Lee Roddy’s Blog
Blog: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page or Weblog, often reflecting the author’s personality
My thoughts primarily concern readers, writers and authors. Young readers are the first “leg” in such a tripod of words. I want them to love reading. Helping aspiring writers is the middle leg because I know what it’s like to want to write for years, yet only get rejections. Authors are the third leg, so a blog is a network for those of us who string words together for a living.
I think about how I’d be out of work without parents, teachers and kids buying millions of copies of my books. Without giving writing tips to aspiring writers of all ages, I might deprive someone of ways to become an author and write uplifting novels for now and generations yet unborn.
Without contact among fellow authors of published works who speak the “inside” language of our craft, my writing spirit could languish. However, supported by readers, writers and authors, my life is richer, which is what we professional writers seek to make true of others.
For this blog to thrive, it needs to be fed by interactive readers, writers and authors. Technology allows us to know that in addition to the USA and Canada, our website receives visitors from Europe, South Africa, Australia and Asia. This astounds me, as does the fact we know which features were lingered over or quickly passed. But unless a comment is left, it’s like tracks in the sand. Someone or something passed, yet left only prints.
So I hope readers and writers of all ages will leave some sign of your visit. I need your thoughts. I may use excerpts here or on the website, such as in the question and answer section. Tell me which of my books you’ve read, and your reaction. Tell me your thoughts on what you’d like to see here or on the website. So reader, writer or author, my thoughts are of you and how to make your day a little brighter by sometime I say or write.

Hi Lee,
I have been praying for you!
My son, Luke, continues to enjoy your books. He has read the three titles we bought this summer: The Secret of the Sunken Sub, The Dangerous Cruise, and The Dangerous Canoe Race. You fill your books with many exciting details and they also teach good morals. Thank-you for pouring all of that creativity into your writing!

My grandson Adam is crazy about the Ladd Family adventures. He isn’t old enough to read them himself, but every time he comes to visit for a few days I read him another one. So far we’ve finished six. I guess you could say he’s Ladd mad.
Hey, your comment section is working now! I’m so excited to see your blog up and running. I hope all this blogging doesn’t become a drain. I’ve really backed off lately.
Nice chatting!
Hi! My name is Bethany I am nine and want to be an author when I grow up. I had to do an adventure book report for school. I decided to do Mystery of The Island Jungle, when I finished I thought that it was the best book ever!!!
That was the only book written by you that I have read, but I am hoping to find and read more!!!!!
