Liv Fuller
Author of Inspirational Middle-Grade Fiction
Born in an idyllic small town in rural Wisconsin, I still remember the smell of the barn when I helped my dad treat cows with milk fever. The warmth of the old house after spending hours wading through snow drifts taller than I was. Climbing onto the hot summer roof to pelt my three younger siblings with water balloons. Wearing Green Bay Packers apparel to the little Lutheran church on the hill on crisp autumn Sundays. Playing little league and duck hunting with the boys—and beating them. And forging the strongest, longest friendships a tomboy could ask for.
I spent my early adult years in wild, wonderful Madison, Wisconsin. Mad-town, as it is called. Forty acres surrounded by reality. A place where minds stretched big, crimes cowered small, and crowds were quaint. I earned my journalism and law degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I’ll forever have the fierce heart and drive of a Badger.
Over the past twenty-five years, metro Atlanta has become my second home. My career as an attorney and banker has paid the bills, but it’s my family that fills my heart.
I’m married to my soul mate and best friend. I’m a mama bear to two incredible children and two equally incredible bonus children. Along with our beloved pit bull rescues, they’re the loves of my life.
For all these fifty-some years, the artist in me has begged for attention. Over the past decade, I’ve finally given her what time I could, pouring my heart into writing The Blessing Box.
The character Hugh and many of the story’s events were inspired by the experiences of my son, who was diagnosed with autism in early college. The Blessing Box is my love letter to him and to everyone who has ever marched to the beat of their own drum, faced life’s challenges, and refused to give up.
To me, they are the real superheroes. Giving voice to ordinary people who dare to be different is both my passion and my privilege.
Always Be You,
Liv
