultures).
Non-fiction
is her preferred genre and her passions are research of History,
Genealogy, and Bible/Archaeology. She hopes to someday move from
writing articles to writing a book.
Lana's
been married to Roy for 15+yrs & they have 3 lovely daughters. Her
oldest daughter, age 11, has had a passion for writing since age 7
(when mom started her writing courses…) and a love for books since
birth.
