about this author
Ellen Hopkins is the New York Times bestselling author of Crank, Burned, Impulse, Glass, and Identical. She lives in Carson City, Nevada, with her husband and son.

Okay, as promised, I was adopted as
a baby and grew up in Palm Springs,
California. I went to a great private
school, where my teachers
convinced me I could become
anything I wanted. I knew from age 9,
when I published my first poem in the
Palm Springs Desert Sun, that I
wanted to be a writer. -Ellen Hopkins
