Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl handed the reins over to Lydia Schoch. And what is Lydia asking us to share? She is asking us to share the fictional characters we wish were real people. I did something similar a couple of years ago; you can find it here, and I honestly can’t think of any new characters I’d want to meet. So instead, this week I’m continuing my alphabet challenge focused on author names. Today, we’ll look at seven “E” author names.

You can find the “A” authors here, the “B” authors are here, the “C” authors are here, and the “D” authors are here. All author images come from their websites and link to their names. I’ve also included a book by the author.
Now let’s look at seven “E” author names!
