The writing gene is strong in the family of mother Angela Gates and daughter J.H. Lehr, Hayden authors who pen novels across the realms of fiction and fantasy.
"My dad was the editor of a department magazine, but my daughter and I were the first in the family to dabble in fiction," Gates said Wednesday. "As a homeschooling family, we were avid readers and books were essential in our household. When we moved to Coeur d'Alene 22-plus years ago, J.H. and I began competing in the Julie Meier Writers Competition at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library. Several of our short stories were prize-winners, which encouraged us to pursue full-length novel writing."
