About this author

Katie Alender (rhymes with “calendar”!) grew up in South Florida, which probably explains the recurring alligator dreams (one of which is documented in Bad Girls Don’t Die). She is the third of four children (three girls and a boy) and the child of three very loving and encouraging parents.

She attended high school at the Palm Beach County School of the Arts, studying Communication Arts. From there, she went on to the Florida State University Film School, which led her to her current hometown, a tiny hamlet on the West Coast known as “Los Angeles.”

She enjoys writing, reading, sewing (especially quilts), trying to grow plants, birdwatching in the backyard, photography, visiting friends’ blogs, and hanging out with her husband (known on the bl...more


Well, this has been a quiet little blog lately, hasn't it?


I hope all of my readers and friends had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying 2012!

Keep reading and be happy!

Phineas Redux by Anthony Trollope
" I only give it 4, even though I think it's more of a 4 1/2. I need to differentiate from the first Phineas Finn book, 'Phineas Finn' (oddly enough), which I would give a 7 on a scale of 1-5. Redux shows Lady Glen --oops, I mean the Duchess of Omni... "

“ That's the pathetic thing about high school. Everyone tries so hard to be something they aren't. It's gotten so I don't know who I am, so how can I even try to be who I am, much less who I'm not?

Katie Alender, Bad Girls Don't Die

“Just say something real. Everyone just always tries so hard, and it all comes out the same. I just want someone to say something real.”
Katie Alender, Bad Girls Don't Die

“I can't help it, Alexis," he said "I want to make you think too much...and then I want to hear the things you've been thinking too much.”
