Welcome!
Hi, I’m Addie D. Mueller! I’m a teen writer and bookworm who lives in the Midwest.
I’ve been writing stories since age five, although I never imagined I would someday be writing as a career. In my lifetime, I’ve wanted to be a baker, an actress, an artist, and many other things.
Writing didn’t become my serious hobby until age thirteen. Before then, my life was filled with other things I wanted to do more: softball, spelling bees, acting, swimming, etc. But in the spring of 2020, I found myself with a lot of time—and not a lot to do.
That’s when I got a great story idea that ended up changing my life. It was a night like any other, and I was thinking about The Chronicles of Narnia again, specifically the idea of how hard being a royal would be. With that idea in mind, I began working on my first book: the story of a mischievous, underprepared prince and his friends who decide to save their kingdoms from the evil villain planning their demise.
In the midst of this plotting, I joined an online community for teen writers. That group has been an invaluable resource, filled with amazing friends and incredible storytelling. It’s a place where I can be myself and connect with other creative minds. My stories have gotten better and stronger because of them.
I recently finished the first draft of my first book, now part of a middle-grade fantasy series. My books feature relatable, entertaining characters who choose hope, second chances, and deep, authentic friendships. (Not to say there isn’t any suspense or villains in my book…😏) My goal is to finish my first series and get it published in the next ten years. I can’t wait to share Caleb’s story with all of you!
