What I Write

My young adult novels are dark, edgy, and realistic. Although I love paranormal and fantasy books, I prefer to create stories that could really happen (and in many cases, really are happening). For me, the echo of a story set firmly in the real world always haunts me long after I've read the final word. If you like Ellen Hopkins, Jay Asher, and Neal Shusterman, you might like my books, too.

Romantic Arcs in YA Fiction - Learn through Love!

Hey, hey, hey!!!

It's been a long time coming, but I have emerged from the depths of the internet abyss! What have I been doing these last quiet years? Learning all about me, about love, and about what's truly important in life. As I pick up where my old blog left off, I challenge all the young writers out there to close your eyes, think of where you want to be, and believe you can get there.

This next blog series is going to focus on the importance of romantic arcs in young adult novels, why your book needs an authentic one, and how to leverage your life experiences to make your reader feel it, too.

Happy writing!

About Me

I'm a writer of contemporary teen fiction. My bookshelf is SLAMMED with young adult novels and I should be on some sort of twelve step program for my spending habits in Barnes and Noble. And, for the record, I LIKE having real books, so no Nook or Kindle for this gal.
