Featuring Hannah Fouts

Hannah grew up with a knack for getting lost in her imagination . . . especially when she was supposed to do chores. Now, she writes stories for kids that spark imagination and protect innocence. Her favorite thing as a kid was to walk into the library, head straight to the children’s section, and check out any book without having to worry about the content. That’s hardly the case for kids today. To combat this issue, she writes novels that kids love and parents feel good about. When Hannah isn’t daydreaming about her stories, she can be found stamping, doodling, and gluing new entries in her reading journal.

About Her Short Story

After causing an accident on the docks that lands their dad in the hospital, Olivia and her younger sister Norah have to recruit their Uncle Silas to help finish the fishing trip so they don’t miss another payment and lose the fishing boat. In order for him to go, the girls must make sure the lighthouse runs smoothly while he’s away.

But the storm on the horizon is about to cause more chaos than she ever anticipated.

And may wash away any hope of restoring her shattered relationship with Norah.
