Jacquitta A. McManus, a little girl from Kentucky and author of two fantasy adventure children’s books, Labyrinth’s Door – Anyia “Dream of a Warrior” and Talee and the Fallen Object, was always drawn to fantasy stories. It was a way for her to immerse herself into exciting adventures in faraway lands that she otherwise wouldn’t experience. As she got older she would find that immersing herself into those fantasy stories, as a little girl, was just the beginning of a journey that would lead her to writing her own fantasy adventure children’s books.

One of my greatest achievements was finding my love for storytelling.

I was one of those kids that grew up believing I didn't have a talent, and although my English teachers always told me that I told good stories, it really didn't sink in until a few years ago. Can I just say, better late than never.
