Adriana Mather
1983
An actor, a film producer and a writer in equal measure, the American author Adriana Mather is a highly versatile and gifted novelist with an articulate and coherent style that speaks directly to her young audience, as she primarily focuses on the ‘young adult’ genre and demographic, with many of her stories revolving around the supernatural, as well as a number of other elements as well. With a rich and varied background and an extremely colorful family history, she has a huge well of inspiration from which to draw from, building her exciting and in-depth worlds that draw the reader in through her mixture of warmth and humor. Knowing and understanding her younger readers, she speaks in a fun and accessible manner that they can relate to, never condescending to them, and always keeping it witty, entertaining and engaging throughout.
