McCall Hoyle
In a nutshell: I'm a sixth-grade teacher, mom, and author who loves reading and dogs!
My hopeful, heart-warming middle grade books, Stella, Just Gus, and Millie are part of Shadow Mountain Publishing's empathy-building line of books. They're available everywhere books are sold.
You can find my young adult novels. The Thing with Feathers and Meet the Sky, anywhere books are sold.
A Little More Detailed: When I'm not reading or writing, I'm probably spending time with my family and our dogs, Apple and Edith. I would love to be a professional dog trainer when I grow up.
I come from a long line of strong women. I'm named for my grandmother, "Pinkie", who was the first female editor of an Associated Press newspaper. Her sister, my great-aunt, was a physics professor at Auburn University. They were women ahead of their times, which I think is pretty cool.
My husband, son-in-law, and I all teach at the same middle school. My daughter teaches at the high school next door. Education literally runs in the family. I secretly, although not-so-secretly since I'm sharing it here, hope my fifteen-year-old son will be a teacher someday too.
School and library visits bring me great joy as does meeting readers in person! So I invite you to reach out to me on the Contact Me page on mccallhoyle.com. Maybe our paths will cross in person someday.
