MEGAN SHULL BIO - 

Megan Shull, author of Yours Truly, Skye O'Shea and Skye's the Limit!
from American Girl, first thought of her sassy, adventurous title
character while hiking up a steep canyon on a bright fall day. She had a
sense that Skye's spirit was something special, so before she took
another step, she sat down beside a stream, fished out a pen and a
crinkled receipt from her jeans pocket, and started writing. Since that
day, Shull never goes on hikes without a pen and a piece of paper. "You
never know when inspiration will hit," she says, adding she finds
tranquility and inspiration in the gorges, waterfalls, and lakes
surrounding her hometown of Ithaca, New York. 

Even though Shull's books are fiction, the emotions she writes about
come straight from the heart. "People often ask me where I get ideas for
my books. I try to write from those feelings we've all had," she says.
"Love, fear, wanting to be liked, feelings of intense disappointment or
joy, it doesn't matter if you are 11 or 33, those emotions are
universal. We've all been there."  

If you think Megan Shull sounds a little bit like a psychologist, you're
right.  Besides being a writer, Shull holds a doctorate in Educational
Psychology from Cornell University, where she also received her
undergraduate degree. At Cornell, Shull's research focused on how to
help girls negotiate adolescence, which she thinks is no easy task these
days. "Today's MTV-crazed culture is tough on girls. They're up against
unrealistic images of what it's like to be a woman, a gratuitous
disregard for civility, and an enormous pressure to just be perfect. On
top of all that, all too often kids don't have the luxury these days to
just be kids." Indeed, girls everywhere may agree with Shull when she
adds, "Plus I think schools give way too much homework!" 

A former collegiate ice hockey player and youth hockey coach, Shull once
biked 4,000 miles from Portland, Oregon, to New York City. She loves
reading stories of real life adventure, and on warm summer days can be
seen paddling her canoe on the lake by her home. Shull encourages girls
everywhere to follow their dreams. She thinks Glenda, the good witch
from The Wizard of Oz, says it best: "You've always had it in you, my
dear, you've always had the power." "That is one of life's big secrets,"
Shull says with a grin, "You will never know until you try."
