About this author

I am the author of two contemporary YA novels, SAY THE WORD (2009) and BEFORE, AFTER, AND SOMEBODY IN BETWEEN (2007). My essay "Fearless" appears in the Harper Collins anthology DEAR BULLY: 70 Authors Tell Their Stories, edited by Megan Kelly Hall and Carrie Jones (September 2011)

My latest novel, THE UNQUIET (YA paranormal) will be released on July 17, 2012. Blogger reviewers interested in an ARC, please contact me and I'll be happy to forward your request to my publisher. Thanks!
