Re: [LM_NET] Author Biography Web Sites?

["Sharron L. McElmeel" <mcelmeel@MCELMEEL.COM>]

We have links to over 400 authors/illustrator sites at:
http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriculum/authorlinks.html
These are sites that are hosted by the author/illustrator themselves 
-- as opposed to commercial sites.  The content is the responsibility 
of the subject or someone they "hire."

Check out the author site
http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriculum/authorlinks.html

and the state choice award sites at
http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriculum/bookawards.html

Suggestions for additions to these two sites are always welcome.
